The Nike Kobe 8 University Red is a grade-school version of a highly engineered trainer. It's a clean-looking shoe made for comfort and support. One of the highlights of this line is its durability and ability to withstand all the rough and tumble kids put them through. These Nike sneakers have a solid Fire Truck Red colorway, with a white Swoosh and sole. The upper mesh material is designed to mold to the foot. The inner sole contains Nike React foam for soft cushioning. The high-grip sole uses the traditional herringbone pattern, which helps prevent slipping while running around. We really love the vibrance and simplicity of these sneakers. The advanced tech and supportive construction are big plus points in a grade school-size shoe. Kobe's signature on the heel gives it a collectible edge, too. The Nike Kobe 8 University Red was released on September 6, 2024, for $120.
