As a die-hard sneakerhead with over two decades of footwear fandom under my belt, I can confidently say that the return of the Nike Kobe line has been nothing short of exhilarating. The strategic rollout of these iconic silhouettes is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of basketball’s greatest icons.
The popular Nike Kobe series has made a comeback, providing an intriguing study on its reintroduction strategy. Instead of hastily restocking every model, Nike Basketball has chosen to approach it gradually, with the Nike Kobe 4, 6, and 8 Protro leading the way back into the limelight. Following this, the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro and Kobe 5 Protro have been released as subsequent designs, with the “Draft Day” colorway of the Kobe 5 Protro being re-introduced recently.
Instead of whispers preceding the unveiling of many Nike sneakers, the one-image sneak peek of next year’s Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Draft Day” was unexpected. The pair, originally released in 2010, tells the story of the Charlotte Hornets drafting Kobe Bryant through its use of the team’s white, blue, and purple colors across the shoe’s athletic structure. This early look suggests that Nike has stayed true to the original design, with the exception of the outsole now appearing to be a minty blue tone.
As I write this, Nike Basketball has yet to disclose any specifics about the comeback of the “Draft Day” color scheme for the Kobe 5 Protro sneaker. Keep an eye out for future announcements which may include images and release details. We anticipate that these shoes will become available sometime in 2025 through Nike SNKRS and various retailers, priced around their usual $190 USD.
