Any day we see a new Kobe Bryant signature shoe release is good for the sneaker community. With its partnership renewed, the Swoosh and the Bryant estate have been committed to turning out new pairs like the Kobe 8 Protro "Radiant Emerald" and revisiting some classics. While the releases have been slow while they gear back up, they could be hitting stride very soon.
With a few drops lined up to close out 2023, we're seeing what the 2024 lineup could look like from the Kobe collection. News of a Kobe 8 Protro "Court Purple" is making waves in basketball and sneaker circles. Mock-ups are available now, but the description makes it sound fit for Bryant's LA Lakers third-color white uniforms. The use of white and court purple is all we know about the shoe now, so we'll have to wait and see what the future brings. We'll see this shoe around the time of NBA All-Star Weekend, as many popular basketball shoes have in the past.
We hope to see the Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Court Purple" release sometime in Spring 2023 with a price tag of $180. Expect to see the pair drop on the SNKRS App and possibly at other select retailers. Stay tuned for more updates, and follow us on Twitter and Instagram for all the latest on sneakers, streetwear, and collectibles.
