Nike Basketball has officially teased a brand-new Kobe model, giving fans their first glimpse of an unfinished project that Kobe Bryant began before his passing.

Unveiled through a Troy Murray art installation at the Mamba Invitational, the reveal features a never-before-seen outsole design, hinting at the next chapter of Kobe Brand. According to Nike Kobe Brand VP/GM Dan Sunwoo, the shoe is part of a series of concepts Kobe helped start that Nike is now committed to completing.

"Kobe started this project. We're committed to carrying it forward to the finish. We're working on launching the first unfinished project we started with Kobe."

Rather than creating something entirely new, Nike is bringing one of Kobe's unfinished visions to life, continuing his legacy through designs he helped shape.

Nike Officially Unveils the Kobe 10 Protro

Nike has officially introduced the Kobe 10 Protro, bringing Kobe Bryant's iconic 2015 signature shoe back with meaningful performance upgrades for today's game. The updated model features a redesigned engineered mesh upper for improved breathability and lockdown, Cushlon 3.0 foam paired with a full-length Zoom Strobel for enhanced responsiveness, and a reworked traction pattern developed using data from the Nike Sport Research Lab. Signature details like the carbon fiber forefoot wing and Kobe's hidden "Endure and Conquer" message remain intact.

The Kobe 10 Protro debuts in the 'Halo' colorway on August 23, 2026, with additional engineered mesh releases arriving throughout 2026. Nike also confirmed that Flyknit editions featuring ZoomX foam will launch in 2027, continuing the evolution of one of Kobe's most celebrated performance silhouettes.

The Nike Kobe 4 Protro "Draft Day" Pack transforms Kobe Bryant's 1996 NBA Draft story into a unique blind-box sneaker experience. Instead of focusing only on the Charlotte Hornets-inspired colorway, the collection features 14 different pairs representing every lottery team that passed on Kobe, plus a special Los Angeles Lakers edition honoring the franchise where his legacy was built.

Each of the first 13 colorways features a white wear-away upper that gradually reveals hidden team colors over time, symbolizing Kobe's journey from draft-night uncertainty to NBA greatness. Design details include stitched Swooshes, matching sockliners, and numbered lottery-ball graphics tied to the 1996 draft order. The final Lakers-inspired pair stands out with fully exposed purple and gold detailing, serving as the centerpiece of the collection.

Nike is expected to release the Kobe 4 Protro "Draft Day" Pack on June 26, 2026, shortly after the 2026 NBA Draft, with pairs retailing for $190 through a blind-box format where buyers won't know which colorway they receive until opening the package.
