Nike’s New Kobe Bryant Signature Kicks Finally Have A Release Date

Shortly after Kobe Bryant’s tragic death on January 26, Nike temporarily removed all Kobe merchandise from Nike.com, while a search for ‘Kobe’ or ‘Kobes’ on the website directed you to an in Memory page, that Nike set up.

Now, the release dates of the new Kobe Bryant signature sneakers were leaked on Eastbay’s shoe release calendar. Starting August 23 until August 29, Nike is releasing five pairs of Kobe Protro 5s as well as a Kobe “8/24” Lakers jersey.

These are must buys! I can’t wait!

Nike celebrates Kobe’s legacy through a collection that spans memorable colorways of the Kobe V Protro, in addition to a limited-edition jersey that will be available starting 8.23. Protro colorways include Big Stage, 5x Champ, @UNDEFEATEDinc What If Pack and Girls EYBL. pic.twitter.com/WPfQBkTVrb
