Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Denim” Returns After Two Decades

August 28, 2025

Nike is set to honor Kobe Bryant’s legacy once again with the return of a classic sneaker: the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Denim.” First released as a rare player-exclusive back in 2006, this pair quickly became a dream shoe for Kobe fans. Now, almost 20 years later, Nike is bringing it back in an updated Protro version.

The “Denim” design stands out with its two-tone indigo denim upper, contrasted by bold orange stitching for a vintage, American-inspired look. To make it even more special, Kobe’s iconic Sheath logo is embroidered on the heel, tying the shoe directly to his legacy both on and off the court.

This release isn’t just about style—it’s also about performance. The Protro upgrade means Nike has blended the timeless look with modern comfort and technology, making it wearable for today’s generation while keeping its original charm intact.

Expected to release in Summer 2026, this sneaker is more than just footwear—it’s a piece of history and a way for fans to carry on the Mamba spirit.
