Along with the 47 points Kobe Bryant dropped last night in an important Lakers win vs. the Portland Trailblazers, he also debuted the all new Kobe 8 Elite.

Kobe took the court in the Black/Gold Kobe 8 Elite featuring Engineered Mesh, Dynamic Flywire and Carbon Fiber, and then proceeded to drop 47 on the Blazers while increasing the Lakers' chances of gaining the 8th playoff spot in the Western Conference.  Did his new shoes help?

Get a good look at the Kobe 8 Elite on court below, and let us know if you'll be trying to get a pair later this summer when they release on June 1st.
