What Nike says
Nike says the colorway first released in 2013 and describes the upper as covered in artwork that depicts a fireworks display. According to the listing, the Protro build is low and light, uses a Nike React foam insert, and pairs a soft synthetic upper with grippy traction for quick cuts.
Sizes and price
Nike's upcoming launches list shows both a basketball shoe listing and a Big Kids' Kobe 8 listing for November 11, which matches the two prices on the product page. If you need help picking between C, Y and men's sizes, see our kids' sizing guide.
