Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Hollywood Nights" Lakers Away Kid's 1.5Y (Big Kids / Youth) Nike Shoes (Used)

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Lakers Away" (also known as "Hollywood Nights") is a high-performance basketball sneaker released on September 6, 2024. It is a modernized "Performance Retro" (Protro) version of the original 2012 model, updated with contemporary technology. Key Features & Design Aesthetic: The shoe features a sleek black engineered mesh upper, accented with a vibrant University Gold embroidered Swoosh and Court Purple details on the tongue and heel, including Kobe Bryant's signature sheath logo. Upper: Built with lightweight, breathable engineered mesh that is designed to wrap the foot for a secure, "sock-like" fit. Cushioning: Unlike the original's Lunarlon foam, this Protro version uses a drop-in Nike React foam midsole for enhanced responsiveness, comfort, and durability during play. Traction & Stability: It includes a rubber outsole with a traditional herringbone and diamond-inspired traction pattern for superior grip. A bottom-loaded carbon fiber shank plate is embedded in the midfoot to provide added stability and support. Fit Note: Many users and retailers suggest that this model runs small and recommend ordering a half-size up for the best fit.
