The Nike Kobe 8 Protro “What The” Returns: A Sneaker Statement Built on Legacy

In the world of sneakers and streetwear, few drops carry the weight and energy of a Kobe Protro release. And now, over a decade since its original debut, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “What The” is making its iconic return in Summer 2025—and it’s just as chaotic and legendary as we remember.

This reimagined Protro isn’t just a sneaker—it’s a tribute. Combining elements from nearly 30 different Kobe 8 colorways, this mismatched pair fuses performance and personality in a way only the Black Mamba could. The right shoe boasts an Electric Orange base with a bold Volt Swoosh, while the left flips the script with a Deep Night upper, oversized 3M “NIKE” branding, and an Electric Orange Swoosh. Semi-translucent outsoles complete the split look, making this one of the boldest Kobe silhouettes to date.

Whether you're lacing them up on the court or styling them with your favorite tech fleece, cargos, or oversized streetwear fits, the Kobe 8 Protro “What The” turns every step into a statement.

More than just a collector’s grail, this release keeps the spirit of Kobe Bryant alive through style, innovation, and the unwavering pursuit of greatness—Mamba Mentality in every detail.
