You ugh have pics? I love sneaker porn
NIKE Kobe VIII PROTRO - 2023
- Thread in 'Nike Retro' Thread starter Started by Bert.,
- Start date
I had two pairs of barcelonas, two of the grey and purple snake one, and one yellow sulfur back in the day. Played in them until they fell apart pretty much! I always wanted the blue colorway but never was able to get them.
I’m wondering if the 8s will be true to size or half size up like the 5 and 6 protro were for me.
Man my early IG posts were basically just pictures of me in Kobe’s lol. This was before you could post videos.

i forgot about Mambacurial Kobe 8s until you mentioned them. Those have eluded me for so long and the Mambacurial Kobe 10 didn’t quite satiate that thirst. Man, it’s insane how crazy the Kobe 8s went. Good times for sure.

We faded to black as he was on the road to retirement.
Is that a remembrance (called MambMemorial)? RIP 8/24.

Looking good, little more padding (softer?) around collar and tongue. Also the stitched swoosh is fire.
Def in for a pair.

Stitched swoosh and upgraded tongue are a nice touch.

I wonder if the all-white colorway is perhaps an angelic tribute colorway. My wishful thinking is that Vanessa posts these on her IG saying that she'd want these all-white Kobes to be as available, abundant and as classic as the all-white AF1s. Realistically, I don't think that'd happen, but one can only imagine...

I used to go half size up in 8 because I went by the 7. It worked for most pairs. I got a Mamabacurial UK 11 from Europe and my foot was swimming.
Man the 7 was completely unwearable for me. The inner lining and plastic parts on the outside just destroyed my feet. Hot spots and blisters for days.

I think 8s are way more tts than Kobe’s other popular sigs.

These look like team colorways. If they REALLY are trying to make these really available, then that's great.

Would greatly appreciate making these more available. Love the 8s, 9s and 5s. One day would like to get a pair of 4s and 6s.

Other than the tongue and stitched swoosh, what is protro about these? They seem to have the same drop-in insole/cushioning from the og's.

The drop-in midsole foam is upgraded to React.
