Kobe Brand continues to branch out beyond basketball, building on its run of Air Force 1 Protro styles with a likeminded retooling of the Dunk Low. Behind the “Lower Merion Aces” pack and a “Draft Day” look inspired by the Charlotte Hornets comes a new style expected to coincide with the WNBA All-Star Game this summer, shown here for the first time.

Potentially aligning with this year’s All-Star Game logo, the sneaker stands out with lenticular Hot Punch material on the Swoosh, backtab, and sheath-branded tongue tag. Grey leather overlays wrap a tight-knit black mesh base, complemented by a red sock liner. The outsole remains the most intriguing aspect of the Protro update, reimagined with snake coil detailing at the forefoot, a Kobe sheath at the heel, and Kobe-inspired Nike Sportswear branding at the center.

The Kobe Bryant Nike Dunk Low Protro “Hot Punch” is due out July 17th, 2026, roughly a week before WNBA All-Star Weekend tips off in Chicago. See first look images below and stay tuned for further updates.
