Matt Varga Largely, three models have dominated 2024’s Protro releases so far, the Nike Kobe 4, Nike Kobe 6 and Nike Kobe 8. Though the Nike Kobe 9 is set to enter the mix this holiday season, we’re getting some early indications that at least one of those aforementioned silos will continue its run next year. Per @zsneakerheadz, the Nike Kobe 6 “Sail” is set for a 2025 release.
Previously worn by Vanessa Bryant and Juju Watkins, the fact that pairs of this colorway have already been minted lets us get a far better understanding of the end product than in typical “info leak” situations. In those on-foot images, the layout is relatively simplistic, draping the snakeskin upper entirely in off-white “Sail” while the KB logo and Swoosh dress in black. It’s a calm tonal atmosphere that continues the trend of straightforward palettes on recent Mamba releases. With demand for Bryant’s footwear almost at an all-time high, this is sure to be another hotly contested release, but bodes well for those who eagerly anticipate each successive Kobe drop.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Sail” is currently expected for a Spring 2025 drop, carrying a $190 retail price. Below you can find a gallery of images featuring Bryant’s and Watkins’ pairs, as well as a speculative mockup further ahead.
