The Nike Kobe 8 Protro is designed to help your little boys zoom across the playground like the rising stars they are. Featuring a super-soft engineered mesh upper (a first-of-its-kind innovation when it debuted back in 2012), these shoes wrap little feet in a flexible, cozy embrace that moves with every step. Taking cues from Kobe’s game-changing low-top lineup 4, 5, 6, and 7, these sneakers blend featherlight speed with play-ready comfort. And thanks to the padded tongue, your little ones can tug those laces tight without ever feeling pinched or squished—just pure bliss, all play, all day. Cute and packed with the spirit of one of basketball’s greatest, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro lets your little boys create their own legendary stories.

• Classic laces ensure a snug fit.

• Hard plastic in the heel offers a secure feel.
• Drop-in, thick, full-length foam in the midsole helps absorb impact.
