Nike Kobe 8 Protro Lakers Home

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro Lakers Home, released in September 2024, pays tribute to Kobe Bryant's legacy with a clean white and purple design inspired by the Lakers' home jersey. The upper features breathable engineered mesh complemented by University Gold accents on the tongue and heel, alongside a purple embroidered Swoosh. This Protro edition includes Nike React foam cushioning for lightweight comfort and a carbon fiber shank plate for support. The durable herringbone traction outsole completes the package to deliver excellent grip for dynamic play.

More than just a performance basketball shoe, it is a curated artifact reflecting Bryant’s spirit and the iconic LA Lakers colours, blending heritage with cutting-edge technology to honour both style and function.

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.
