Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Year of the Horse”

100% AUTHENTIC (WILL SHIP BEFORE RELEASE DATE)

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Year of the Horse” is set to return in Spring 2026. First seen back in 2014 as part of the Nike Chinese Zodiac Collection, this loud and classic colorway has finally been chosen to get its long-awaited return. Equipped with updated Protro tech as well as symbolic details, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Year of the Horse” pays homage to Kobe Bryant’s memory as well as Lunar New Year festivities. 

Adorned in a Light Crimson upper, Bright Citron on the laces, and contrasting Swooshes, this sneaker is anything but understated. To complete the look, a translucent Vivid Blue outsole provides a nice pop of contrast on the underside. On the insole, the sneaker features a small hidden horse emblem on the tongue. A subtle yet symbolic nod to fans aware of Kobe’s connection to the zodiac.
