Luckily, fans of Kobe Bryant’s signature sneaker line with Nike have had more opportunities to cop his sneakers at retail. The Swoosh has increased the production of colorways and made more colorways. Next year, we already know of plans for releases like the Kobe 6 Protro Dodgers, the Kobe 9 Elite Protro Masterpiece, and the Kobe 6 Protro Sail. However, we’ve just got word that alongside the already-revealed Nike Kobe 9 Elite High Protro What The, the Kobe 8 Protro What The is getting a retro release.
The colorway, identical to the pair from 2013, takes inspiration from nearly 30 different Nike Kobe 8 releases and takes on an asymmetrical design. Red snakeskin-inspired patterns cover the lateral side of the right shoe while an aqua blue takes over the left pair. Large 3M reflective Nike branding comes stamped on the left shoe's medial side, contrasting the silhouette's vibrant blue, red, and purple hues.
