Update January 25, 2024: Official photos have arrived of the upcoming Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Court Purple'. Check them out above and look out for the sneaker to drop on February 8, 2024 via SNKRS and at select retailers for $180.

News of Nike’s Kobe line revival sent waves through the sneakersphere earlier this year, and since then, the release info has been coming thick and fast. Hot off the back of news of the ‘Reverse Grinch’ and ‘Italian Camo’ pairs, Nike are readying the Kobe 8 Protro in ‘Court Purple’ for 2024, and this marks just one of the new colourways we can expect to see coming out of Kobe’s estate next year.

Boasting bright white and deep purple hues, the ‘Court Purple’ Kobe 8 Protro comes constructed from lightweight mesh and features an all-over ‘8’ and ‘24’ print that nods to Kobe’s legacy. The ‘Court Purple’ colour also highlights the branding hits, including the Swooshes and tongue tab branding, as well as Kobe’s signatures at each shoe’s heels. The titular hue also touches down on the sole unit, where semi-translucent outsoles take on a purple tint.

The Kobe 8 Protro ‘Court Purple’ is currently expected to land on February 8, 2024 where it’ll retail for $190. In the meantime, stay locked to Sneaker Freaker for all the latest news and releases.
