Kobe fans will be jumping for joy with the news that the Kobe 5 “Choas” AKA “Joker” will be returning in 2019 – exactly 10 years to the day it first released back in 2009. Like all of Kobe’s retros thus far, it will return in Protro form, continuing Nike’s trend of updating retros with modernized tech to fit the current climate. The news arrives through leaked internal catalogs issued by Nike, which not only show a handful of new LeBron 17colorways, but also a potential restock of the Nike Fear of God 1:
