Nike Kobe 8 Protro Venice Beach

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro Venice Beach (2024) is inspired by the iconic Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice Beach. The sneaker's colorway, featuring gray, metallic silver and yellow, is as dynamic and eclectic as the lively waterfront and street artists of the famous neighborhood. The design pays homage to Kobe Bryant's connection to the city, capturing the essence of its sunny days and the creativity of its inhabitants.

This new Protro release of the Kobe 8 keeps the same exterior look as the original, but features updated technology on the inside to meet the demands of the modern basketball player. This colorway is inspired by the vibrant heart of Venice Beach, where athletes, artists and dreamers gather. The sneaker’s design features a blend of textures and tones that mirror the beach’s energy, from sun-drenched sands to blue skies. Red, yellow and blue colors on the upper are inspired by the neighborhood, while the signature Nike Swoosh in a striking yellow catches the eye just like the warm California sun.
