The Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Venice Beach” is the highly anticipated re-issue of the iconic 2013 colorway. Inspired by the vibrant graffiti art that adorns the famous Venice Beach boardwalk, this sneaker pays homage to one of Kobe Bryant‘s favorite leisure spots.
As reported by Matthew Kish, the Kobe 8 Protro “Venice Beach” will feature the original thin tongue, staying true to its roots. This sets it apart from the modern colorways like the Kobe 8 “University Red” and other team-based colors slated for Fall 2024, which will sport a new padded tongue.
The Kobe 8 Protro “Venice Beach” showcases a vibrant pattern of colors that captures the essence of the lively boardwalk, making it a standout piece in any collection.
Nike‘s decision to re-release this iconic colorway in the updated Protro build demonstrates their commitment to honoring Kobe Bryant’s legacy while keeping his sneakers relevant in today’s market. The Protro technology enhances the original design, offering improved performance and comfort for both on and off the court wear.
