This Nike Tee Matches the Kobe 6 "Dodgers" Protro

The world may never know the inner-workings of the relationship between Nike, Inc. and the Kobe Bryant Estate, but both parties have honored the Black Mamba's legacy in style over the last several years.

Inspired by the Chinese zodiacal calendar, the Swoosh institution has dubbed 2025 as Year of the Mamba, wishing all athletes to "have a hard year." Campaign aside, the partnership between both groups has been celebrated throughout the last five months thanks to a healthy mix of community initiatives and compelling product. As the world awaits the global launch of the Kobe 6 "Dogers" Protro, the two have developed apparel and accessories to accompany the "Game Royal" style inspired by Los Angeles' biggest MLB team. A jersey duo launched at UNDEFEATED is now joined by a Nike Tee.

Akin to the Nike Basketball footwear offering, the newly-surfaced t-shirt features a rich blue hue across the bulk of its build. Mamba text takes after the Dodgers' signature font, while other branding elements from the Nike x Kobe signature series make appearances throughout.

Akin to the aforementioned baseball jerseys, the "Game Royal" shirt includes Bryant's iconic 24 on the back, and a "Thank You" message embroidered on the right hip. The stitched detail also nods to the Black Mamba's final NBA game.

Enjoy official photos of the tee below. The item should arrive via Nike.com soon for less than $60.
