Kobe 8 Protro 'College Navy'

Description:

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro “College Navy” pays tribute to Kobe Bryant’s legacy while updating the classic low-profile silhouette for modern performance. Released as part of Nike’s Fall 2024 collection alongside the “Wolf Grey” and “University Red” colorways, this edition features a refined College Navy and white color scheme inspired by collegiate aesthetics.

The upper is constructed from lightweight engineered mesh in deep College Navy, offering breathability, flexibility, and durability for on-court performance. Its streamlined build keeps the shoe close to the foot, supporting quick, precise movements while maintaining a minimal, responsive feel.

Performance features include a responsive React foam midsole for cushioning and energy return, along with a grippy herringbone traction pattern on the outsole for reliable court grip. White accents appear throughout the design, including the embroidered Swoosh, outsole, and Kobe’s signature details such as the sword-in-a-sheath logo on the tongue and heel, adding contrast to the dark base.

Reinforced eyelets improve lockdown and fit security, enhancing stability during intense play. The Nike Kobe 8 Protro “College Navy” released on September 6, 2024, with a retail price of $190.
