In 2011, Kobe Bryant and Eric Koston joined forces for a limited edition Nike SB Kobe x Koston collaboration, featuring only 24 pairs. Fast forward to 2024, and there are hints of a revival in Kobe’s association with Nike SB. This revival may bring forth a re-release of the Nike Kobe Koston One or a skate-friendly version of a Kobe Protro sneaker, akin to the successful transformation of the Air Jordan 4 in 2023.
While the details remain scant, the collaboration might introduce skate-shoe elements, such as a drop-in sole, robust uppers, and a padded tongue, enhancing the performance of the beloved Kobe Protro series. There’s also speculation about a potential collaborative Kobe Bryant SB Dunk.
The Nike SB Dunk, introduced in 2002, marked a significant moment when Nike adapted the iconic Dunk basketball sneaker from the 1980s for the skateboarding community, adding upgrades for optimal performance.
As of now, no additional information has been disclosed. Keep an eye out for more updates on this upcoming Kobe Bryant x SB collaboration as it unfolds. Stay connected for the latest developments in this exciting partnership.
Release Date: 2024
