Step back onto the court with a re-energized classic. The Nike Kobe 8 Protro University Red fuses Kobe Bryant’s signature silhouette with modern performance tech, delivering a responsive, lightweight ride that looks as bold as your moves.

Colorway and design details

Varsity-inspired confidence meets on-court speed in a striking University Red and white palette. The upper uses ultra-lightweight engineered mesh for breathability where you need it most, keeping your feet cool during fast breaks and tight guards. Red accents ripple through the midsole, laces, collar, tongue, and insole, while crisp white embroidery highlights the Swoosh logos, Bryant’s geometric sword emblem on the tongue and heel, and the signature mark that fans recognize.

Performance you can feel

  • Responsive ride: A midsole equipped with React foam delivers a springy, energy-returning feel on every drive and stop.
  • Grippy traction: The white rubber outsole features a durable herringbone pattern for reliable control on both indoor courts and quick pivots.
  • Secure fit: Generous padding around the collar protects the ankle and enhances comfort during long sessions or intense games.

Why this Protro version stands out

True to Nike’s Protro philosophy, this model preserves the heritage of Kobe’s eighth signature while refining the cushioning and materials to modern court needs. You benefit from a lighter, more responsive feel without sacrificing the legendary support you expect from the Kobe line. The combination of a breathable upper, a cushioned yet responsive midsole, and a trusted traction system creates a well-rounded performance shoe that adapts from pick-and-rolls to fourth-quarter sprints.

Who it's for

  • Guard players who rely on quick cuts, lateral slides, and explosive first steps.
  • Wing players seeking a lightweight, responsive shoe that won’t weigh down fast, multi-directional play.
  • Basketball enthusiasts who appreciate a bold, vintage-inspired look with contemporary tech.

Not made from the most comfortable fabric
Color: White, Light Gray, Black, Size: Large
It is not the most comfortable fabric which makes it not suitable for summer clothing. Also, the fitting of the neck doesn’t look good since material is not wrinkle free

Excellent Mock Neck T-Shirts
Color: Wine Red, Navy Blue, Black, Size: Medium
 As a man who appreciates comfort and style, I can confidently say these August Alley mock neck t-shirts are a solid choice. I'm always looking for versatile basics, and these fit the bill perfectly. The cotton material feels great against the skin, and they've held their shape well after a few washes. I appreciate the slim fit; it looks modern without being too tight. Whether I'm wearing them casually or layering them under a jacket, they always look sharp. For the price, getting a 3-pack of these quality shirts is a fantastic deal. Highly recommend them for any guy looking to upgrade his basic tee collection.

One of the Best Watch for the Price
Color: Black/Gray
Second time purchase of this model. The strap on the first one broke after 5 years and the original battery is still in it. Just found out that you can purchase replacement swap from Timex direct or through retail stores like Walmart and Target. The replacement straps are about $12. I mentioned this because as other reviewer of this watch or similar mode, the major con is the strap seems to break after several years. The other con of this watch is that the “start/split” button which is used to change time zone is on the face of the watch of the watch. It is slightly raised, so it is easy to accidently change time zone when sleeping. This watch looks good, very rugged, have taken it out many times snorkeling and shows no indication of water leakage. The oversize display is easy to read. The indigo light makes the watch easy to read at night and the night feature when turn on, will auto-light the display when any button is pressed. I travel a lot and really like the three time zones. Another hidden feature not mentioned by others is the custom menu feature. You can selectively pick the features you want to use and reduce the number of features you have to cycle through. This is an excellent everyday watch, very rugged, and accurate. On the previous one, I didn’t have to reset the time at all during the 5 years of use. The number for Timex Support is: If you can't find your strap, you can also order one by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-888-727-2931. I also had the traditional size display before discovering the oversize mode. The oversize is a lot easier to read.

Works great, rugged, and worth the money!
Color: Black/Gray
Just purchased my second of this watch as a replacement. The first lasted about four years of abuse before the straps started to crumble. No battery or other issues. It had survived Afghanistan, numerous field exercises, mud, sweat, rain, wind, etc. and was well worth the $35 I spent on it. It is easy to adjust the time and has a handy 2nd time feature if you're between two time zones frequently or jut want to know the time back home. Everything else is what one would expect from the Ironman series. Lightweight, good backlight (indiglo), not obnoxiously large, rugged, good chrono/timers/alarms.
