John Kim Depending on how you look at it, the legacy of Kobe Bryant can be defined in a number of ways. The Mamba Mentality defines excellence, obsession, competition, and ferocity. But for the Kobe Brand, it’s centers on evolution and how Nike can continuously influence a generation through sports equipment and brand partnerships.
For the first time in history, Kobe’s iconic sheath logo will appear on the professional football stage via this official partnership with FC Barcelona. Replacing the Swoosh logo, Nike adds the legendary emblem on Barça’s 2025–26 away kit, itself designed with Kobe’s on-court looks. The kits are set to debut on the pitch on July 31st as FC Barcelona takes on FC Seoul, just dropped on Nike.com HERE.
Further celebrating this incredible partnership are two icons of Nike footwear–the Kobe 4 Protro and the Air Force 1 Protro. Kobe’s connection to international football and his fandom of FC Barcelona is well documented in sneaker form; these two issues only extends the lore around the Kobe x Barcelona partnership. Both will be available globally on July 31st.
