Kobe Bryant’s legacy in the sneaker world is one that will surely stand the test of time, especially when it pertains to his work with Nike. Over the past few years, Nike has been celebrating Kobe with some Protros of his most famous silhouettes. In 2020, the shoe that Nike has been focusing on is the Nike Kobe 5 which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. We have seen some phenomenal colorways thus far and fans are excited to see more.

Over the course of the last few months, we have heard rumblings of two new “Bruce Lee” colorways of the Kobe 5 and now, we have some official images. As you can see below, there is an orange and black colorway which is considered to be the main version, while there is also a white, black, and red model which is being dubbed “Alternate.”

For now, there is no release date associated with either of these offerings so be sure to stay tuned for all of the updates as we will bring you the latest information. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these in the comments below.

Ever since the death of Kobe Bryant, Nike has released a ton of information on new Kobe sneakers that are honoring his legacy. Bryant had numerous dope shoes throughout his time in the NBA so it only makes sense that Nike would want to come through with some retros, as well as some new colorways when appropriate. 

We have seen a lot of news about the Nike Kobe 6 Protro as of late but that doesn’t mean the Beaverton brand has forgotten about the Kobe 5. In fact, thanks to @zsneakerheadz, we now have a first look at this “Bruce Lee” Nike Kobe 5 Protro that is surely going to get fans excited. As you can see, the sneaker has a yellow and black upper with some hints of red here and there. It’s a model that does a pretty great job at paying tribute to Kobe and Lee so if you like either of these legends, this shoe is most definitely for you.

You can expect this shoe to drop sometime later this year for the price of $180 USD. Let us know in the comments below what you think of them and whether or not you plan on copping.

Kobe Bryant may no longer be with us but there is no denying his influence on basketball and the world of sneakers. One of his most infamous Nike silhouettes is the Nike Kobe 5 and in 2020, the Beaverton brand has plans to drop some fresh colorways of the classic shoe. We have seen some teasers for a few already although now, thanks to the Instagram account street8oy, we have a fresh look at a “Bruce Lee” model which can be seen in the post below.

As you can see, the shoe mostly has a white upper while black patent leather hits are placed on the toe box and the side panels. Meanwhile, the Nike swoosh is white but with a red outline. We also get some yellow near the back heel, as well as red scratch marks closer to the toe box. Overall, it’s a colorway that should be familiar to Kobe and Nike basketball fans.

A release date for these has yet to be determined so stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news. Also, let us know in the comments below what you think of this new colorway.
