Kobe VIII Protro "Siempre Mio"

This exceptionally light, low-cut design (the same one that propelled Kobe through the 2011-12 season) is refreshed with a triple-white colorway and a Nike React foam insert. Finishing in true Protro fashion, elevated embroidery and Kobe’s “Sheath” logo on the midsole brings the Mamba Mentality to every step. The herringbone pattern at the forefoot and heel gives you optimal traction for hard moves and cuts. It’s located where your foot is normally planted, giving you a secure grip. Diamond-esque shapes run along the edge of the outsole into the heel. At the ball of the foot is a small pivot circle. Nike React technology is a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a smooth, responsive ride. Molded plastic in the heel offers a secure fit. We padded the tongue in the center, so you can tighten your laces without feeling pinched.
