Nike is dropping a special pair of sneakers that connects two worlds — basketball and football — with the FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Team Gold.” This eye-catching release honors Kobe Bryant’s deep love for soccer and especially his admiration for FC Barcelona, the legendary Spanish football club.
The shoe stands out with its gold upper, inspired by FC Barcelona’s rich history and bold colors. Adding to the look are deep purple (Persian Violet) accents on the collar, laces, and sole, giving the sneaker a classy yet sporty vibe. A snakeskin texture appears on the upper, a clear nod to Kobe’s famous nickname, the “Black Mamba.”
On the back of the shoe, fans will notice a meaningful touch — Kobe’s “Mamba” logo replacing the usual branding, a tribute to his mindset of hard work and excellence. To make it even more special for football fans, the FC Barcelona club logo is proudly displayed on the heel, tying the partnership together.
The Kobe 4 Protro is loved for its lightweight feel, responsive cushioning, and strong support on the court. This version keeps all the performance features while adding a unique story, blending Kobe’s basketball legacy with his passion for global football.
