Kobe Day is finally here which means that the relaunch of the late NBA legend’s signature line with Nike is officially underway. And after celebrating the five-time champion’s birthday with an all-white, upgraded Nike Kobe 8 “Halo” offering, the Swoosh is now gearing up to reissue a small batch of coveted colorways and collaborations.

Nike SNKRS is slated to restock the Kobe 6 Protro in its famed, Christmas-inspired “Grinch” colorway as well as the “Mambacita Sweet 16” iteration from 2022. In addition, UNDEFEATED’s Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Hall of Fame” from 2021 and the Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Mambacita” that dropped earlier this year are expected to make their return.

It’s important to note that there will be limited quantities of each style available on a first-come-first-served basis and that they will be dropping at a random time on the SNKRS app. At the time of writing, the rumored time for the release is 11:24am EDT (8:24am PDT), but keep your eyes peeled as this is subject to change.

In case you missed it, the Nike Kobe line has a barrage of colorways on deck such as the Kobe 4 Protro “Philly,” Kobe 8 Protro “Venice” the Kobe 6 Protro “Reverse Grinch” installments, all of which are expected to hit the masses within the coming months.
