Vanessa Bryant revealed yet another exclusive pair of Nike Kobe footwear, although these don’t appear to be attached to Valentine’s Day holiday like her previous Nike Kobe 4 and Kobe 8 “Wifey” pairs do.
Instead, this Leopard-printed pair makes a connection with the Fall fashion season as the Black Mamba’s widow mentions Autumn/Winter 2023-2024 in her caption. Animal patterns may be a year-round thing around some parts, but in this particular color scheme and velvety materials, this Kobe 8 is definitely meant for the third quarter of the year. Unfortunately for Kobe fans, these are a PE, meaning a release to the public will likely not occur.
However, there are plenty of Protro 8s dropping in 2024, and quite soon. The Kobe 8 “Court Purple” is set to arrive on February 8th in full family sizes, while the Kobe 8 “Radiant Emerald” lands on the same day in just adult sizes. Need something more on the throwback end? The Kobe 8 “Mambacita” is arriving later this summmer.
