The Nike Kobe 8 Protro “What The” (2025) is a vibrant tribute to Kobe Bryant’s legacy, blending elements from nearly 30 past Kobe 8 colorways into a single, mismatched design. Released on April 13, 2025—Mamba Day—the sneaker features a red snakeskin print with a yellow Swoosh on the right shoe, and a blue snakeskin print with a crimson Swoosh on the left, both adorned with oversized reflective “NIKE” branding on the medial sides .
