It pays to be a Swoosh school. As a new college basketball season quickly approaches, we’ll undoubtedly be treated to the usual slate of CBB PE offerings, as premier programs earn team-colored versions of Nike’s spotlight basketball shoes. Just about two weeks before their men’s and women’s squads suit up for the first time in 2025-26, Duke is breaking the seal, revealing a Kobe 5 Protro in Blue Devils hues.
As the Protro program has picked up steam, Nike has made the Kobe line a constant of their sponsored PE styles. To wit, Duke has flexed versions of the Kobe 8 and Kobe 9 for its past two seasons, making another one of the vaunted low-tops only a natural choice. Fit for away game wear, this Duke Kobe 5 is easily in its simplicity, sporting white Swooshes, proud blue underpinnings, and black trim through the collar and graphic overlays. Notably, the Kobe 5 isn’t typically a shoe we frequently see in this collegiate application, leaving the door open for it becoming a mainstay of NCAA schools’ exclusive swag in the coming months.
Of course, it’ll take you suiting up for the Blue Devils or scoping out a pair on the secondary market to get your hands on the Duke Nike Kobe 5 Protro Pe. We can, however, freely offer up some detailed shots – find them below.
