Nike Kobe Releases

The Nike Kobe line began in 2005 when Kobe Bryant partnered with Nike. The Kobe 4 (2008) revolutionized basketball footwear with its low-cut design, proving high-tops weren't necessary for ankle support. The Protro series, launched in 2018, updates classic Kobe models with modern React or Zoom cushioning technology while maintaining original aesthetics. Models like the Kobe 4, 5, 6, and 8 Protro remain favorites among NBA players and sneaker collectors.
