Seems like Duke and Oregon PE Kobe 8s do not have the protro stitched Nike check and the padded tongue.
Wonder why they did it like that.

Speculating here..

Perhaps the halos were unique to those things and the regular protros will not have the padded tongue.

I hope I'm wrong because the paper thin tongue caused issues for me personally.

That’s what I’m thinking. Probably varies like how some og 8s had the 3m swoosh, others had the plastic swoosh like Xmas, and others had the scaly swoosh like Supernaturals. Some lebron 20s have knit and others have suede.

The purps and Emeralds have the padded tongue. So maybe it's the special ones
 
So they don’t have a “new” Kobe shoe while they’re retroing these old shoes? Or is the idea slight adjustments like React, etc?
