Dropped
Today, on Kobe Bryant’s birthday, Nike officially reintroduced the Kobe retro range to the market for the first time since Kobe’s tragic passing in January. As Nike put it, Kobe would have wanted current fans and future generations to enjoy the products that Kobe not only wore but had a big input in its design and performance. For Mamba Week, we have seen the release of the Kobe 5 “Big Stage”, and we’re looking ahead to the Kobe 5 “5x Champ”, Kobe 5 “Girls EYBL”, and Undefeated Kobe 5 series, but as we look toward the future, there’s a bevy on incoming retro drops including the famed “Bruce Lee”. Now, another has surfaced, with the return of the 2010’s Nike Kobe 5 “5 Rings”. Featuring a purple-to-yellow gradient and a laser-etched mosaic depicting Kobe’s great accomplishments, this highly revered Kobe 5 originally dropped after the Laker legend won his fifth NBA title.
Release details are a little hazy, but you should expect to see the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “5 Rings” release later this Fall 2020 at select Swoosh stockists and Nike.comfor $180.
Update 09.23.20 Asian retailers have listed a release for the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “5 Rings” for September 30th. A stateside release is yet to be confirmed, but you should expect it to be in close proximity to that date. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
