Nike Kobe 8 Protro Court Purple

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro Court Purple, released in February 2024, celebrates Kobe Bryant's unrivalled legacy with a sophisticated white and court purple colourway. The upper is crafted from breathable white engineered mesh, overlaid with boldly repeating jersey numbers 8, 24, and 2—honouring both Kobe and his daughter Gianna. The midfoot features an arched plate for enhanced support and stability while the lightweight React foam midsole offers responsive cushioning. The purple embroidered Swoosh, Kobe's signature, and the iconic "Sheath" logo complete the design, reflecting his legendary mindset and enduring influence.

This Protro combines cutting-edge basketball performance with a cultural tribute, making it a prized artifact for players and collectors alike.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
