Nike’s Kobe 8 Protro Halo just dropped is now available at Nike.com, while supplies last at SNKRS.

The triple-white colorway pays homage to basketball legend, Kobe Bryant. The shoes run $180. For more information, check out Nike.com.

Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa Bryant, who partnered with Nike Basketball, imagined and created the Halo shoe concept and launch as a way to honor Bryant’s birthday each year. The Halo concept will be an annual release that will honor and celebrate this special date.

According to @DailySNKRSStock, only 47,249 pairs of the Nike Kobe 8 Protro ‘Halo’ have been produced.

The Kobe 8 Protro has the same iconic look but features new updates in design and performance innovation. One of the more noticeable design updates include the embroidered Swoosh on the upper, paired with an embroidered Mamba logo on the tongue. In a key innovation update, designers replaced the Lunarlon midsole with Nike React foam, for comfort and responsiveness and to help create a durable design overall. The team also updated the herringbone traction pattern for strong grip and performance.

The new Nike Kobe 8 Protro Halo released Wednesday, the same day as Kobe Bryant’s birthday.
