Kobe Bryant's newest sneaker, the Protro 8, drops in two weeks on what would have been Mamba's 45th anniversary...and now we get to see the new Vanessa Bryant-designed Nike kick.
The footwear and apparel giant unveiled the "Halo" kicks on Thursday, just 24 hours after Vanessa teased fans with a silhouette of the sneakers on social media.
In fact, Vanessa allegedly helped design the sneakers to honor Kobe on his birthday...August 23.

For your information, the kicks are an updated edition of Kobe's eighth signature shoe, originally released in 2012. This is the second version of Kobe's line (the Kobe 4 Protro "Mamabacitas ' was released in May) since the family reconciled their relationship with the Swoosh last year.

Of course, the previous contract between Kobe and Nike expired in April 2021...after the parties were unable to reach a new long-term agreement. But, Vanessa and Nike executives have finally reached an agreement, and that's great news for the millions of Kobe fans.
