Nike Kobe 8 Protro University Red

With a bold University Red and white color palette, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro University Red breathes new life into Kobe Bryant’s eight signature basketball shoe with Nike.

Designed for performance on the basketball court, the University Red Nike Kobe 8 Protro boasts a breathable upper made of ultra-lightweight, engineered mesh in University Red. Additional University Red accents can be found on part of the midsole, the laces, the collar, the tongue, and the insole. Pops of crisp white add contrast to the embroidered Swoosh logos, Bryant’s geometric sword logo on the tongue and heel, part of the sole unit, and the athlete’s signature. The white, rubber outsole features a grippy herringbone traction pattern, while the midsole houses responsive React foam.

Our experts at StockX like the generous padding around the collar, which protects the ankle and adds comfort. The Nike Kobe 8 Protro University Red was released on September 6, 2024, and sold for $190.
