Nike continues to celebrate the legacy of Kobe Byrant with the upcoming Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” release.
In addition to the rumors of the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “What The Kobe” releasing in 2025, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” will release next year as well.
At the beginning of the 2024 MLB season, Vanessa Bryant and Nike gifted players of the Los Angeles Dodgers a pair of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” colorway, a testament to Mamba’s legacy in Los Angeles as well as his support of the baseball team decades prior.
The pair featured a game royal blue hue on the Kobe 6‘s signature scaley upper. White details arrived on the laces, Kobe shield logo, Swoosh, midsole, and heel counter. Reed appears on the “8” placed on the heel, Bryant’s signature on the heel, and the stitching on the tongue, resembling the red stitching on a baseball. Blue lining and outsole tied the colorway together.

Although it was originally believed that the pair was a Friends & Family exclusive, the “Dodgers” Nike Kobe 6 Protro will release. However, it’s unclear if the retail version will be the same as what was gifted to Dodgers players.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” releases in Summer 2025 via SNKRS and select retailers.
