The Nike Kobe 8 is the latest pair from the Mamba line to get the Protro treatment, joining the Kobe 3 as the focus of the performance retro collection. Coming back from the 20-teens streetwear era when bright colors and graphic overlays ran the sneaker game, the Kobe 8 Protro is dropping in a pink Mercurial colorway this week, bright orange fireworks for the holidays, and next year, the return of a tri-color Easter pair.

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro Easter is rising from the archives in the same tri-color snakeskin mesh that first dropped in 2013, this time with Protro updates for modern performance. Originally released as part of an Easter collection with a KD 5 and a LeBron 10, but this year, it looks like the Kobe 8 will be the only one back for the holiday.
