The Nike Kobe 8 Protro Lakers Away, released in April 2024, is a refined homage to Kobe Bryant and the legendary Los Angeles Lakers. Featuring a black engineered mesh upper with seamless overlays, this sneaker balances sleek style with high performance. The tonal gold Swoosh paired with iconic Lakers purple and gold accents adds cultural depth and team spirit to its design.

This Protro model integrates Nike’s React foam technology for enhanced cushioning and lightweight agility. It also includes a durable herringbone rubber outsole for grip and stability, supported by a carbon fiber shank plate, ideal for explosive court movements.

More than a sneaker, it is a curated artifact that elevates the basketball heritage and honors Bryant’s competitive legacy. It offers wearers exceptional performance embedded with a piece of preserved history.

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.
