We all know that Nike has adopted the Black Mamba name as associated with Kobe Bryant, but one of their latest pairs of shoes have been dubbed the same nickname. This pair of Nike Terra Humara “Black Mamba´s” sport a black upper along with volt yellow accents, as well as the use of mesh / felt and 3M materials. No word as to a release date, but we will keep you guys updated.

One of the most strikingly original shoes of this year is the new Nike ACG Terra, designed by Nike’s Michael Sarantakos. It’s actually a second crack at the Long Ball sandal, which was created by Mike Aveni for big wave rider Laird Hamilton to train in. With a crazy ‘waffle’ sole lashed to a running upper and cement-free ‘Considered’ thinking employed in the construction, the TERRA is a water-friendly trail shoe that’s lightweight and outrageous in popping vintage colors. We were digging on the lilac/gold/pink colorway and realised it reminded us of some vintage rarities.

There’s also a matching sister shoe known as the Pocket Knife which appears to have some similarities with the old Footscape in terms of side-lacing. That flap, in case you’re wondering, is for keeping debris out of your laces! We’re tipping ‘em as future obscurists classics – can you dig it?
