Updated October 16th, 2024: A SNKRS Pass for the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “X-Ray” will go live today at 1:15 PM ET at select locations. Check here.
The Kobe Bryant business has quadrupled over the last year, proving that the Mamba Mentality is indeed a key driver for lengthening the legacy of the fallen NBA great. The storytelling opportunities are nearly endless for a player of Bryant’s stature not just for his successes, but also his failures and challenges he’s had to endure. Case in point, the Kobe 5 “X-Ray”, which is set to drop this month.
Officially announced by Vanessa Bryant, the Kobe 5 “X-Ray” is directly inspired by the iconic t-shirts that first released in 2010 after Kobe won his fifth NBA championship. Depicting an x-ray of a hand with multiple fractures, contusions, and other malaise, the shirt effectively communicates that the pain is thoroughly worth it when it comes to amassing championship rings.
On the upper of the Kobe 5, you’ll see an skeletal x-ray that shines in the dark. Yes, these do indeed glow in the dark, illuminating a soothing baltic blue shade against the deep royal purple upper.
After months of speculation, the official release date of the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “X-Ray” has been set for October 17th, 2024; find these on SNKRS and select Nike Basketball retailers for $190. The t-shirts are also returning in three colorways.
