"Black, "University Gold," and "Court Purple" Come to the Nike Kobe 8 Protro

The Nike Kobe 8 is set to receive a new iteration that continues to celebrate the enduring legacy of Kobe Bryant and his association with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The latest colorway, "Black/University Gold/Court Purple," is yet another testament to the deep-rooted connection between the Nike Kobe lineage and the Lakers, further enriching the collection with a palette that echoes the spirit of the team and its iconic player.

Central to this homage is the “University Gold” Swoosh and Kobe's signature emblazoned on the heel cap, elements that immediately evoke the Lakers' vibrant identity. Purple accents, synonymous with Lakers' heritage, make a subtle yet impactful appearance along the spine and are prominently featured on the triangular KB branding at the rear. This strategic use of color pays tribute to the Lakers and adds depth and contrast to the sneaker's overall design, making it a standout piece in any collection.

The Nike Kobe 8 “Black/University Gold/Court Purple” is slated for a fall release, with a retail price of $190.
