Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
With the reboot of the Kobe brand, Nike can be regarded as bringing back the Kobe 8 this year, and it is presented as a protro.
To say that this protro is also love-hate, in essence, it does enhance the wearing experience, but some small details are not faithful to the first year, and it is indeed a bit "forced to die obsessive-compulsive disorder".
For example, the redesigned thick tongue has a little less sense of technology than the original year, making the whole shoe look more casual.
This inevitably makes players worry about whether the Kobe 8 will be reproduced in the future with all thick tongue specifications
Finally, with the 2024 reproduction of the Kobe 8 Protro "Venice Beach"**, all worries have disappeared!
The following are 2024 replicas
In terms of appearance, it is almost indistinguishable from the original version, and the color pattern of the upper is still recognizable today.
The most important thing is that the classic thin tongue of the first year is finally back in front of everyone!I can only sigh: "The taste is right!".”
Of course, the inset midsole is still the same as the other Protro colorways, replacing it with Nike React foam from the original Lunarlon technology.
Overall, that's what Kobe 8 should look like in the memories of countless veteran players.
It is reported that the all-new Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Venice Beach" will debut on April 13, 2024.
