Probably his model that most needs the protro treatment. Those lunar pairs were awful. I’ll take zoom please.

RIP Kobe line.
Stick a fork in it aside from a quick cash grab here and there. Nike could careless about his legacy or line, theyve got Jordans and lebrons for the masses to buy.

I prefer these protro thick tongues than OG thin tongues

Old one was paper thin and when you laced up you could easily feel the pressure from the laces.

Didn't even notice that change. That's a good change IMO. Hope we get some OG colorways with the new tongue.

Those are way better than what the OG had
but this first color way sucks
Not like I had a chance anyways

Thats a great change. That and the lunar bottoming out quick were the only negatives about the shoe.

If it's a protro, it makes sense
Hopefully they don't make noise when you walk now.
besides the play portion.
I have the Jordan 27 and I used to take out their insoles and put them in my Kobe 8's. They came with alternate zoom and air insoles.

Love the OG tongues. They’re so unique and one of the reasons why the 8s are the best low top bball shoes imo

I’m really surprised so many are ok with the change. I remember some saying it was uncomfortable back in the day though. I wanted to compare the change to a OG Jordan receiving similar treatment, but can’t really being that most like the Kobe’s for performance and retro Jordan’s are mostly for casual wear.

Didn’t notice the stitched swoosh. Pretty cool. Something different. They do look good
