UPDATE (2/2): Nike has announced that the Nike Kobe 8 Protro Radiant Emerald (Aqua) is set to release on February 8th via SNKRS for the retail price of $190. This edition draws inspiration from Kobe’s “off-season flow.” This is what Nike had to say about this Kobe release:
“Kobe is the only player in NBA history to have two retired jerseys on the same team. He got there via unending focus on the game, and the Kobe 8 Protro “Aqua” is inspired by his off-season flow. Numbers 8, 24, and 2—the jerseys worn by Kobe and his daughter Gianna—repeat boldly in Radiant Green across the White mesh upper. The arched midfoot plate brings added support and stability, making the Kobe 8 Protro a mainstay at all levels of play. The design is finished off with an embroidered Swoosh, Kobe’s signature, and his iconic “Sheath” logo (all in Radiant Green) to honor his legendary mindset and continuing legacy.”
