In 2022, Nike and Kobe Bryant's estate signed a new deal so that we can welcome many more Kobe models in the future. According to rumours, the Kobe 8 Protro "Court Purple" & "Radiant Emerald" will arrive in spring 2024.

Both models are largely white. The only purple and emerald elements we see are on the Swoosh, the laces, the logo on the tongue, the lining and the outsole. Kobe's logo is of course on the tongue and also slightly smaller on the outsole. The materials used are mesh, synthetic overlays and leather.

We can assume that both Kobe 8 Protro will be released in spring 2024.
