Nike Kobe 8 Protro Court Purple FQ3549-100

Get ready to dive into the Kobe legacy with the upcoming Nike Kobe 8 Protro! Say hello to the new Nike Kobe 8 Protro Court Purple.

Fade To Black To Protro Magic

The upcoming release is staging a comeback since it's fade to black days, originating in 2012 under the expert eye of designer Eric Avar, the Kobe 8 was a low-top marvel, offering a lightweight ride for agile court domination.

Now, Nike's turning up the game with Protro (Performance Retro) upgrades – a thicker tongue, a react drop-in midsole, and a heel Zoom Air unit for cushioning perfection while the iconic herringbone traction pattern and midfoot shank plate stay put.
