While the supply of Kobe basketball shoes has been scarce in recent months, for one special week in August, Nike Basketball is taking a page out of Jalen Rose’s playbook and giving the people what they want. With Kobe’s birthday (23rd) and Mamba Day (duh) coming up back to back like the Lakers’ chips in ’09 and ’10, a beefed up Protro release of the fan-favorite Kobe VIII is sure to delight hoopers.
The all-new ‘Halo’ colorway is characterized by its pure white design and showcases an engineered mesh upper, synthetic overlays, and pebbled leather accents encircling the collar and heels. The shoe is adorned with embroidered Swooshes and Kobe logos on the tongues and boasts a robust plastic heel counter for stability alongside a Black midfoot shank plate. Enhancing comfort, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro ‘Halo’ features a full-length Lunarlon midsole coupled with Zoom Air cushioning.
The Nike Kobe Protro 8 ‘Halo’ releases at BSTN on Wednesday, August 23rd. For your chance to purchase a pair, make sure to enter the BSTN Raffle before Tuesday, August 22nd at 3 PM CET.
