Kobe Bryant Kobe 8 Protro Basketball Shoes 'White'

The Kobe 8 Protro takes the original low-top tour de force and gives it a performance upgrade. Faithfully recreated with the same unforgettable look, this epitome of minimalist perfection is even more modernized to give you that smooth, speed-driven sensation and all-game cushion.

Soft Upper
When we originally released the Kobe 8 in December 2012, we used engineered mesh, a first in our history. We ran it back for the Kobe 8 Protro. It's soft and pliable, wrapping around your foot and conforming to its shape.
Cut and Move
Traditional herringbone traction at the forefoot and heel gives you squeaky court bite you can hear when making hard moves and cuts. It’s located where your foot is normally planted, giving you a secure grip. Diamond-esque shapes that resemble a snake's head run along the edge of the outsole into the heel. At the ball of the foot is a small pivot circle.
Smooth, Responsive Ride
Nike React technology is a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a smooth, responsive ride.
Molded plastic in the heel offers a secure fit.
Arched midfoot plate helps keep the shoe supportive and stable.
We padded the tongue in the center, so you can tighten your laces without feeling pinched or constrained.
