The Kobe 8 Protro 'Mambacurial' brings back the 2013 colorway that borrowed its look from the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX soccer boot. The upper fades from Red Plum at the heel to Pink Flash at the toe, with Electric Green on the tongue, Swoosh and outsole. It pairs a light, low-cut build with an engineered mesh upper and a Nike React foam insert for responsive cushioning. It suits guards and wings who want a fast, low-to-the-floor shoe, and Kobe collectors who remember the original. Against most modern signature guards' shoes it trades maximum cushioning and support for lightness and court feel.

Owners of the Kobe 8 line praise the light, close-to-the-floor feel and the React insert's responsiveness, and fans of the original Mambacurial colorway are glad it returned. Critics say the cushioning is thin for bigger players and the low cut gives little ankle support.
The Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial" is a men's basketball shoe from Nike. The Kobe 8 was first released in 2013, and this Protro version brings it back. The design takes cues from the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX soccer boot.
The upper fades from Red Plum at the heel to Pink Flash at the toe. Electric Green accents mark the tongue, the Swoosh and the outsole. "Mambacurial" is printed on the inner tongue.
The upper combines synthetic leather with textile and engineered mesh. The mesh is soft and pliable and conforms to the shape of the foot. A Nike React foam insert in the midsole provides responsive cushioning. The rubber outsole grips the court for quick cuts and acceleration. The shoe has a low-cut collar.
