One of Kobe Bryant’s most popular silhouettes, the Kobe 8, will be making its return in Protro form during Summer/Fall 2023. One of the first pairs to release will be the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Triple White” colorway in celebration of Kobe Day, 8/24.

Designed by Eric Avar and was debuted for 2012-2013 season. Much like the Kobe 7, the Kobe 8 also debuted in a “System” version. It was the shoe he wore when he tore his Achilles and walked to the free-throw line to hit two clutch free throws on one leg.

Dressed in an all-White color blocking. This offering of the Nike Kobe 8 Protro comes constructed with an engineered mesh upper, no-sew synthetic overlays and pebble-grain leather around the collar and heels. Other details includes embroidered Swooshes and Kobe logos on the tongues with a plastic heel counter for stability and Black midfoot shank plate. A full-length Lunarlon midsole and Zoom Air cushioning completes the design. The shoes will also be available in mens, grade school, and preschool sizing.
