Dropping alongside two matching tees.

SNKRS Shock Drop: Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Dodgers”

Updated October 6th, 2026: Nike SNKRS just restocked the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Dodgers” via a Shock Drop. Get them HERE.

Batter up. The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Dodgers” releases on August 15th, with a price/sizing breakdown as follows: adult ($190), grade school/big kids’ ($122), preschool/little kids’ ($97). Additionally, two “Home” and “Away” style Mamba tees with Dodgers colorways, #24 jersey letters, and Mamba branding drop alongside for $55 a piece.

All of that, of course, will be taking place via Nike’s SNKRS platform, but it’s far from the only spot you can grab this cross-category colorway. We’ve compiled all the applicable stockists below within our “Where to Buy” storelist, to be updated upon launch with direct pick-up links. Scroll beyond that for multiple image galleries and further down for our breakdown of what makes this one worth watching.

Take us out to the ballgame (again). About a year after the Nike Kobe 6 “Dodgers” became one of the more successful releases under the Kobe Bryant name in 2025, the Swoosh is turning that single-game success into a doubleheader. The Nike Kobe 5 “Dodgers,” of course, keeps the baseball theming centered on this follow-up, notably keeping the blue-forward colorway, though some subtle tweaks are in order to keep the energy up.

Indeed, additional cerulean treatments on the midsole and a metallic silver Swoosh help distinguish 2026’s pair from its predecessor if the model itself didn’t create enough separation in the first place. Alternating #8 and #24 patches on the tongues allude to how Bryant’s connection with the Dodgers, developed through first pitches and A-list ticket treatment, lasted throughout the entirety of his tenure as a Los Angeles icon.

Finally, those who checked in with us for last year’s release will know that Nike went the distance with the baseball connection around the 2025 shoes; actual performance gear including catchers’ gear and gloves dropped in a sprawling accompanying capsule. For this, their touch is a bit lighter; two tees in blue and white still spotlight Mamba branding for those looking for an easy head-to-toe fit.
