Earlier this year, Nike<\/a><\/strong> announced that Kobe Bryant\u2019s estate agreed to continue its partnership with Nike<\/a>. Vanessa Bryant shared on Instagram<\/a> that fans will have access to Nike Kobe and Gigi products for years to come, with Nike donating 100% of net proceeds yearly to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation. First looks of a Nike Kobe 8 Protro<\/strong> have surfaced online, leaving fans to believe that the sneaker will return in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renewal of the Nike Kobe partnership began with the fan-favorite Kobe 6 Protro \u201cMambacita Sweet 16,\u201d<\/a> a sneaker dedicated to Kobe\u2019s daughter Gigi, who would have turned 16 in 2022. The Nike Kobe 8 Protro would be the first sneaker to release since then and restores yet another iconic Kobe signature model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nike Kobe 8<\/a> first launched in 2012 and released in exciting colorways such as the \u201cWhat the Kobe,\u201d \u201cPrelude,\u201d \u201cVenice Beach,\u201d \u201cMilk Snake,\u201d and \u201cChristmas.\u201d The initial comeback pair has a Black-on-Black build, seemingly fit for a “Black Mamba”<\/a> colorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro <\/strong>is rumored to return in Fall 2023. Updates can be found on our sneaker release dates<\/a> page. While we wait for more info, take a look at the Protro below and follow @NiceDrops<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
