People will be able to buy another pair of famous Kobe Bryant shoes from Nike for the first time since 2013. In 2024, Nike will re-release the Nike Kobe 8 in its famous “Venice Beach” colorway, at the same time as their other future Protro releases. The re-release of these has been talked about for months, and now we have an official look at it. Our Sneakers news page has more breaking news and information about new shoes that are coming out soon.

When it came out in 2013, the Nike Kobe 8 was the eighth shoe in Kobe’s line. Bryant finished that season with an average of 27.3 points, 6.0 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. He was trying to get picked for his fifteenth All-Star game. With its stylish shape and bright colors, the Kobe 8 was a big draw. Just like they did with the last one, Nike will stick to the original specs for this one.

The Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach,” which was next to the Staples Center at the time, is named after the beach and town of Venice. The blue TPU plate and midsole of the shoe, which both have Bryant’s name on them, make the ocean views even better. The uppers of the shoes are made to look like the graffiti that runs the famous promenade, and the bright tie-dye colors really capture the feel of the area. This shoe is great for summer because it has a California orange inner liner.

All in all, it’s cool to see this design come out, and these should sell out quickly like the other ones. Supporters are thrilled to have another chance to buy these items at full price, since they have already sold for more than $500 on the secondary market.

People who want to buy these can plan to pay $180 on April 13, 2024. Like with previous Nike Kobe drops, the Nike SNKRS app should let you get the whole men’s size range. Set your alarm, because this is a chance you shouldn’t miss.
