Originally released in 2013, the Kobe 8 "Mambacurial" returns in Protro form. Taking its design cues from the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX soccer boot, this colorway features a gradient fade on the upper from Red Plum at the heel to Pink Flash at the toe. Electric Green accents highlight the tongue, Swoosh and outsole. "Mambacurial" on the inner tongue celebrates the fusion of the Kobe signature line and the design influence drawn from the beautiful game. This Protro model comes equipped with tech to help take your game to the next level. Low, sleek and exceptionally light, it includes a Nike React foam insert to help keep you fresh on the court. Engineered mesh on the upper is soft and pliable, wrapping your foot and conforming to its shape. Grippy traction gives you that squeaky court bite for quick cuts and acceleration. SKU: IO6253-500
