First released in 2006, the Nike Kobe sneaker line has become one of the Swoosh brand's most popular and iconic collections. The Kobe sneakers are known for their sleek design, lightweight construction, and high performance on the court. Each Kobe sneaker model has its own unique features and design elements, but they all share the same commitment to innovation and excellence that Kobe Bryant embodied throughout his career.

All the loyal Kobe fans and sneakerheads have kept the demand for these sneaker models quite high. Thus, to keep up with the demands, Nike is going to release a wide range of Kobe sneakers in 2023 as well as 2024. Here is a list of some of the best upcoming Nike Kobe sneaker releases.


Nike Kobe 4 Protro and four other Kobe pairs featuring attractive color schemes are to be launched soon

1) Kobe 8 Protro White

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro is set to return this fall in "Triple White." Bryant wore the shoes for the first quarter of the 2011–2012 season, and they last appeared in the special 2016 "Fade to Black" pack. The upcoming Kobe pairs have a soccer-inspired appearance and are very light and low-cut.

The pairs are made of innovative mesh uppers along with pebbled leather overlays, featuring embroidered logo details on the laterals and tongue. Braille-detailed designs are carved on the rear of the Zoom Air midsoles. Finally, a gloss-white wedge at the midfoot, accompanied by hardwood-designed traction outsoles, completes the appearance.

The pair will be released on August 24, 2023, with a price tag of $180.


2) Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch

The Nike Kobe 6's original green "Grinch" colorway debuted on December 26, 2011, as a part of Nike's annual "Christmas Pack." The new shoe features a bright red base on the scaly-designed TPU exterior, outsole, and tongue, with Electric Green accents on the lacing system and Kobe's raising sheath symbol on the heel and tongue.

The "Reverse Grinch" will be released on December 16, 2023, with a price tag of $180. These are probably one of the best Nike Basketball shoe sequels in history.
