After the untimely passing of Kobe Bryant, securing his Nike sneakers became almost impossible. Thankfully, over time, Nike has upped production numbers and the number of colorways offered, with one of the most widely available drops to date taking place this September: The Nike Kobe 8 TB Pack. Offered in five different colorways, the sneakers will be available in various sizes, with some pairs coming in GS and PS sizing. Here is everything you need to know to buy the Nike Kobe 8 Protro TB Pack

The five colorways offered include Lakers Away, Lakers Home, University Red, Wolf Grey, and College Navy. The adult pairs will retail for $180, GS sizes for $120, and PS for $90.
