Last year, with the relaunch of Nike Kobe boots, Vanessa also officially announced a number of NCAA basketball varsity teams sponsored by the Kobe series.
Recently, LSU (Louisiana State University), a prestigious school on this list, received a batch of exclusive Kobe 8 Protro PE, which contains a total of three pairs.
These triple-doubles correspond to the team's three jerseys, and interestingly, the LSU team color is also purple with yellow, which coincides with the Lakers.
Therefore, although the shoes are college PE, they have a strong Laker flavor, which is not contrary to the harmony.
According to the picture, this wave of PE uses a thin tongue setting, which is more OG.
Of course, it's definitely not going to be available as a PE, but this year there will be a series of Kobe 8 Protro team colorways, including the Lakers colorway, and you can expect a wave.
