In addition to the Nike Kobe 8 Protro Radiant Emerald, another new colorway of the model that’s set to drop in 2024 is the Nike Kobe 8 Protro Court Purple.

This new colorway of the Nike Kobe 8 Protro will come dressed in a two-tone White and Court Purple color scheme. The sneaker starts off with a White engineered mesh upper that is then paired with Court Purple accents. These accents take care of the Swoosh logos, laces, Kobe’s signature on the White TPU heel counter and most notably on Kobe’s jersey numbers, “8” and “24,” and “2”—the jersey worn by his daughter Giannafound throughout the upper. Completing the look is a White midsole with full-length Lunarlon and Zoom Air cushioning atop a semi-translucent purple outsole.

Retailing for $190, look for these to release on February 8th at select retailers and Nike SNKRS. The shoes will also be available in grade school and preschool versions at $120 and $90, respectively.

UPDATE (2/2): Nike has announced that the Nike Kobe 8 Protro Court Purple will release exclusively through SNKRS for the retail price of $190. This edition draws inspiration from Kobe’s “in-season flow” with a color scheme reminiscent of the Lakers’ team colors. This is what Nike has 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 “Court Purple” is inspired by his in-season flow. Numbers 8, 24, and 2—the jerseys worn by Kobe and his daughter Gianna—repeat boldly in Court Purple 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 Court Purple) to honor his legendary mindset and continuing legacy.”
