The Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Wolf Grey' is built with grey engineered mesh, featuring a padded low-cut collar and an external TPU heel counter. Branding elements include a white embroidered Swoosh and Kobe Bryant's sheath logo on the tongue and back heel. The cushioning setup takes the form of a drop-in React foam midsole, an update from the Lunarlon midsole of the original Kobe 8. Underfoot, the herringbone-traction rubber outsole reveals a bottom-loaded carbon fiber shank plate.
