Kobe 8 Lakers Home
Lakers Home Protro as the polar opposite of the Away shoe, take son the day and night team in a dominantly white colorway. This version of the Kobe 8 Protro uses the Lakers’ traditional colors and design elements to honor Bryant’s time with the team. The sneaker features a white base, representative of the Lakers’ home jerseys, with purple and gold highlights adorning the heels and Swooshes. On the sides, the purple Swoosh pairs perfectly with the gold Kobe logo on the tongue, bringing the Lakers spirit with Bryant’s sentiment. Designed for high performance, this sneaker incorporates a lightweight construction and responsive cushioning, ensuring it not only commemorates Bryant’s contributions but also enhances on-court action. Downside for us the, the delicate white, the sneaker wile striking is sure to become challenging in trying to maintain the crisp white appearance given the material itself. Starting price of $180.
