The Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'University Red' comes with a mesh upper in the striking, eponymous University Red, paired with white accents on the Swoosh logos and Kobe branding. Red highlights on the tongue, laces, inner lining and padded React midsole complete the look seamlessly. The shoe also features Nike React foam for added responsiveness and durability. The traditional herringbone traction has a diamond-inspired pattern that provides grip for quick cuts, pivots and rim attacks.
