Bryant's wife, Vanessa, partnered with Nike to create the Halo concept and launch as a way to honor her late husband's birthday each year. Nike says the Halo concept will become an annual release.
The Nike Kobe 8 was first released in 2012. The Protro "Halo" combines the original Kobe 8 look with new design and performance innovations.
The shoes will be available through SNKRS and at select global retailers. Adult sizes will go for $180, according to KicksOnFire.
