Nike Kobe 8 'What The' Returns on Mamba Day 2025

Nike is set to bring back the Kobe 8 'What The' on Mamba Day, April 13, 2025. This highly anticipated drop pays homage to Kobe Bryant’s legacy by blending different Kobe 8 colorways into a single mismatched design. The left shoe features shades of blue and purple, while the right leans toward green and red, creating a bold and eye-catching look.

Originally released in 2013, the 'What The' Kobe 8 was one of the most coveted colorways in the Kobe line, with resale prices soaring in the years following Bryant’s passing. This Protro version stays true to the original while incorporating modern updates for enhanced performance. The mismatched color scheme, reflective detailing, and semi-translucent outsoles make this release a must-have for Kobe fans and hoopers. 

Mark your calendars as the Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'What The' releases on April 13, 2025.
