The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "NYvsNY" Releases July 2026
Quick Summary
- Nike Kobe 5 Protro "NYvsNY" drops early June 8th at select Foot Locker locations across NYC for $190 retail.
- Hyper Turquoise upper features orange and blue splatter graphics honoring the iconic NYvsNY basketball tournament and Knicks identity.
- Limited one-day launch tied to 2026 NBA Finals hype with Jalen Brunson and New York just two wins away.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "NYvsNY" is getting an early moment in the spotlight thanks to Foot Locker, which announced a limited one-day launch tied directly to the 2026 NBA Finals. With Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks two wins away from a championship, the timing could not be more fitting.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "NYvsNY" build pays tribute to Nike's annual outdoor basketball tournament of the same name, a summer staple that draws signature athletes from across the league. The upper arrives in Hyper Turquoise, drawing a visual connection to Brunson's earlier Kobe 6 Protro "Statue of Liberty" colorway, but this version leans harder into Knicks identity with orange and blue splatter graphics spread across the shoe. The result is a performance basketball build with a clear New York City energy, helping push the Kobe line further into East Coast territory.
