Details about exclusive Dodgers colorway sneakers to celebrate Kobe Bryant's last game
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro 'Dodgers' is the perfect way to pay homage to the late Kobe Bryant's last game anniversary. The blue-hued sneakers have a snakeskin graphic that covers the midsole and heel areas with perfect white detailing.
The heel features red extras with Bryant's jersey numbers and autograph, similar to the Dodgers outfits. The crimson stitching around the tongues, which resembles a baseball, adds the finishing touch.
According to Sports Illustrated, given that several Dodgers players have deals in place with other sneaker competitors, don't expect them to wear them to Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres.
The Dodgers-Padres game will start tonight at 9:10 p.m. ET.
