Nike has cooked up another special edition colorway of the Kobe 8 Protro for its EYBL. Dubbed the Nike Basketball Academy Kobe edition, this player exclusive sports a light-colored theme throughout.
The Nike Kobe 8 Protro EYBL Crimson Tint PE is covered in crimson tint; black accents the branding throughout, seen on the Swoosh on the lateral and medial sides, signature on the heel cup, logo on the back heel, and EYBL Fam' Reunion embroidered on the medials. Translucent hits can also be seen via the mudguard before giving way to a guava ice-colored midsole with crimson tint paint splatter detailing. A full translucent outsole with crimson tint peeking out from underneath and the EYBL custom wax-like branding on the tongue complete the look.
The Nike Kobe 8 Protro EYBL Crimson Tint PE will remain exclusive to Nike's Elite Youth Basketball league as well as friends and family of Vanessa Bryant and the brand.
