Nike’s Latest Kobe V Protro Combines Classic Championship Colorways: First Look

"Big Stage" and "Parade" vibes combine on the upcoming Kobe V Protro.

Kobe Bryant's fifth signature sneaker is making a return to retailers in 2020 and there a number of classic styles, as well as brand new colorways, in the works. Of course, this was planned well before the tragic news of Kobe's passing but we have to believe Nike will honor the Black Mamba by continuing to release his beloved sneakers to the public.

Among the Kobe V Protros on deck for 2020 is a special edition joint that combines both "Home" and "Away" versions of the "Big Stage" colorway, along with elements from Kobe's "Parade" PE.

The yet-to-be-named Kobe V Protro comes equipped with a unique split design - the right shoe featuring a white lateral side and a black graphic on the medial side, while the left shoe flips the script. The laser-etched detailing, pulled from The Black Mamba's "Parade" PE, is accompanied by gold accents throughout, similar to the "Big Stage" colorway.

Nike has not yet announced official release details but this colorway lines up with the Kobe V that is scheduled to launch on February 7th. Stay tuned for updates and click here to preview the upcoming Undefeated x Nike Kobe V pack.

Kobe Bryant’s Nike Kobe V Undefeated Pack In The Works: What To Expect

UNDFTD x Nike Kobe V Protro collection rumored to feature three colorways.

After a successful run of Nike Kobe IV retros, Nike and Kobe Bryant have shifted their focus to the Nike Kobe V. And just like the Kobe IV Protro, Nike will be collaborating with Undefeated for an exclusive collection of Kobe V Protros.

According to sneaker source @PY_Leaks, there are at least three different Kobe V collabs in the works for this Fall, each priced at $190. Images of the kicks have not yet surfaced but the kicks will reportedly be offered in the following color schemes: "Multi-Color/Metallic Gold/Multi-Color," "Metallic Gold/Multi-Color-Field Purple" and "White/Metallic Gold/Rapid Teal."

Nike kicked off the Kobe V retros at the top of the new year with the return of the Joker-inspired "Chaos" colorway and fans can expect many more classic styles to release throughout the year.  Rumors suggest that one of the Kobe V Protros on tap for 2020 features a "White, Black, and Metallic Gold" design, which lines up with the "Big Stage" Nike Kobe V that debuted in 2010.

Stay tuned for more details on the UNDFTD x Kobe V Protro, and let us know which colorways you want to return this year.
