As fans eagerly await the release of the new Kobe 8 Protro colorways — Court Purple and Radiant Emerald — Vanessa Bryant continues to honor the legacy of her late husband, Kobe Bryant, by revealing exclusive Nike Kobe PEs. On Monday, Vanessa took to Instagram to share her Kobe 8 Protro Valentine’s Day PE dubbed “Wifey” and followed this up with a Nike Kobe 4 Protro Valentine’s PE on Tuesday. Now, hours after sharing this Kobe 4, a new Kobe 8 Protro PE has been revealed, and it’s as exotic as they come.
This exclusive Nike Kobe 8 Protro Leopard Print PE showcases a bold and adventurous design, reflecting Kobe's fearless approach on and off the court. The sneaker is adorned with a striking faux fur upper featuring a leopard print pattern, exuding a wild and dynamic aesthetic. The earthy tones of the print are elegantly contrasted with crisp white accents on the tongue and heel tab. Golden hues further embellish the sneaker, highlighting Kobe's logo on the tongue and heel, and his signature on the lateral heel. The iconic Nike Swoosh on the midfoot also gleams in gold, complementing the overall theme. Beneath the stylish upper lies a well-crafted Kobe 8 sole in white and cream, ensuring comfort and performance.
While this PE is not set for a public release, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro Leopard Print PE will remain a treasured item in Vanessa Bryant's collection, serving as a reminder of Kobe's lasting impact on the basketball and sneaker communities.
