Kobe Bryant’s line of Nike sneakers have never been more diverse.
Three years into the resumption of the partnership with Bryant’s estate, Nike Kobe sneakers are now taking on several forms. Numerous original colorways are coming back as Protro sneakers with updated technology, and new colorways are also being made for several reasons, including to honor current players like Caitlin Clark and Jalen Brunson.
Away from performance, 2025 is also looking to be a quite prolific year of Air Force 1 Lows made to commemorate Bryant, as at least four new colorways are expected to release before the end of the year.
