Kobe Bryant’s Nike Kobe 8 Protro To Return Next Year

Kobe Bryant is one of the best players ever. Overall, he is considered to be a top-three talent in the history of the game, and he definitely deserves the designation. He captured an entire generation, and besides Michael Jordan, he was the most competitive player ever.

Unfortunately, Kobe’s passing in 2020 left many fans in shock and in mourning. Subsequently, fans rushed to their local store to buy Kobe sneakers that they could remember him by. After losing their Kobe deal last year, Nike is back with the Bryant estate, and they plan on bringing back his shoes in a big way next year.
