The Nike Kobe 8 Protro ‘Radiant Emerald’ has an engineered mesh upper monogramed with the two jersey numbers Kobe Bryant wore through his NBA career. An embroidered teal Swoosh appears the side, while the Mamba’s sheath logo embellishes the tongue and Bryant's signature graces the heel counter. A drop-in React foam midsole makes every step soft and lightweight on and off the court. The herringbone-patterned rubber outsole reveals a visible carbon fiber shank plate to aid midfoot stability.
