This re-release Protro of the Kobe 8 maintains the same look of the beloved original on the outside, but updates the tech found on the inside for the modern basketball player. This colorway taps into the heartbeat of Venice Beach, where athletes, artists, and dreamers converge. The sneaker's design showcases a blend of textures and hues that mirror the beach's energy, from the sunlit sands to the azure sky. The artistic strokes of red, yellow, and blue across the upper reflect the eclectic tapestry of the neighborhood, while the signature Nike Swoosh in a striking yellow captures the attention just like the gleaming California sun.
