Kobe VIII

2026 marks the Year of the Horse. This Kobe 8 Protro rings in the Lunar New Year with an ode to the animal that represents bravery, fortune and honor. The bright, celebratory upper features an engineered mesh upper that's pliable and molds to your foot for supreme comfort and containment. It evolves the original 2014 design with the addition of Nike React foam for added responsiveness and durability. Traditional herringbone traction has a diamond-inspired pattern that provides grip for full-speed cuts, pivots and rim attacks. Kobe's signature and logo let you honor the Mamba Mentality and Kobe's everlasting legacy. SKU: IM0594-600
