The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro "Dodgers" Releases August 2026

Baseball has been a recurring theme across Kobe Bryant's posthumous Nike releases, and the Air Force 1 Low Protro "Dodgers" brings that connection back to Los Angeles. The colorway pulls from the Dodgers' road uniforms without leaning into full team-branded territory, keeping the design subtle enough to wear beyond the ballpark.

Light grey leather covers the upper, while red baseball stitching runs through the seam between the mid-panel and heel, the pair's most direct nod to the diamond and a callback to similar stitching used on the Kobe 5. A snakeskin-textured Swoosh delivers the Black Mamba reference, and the heel carries an oversized "8" honoring the jersey number Kobe wore during the first half of his Lakers career. That number detail has appeared across other entries in the Kobe Air Force 1 Protro series, making it a consistent through-line in the lineup.

Official imagery reveals the finishing details more clearly. The pair ships with fuzzy blue-and-white laces alongside solid blue and white alternates, and Kobe logos land on the tongue and insoles. A blue translucent outsole, Kobe's signature near the heel, and oversized "8" panels across the back round out the Dodgers-inspired build.

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro "Dodgers" is set to release on August 15th, 2026 via Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $150. To stay informed on all things Kobe and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
