Nike is officially bringing back the Kobe 7 Protro “Invisibility Cloak,” marking the first time the seventh signature model will receive the brand’s performance Protro treatment. The launch revives a fan-favorite silhouette that has remained vaulted since its original 2012 debut.
The 2027 edition preserves the original model’s Black, Court Purple, and Turquoise Blue color palette. The focal point remains its iridescent upper finish, which dynamically transitions between rich purple and turquoise as lighting hits the shoe from different angles—a transformative visual effect that originally birthed the “Invisibility Cloak” nickname.
Balancing the shifting tones, the construction incorporates textured black leather alongside Metallic Silver Swooshes and Infrared Kobe branding. Underneath, an icy translucent outsole grounds the build, maintaining the distinct tooling and design language that defined the original performance shoe.
The Nike Kobe 7 Protro “Invisibility Cloak” is expected to release in Fall 2027.
