Nike Kobe 8 Protro "Court Purple"

This pair of shoes first caught my eye with its stylish design—really sharp. The ankle collar surprised me when I first put them on; it's unusually low, even lower than most shoes I've worn before. However, once I tightened the laces, the fit felt secure and comfortable, giving me a good sense of stability. What really impressed me was the arch support. I have mild flat feet, and these shoes provided just the right amount of support—not too much to feel uncomfortable, but enough to feel stable. The cushioning, wrapping, and overall support are excellent. The only minor issue is the side support, which feels a bit lacking when doing extreme lateral movements. Overall, these shoes are pretty much perfect.

This colorway is pretty nice. It leans more towards a trendy look than a performance-focused one. The fit feels even better than the 5th and 6th generations, and it works well for both men and women.
