The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” Is on Deck

Baseball season is in full swing, and to celebrate, Nike has cooked up a new colorway of the beloved Nike Kobe 6 Protro inspired by Kobe Bryant’s love for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aptly dubbed the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers,” this upcoming iteration is chock-full of Easter eggs that fans of Kobe and L.A.’s favorite baseball club will appreciate.

 The sneaker comes dressed in a “Game Royal” mesh upper with synthetic “snakeskin”-textured accents. The tonal look is broken up with white Swooshes on the lateral and medial quarter panels, as well as Kobe’s signature sheath logos on the tongues. The tops of the tongues are decorated with thick “University Red” stitches, similar to the stitching used on baseballs, and Kobe’s number “8” is embossed on the lateral heel panels, also in “University Red.”

Down below, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” features white foam midsole units that encase the sneaker’s signature Zoom Air cushioning. The midsoles are capped with “Game Royal” rubber outsoles, completing the Dodgers-inspired look.

Need a pair? The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” will be available on Friday, May 30th, in-store at select DTLR locations in men’s and grade-school sizes.
