Nike Kobe 8 Protro College Navy

Nike Kobe 8 Protro "College Navy" (HF9550-400) — Fall 2024

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro "College Navy" is part of the Kobe 8 "Team Edition" series, released in Fall 2024 alongside the "Wolf Grey" and "University Red" colorways. The Team Edition lineup is built around a streamlined two-to-three-color palette designed to complement team uniforms, making this one of the more versatile drops in the Kobe 8 Protro collection.

The upper is constructed from a lightweight engineered mesh in College Navy, with White appearing on the Swoosh, Kobe branding, and Bryant's signature at the heel. College Navy carries through to the tongue, laces, inner lining, and heel counter for a cohesive, head-to-toe look. Underfoot, Nike React foam delivers responsive cushioning, while a Black shank plate and a herringbone-patterned White rubber outsole round out the performance build.

The Protro (short for "progressive original") treatment keeps the low-cut Kobe 8 silhouette faithful to its 2013 roots while incorporating updated materials and cushioning technology, maintaining the shoe's reputation as one of the lightest and most court-ready Kobe signatures ever made.
