Step back onto the court with a re-energized classic. The Nike Kobe 8 Protro University Red fuses Kobe Bryant’s signature silhouette with modern performance tech, delivering a responsive, lightweight ride that looks as bold as your moves.

Colorway and design details

Varsity-inspired confidence meets on-court speed in a striking University Red and white palette. The upper uses ultra-lightweight engineered mesh for breathability where you need it most, keeping your feet cool during fast breaks and tight guards. Red accents ripple through the midsole, laces, collar, tongue, and insole, while crisp white embroidery highlights the Swoosh logos, Bryant’s geometric sword emblem on the tongue and heel, and the signature mark that fans recognize.

Performance you can feel

  • Responsive ride: A midsole equipped with React foam delivers a springy, energy-returning feel on every drive and stop.
  • Grippy traction: The white rubber outsole features a durable herringbone pattern for reliable control on both indoor courts and quick pivots.
  • Secure fit: Generous padding around the collar protects the ankle and enhances comfort during long sessions or intense games.

Why this Protro version stands out

True to Nike’s Protro philosophy, this model preserves the heritage of Kobe’s eighth signature while refining the cushioning and materials to modern court needs. You benefit from a lighter, more responsive feel without sacrificing the legendary support you expect from the Kobe line. The combination of a breathable upper, a cushioned yet responsive midsole, and a trusted traction system creates a well-rounded performance shoe that adapts from pick-and-rolls to fourth-quarter sprints.

Who it's for

  • Guard players who rely on quick cuts, lateral slides, and explosive first steps.
  • Wing players seeking a lightweight, responsive shoe that won’t weigh down fast, multi-directional play.
  • Basketball enthusiasts who appreciate a bold, vintage-inspired look with contemporary tech.

How it compares to your current lineup

My new favorite sunglasses! Love the design and shape of these, they’re high quality and well made. Easily and securely fit my small framed face well and look so good on. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments and plan to purchase a second pair for my daughter who also loves them!

beautiful color and style
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters, Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These are really beautiful sunglasses, with a thick, sturdy green frame and gorgeous emerald green crystal accents at the temples. The hinge is set inside the crystal, so when you fold the glasses, the crystal splits into two parts. It's a neat feature and really unique. The lenses are green but lightly mirrored. I love the style and color of these glasses, as they are definitely unusual and people will notice them. They are, unfortunately, a little tight on my head. I am going to take them to my optician and see if they can be adjusted. I also believe these may have been tried on or used and returned, as the lenses are both smudged like someone handled them with dirty hands. The glasses do not seem to be damaged, but I would have expected a pristine pair at this price point. They come with paperwork and a lens cloth, along with a case for carrying and storage. Paperwork says they are made by Luxottica, which is a high-end, luxury eyewear company in Milan, Italy, that owns or licenses many popular luxury eyewear brands. They are lovely glasses with very good quality, a fun upscale look, and tons of style. I like them a lot and expect many compliments on this eye-catching pair!

Super cute
Color: Pink/Pink Mirrored Pink, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These are super cute and really love them except they are a tad too heavy I think for glasses. Made very well with quality materials, I found no cosmetic imperfections on the glasses. The overall look and stye of these are great and I really do love them I just can't wear them for too long due to the weight it becomes irritating.

Very cute, but the colors are a bit limited!!
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These oval oval sunglasses are super cute ,They will look great on any shape of face. Green is one of my favorite colors, but green is also a great test of matching skills! The lenses of Swarovski sunglasses are coated with a 100% UV protective coating to protect your eyes from UV rays!
