We’ve seen a lot of Nike Kobe pairs in team colorways that Kobe never actually wore lately. After taking on his high school jersey colors on the Lower Merion Dunks and Air Forces, we’ve seen previews of a few Charlotte Hornets colorways and a whole pack of Kobe 4 Protros in a Draft Day Collection, decked out in thirteen team shades, one pair for every city that skipped on Bryant in the ‘96 draft.
As LeBron, Luka, and the Lakers get ready for a battle of the legends first-round playoff series against KD and the Houston Rockets, a new leak shows an upcoming Nike Kobe 4 Protro colorway that will have Lakers fans lining up.
The Nike Kobe 4 Protro Lakers has only been seen in one quick side profile image, but from what we can see, the entire base is covered in a golden Lakers yellow, while a purple Swoosh is surrounded by a border of white. On the outsole, a swirling mix of gold and purple brings the two-tone Lakers theme together into one.
The Nike Kobe 4 Protro Lakers will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $190. For all the latest Nike Kobe news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
