Nike Kobe 8 Protro Halo

White that hides nothing

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Halo" is entirely white, which is the most challenging finish for a sports shoe – there’s nowhere to hide a seam or a transition between materials. The upper is made of Engineered Mesh, lightweight and breathable, so the shoe breathes quite differently from leather retros. The "Sheath" logo on the tongue and the embroidered Kobe initials on the heel are the only elements that break up this monochrome look, which is why they stand out more than their size would suggest.

Why this shoe features full-length Zoom Air

Underfoot, a full-length Zoom Air unit works inside the rubber outsole. In practice, this means cushioning that responds instantly, as it was designed for sharp stops and changes of direction on the court. Off the court, this makes for a shoe that's great for long walks – lighter than it looks and noticeably more responsive than a classic sneaker on standard foam.

How to choose your size

A full range from 35.5 to 46 is available, including half sizes. The mesh upper conforms to the foot faster than leather, but it won't stretch in the same way, so there's no point in sizing up or hoping the shoe will break in. Measure your foot in centimeters and check the size chart – it's the easiest way to avoid having to send the package back.

How to wear them

A white shoe like this works best with a simple base: gray sweatpants, raw denim, a black jacket. Let the color do something else in the outfit, because here it's the pure form that wins.
