Nike continues to celebrate Kobe Bryant’s legacy with the new FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Team Gold”. This new collaboration is a love letter to Kobe’s passion and playstyle on the basketball court and his lifelong love of soccer.

The colorway takes its cues from the club’s 2025–26 away kit. The sneaker boasts a bold Team Gold upper with Persian Violet accents on the lining and outsole. Gradient black details can be found on the Swoosh and heel. As for the branding, Kobe’s partnership with Nike this year pays homage to the soccer club with authentic FC Barcelona branding across the tongue, insole, and heel padding.

Made from smooth synthetic leather and reptile-style overlays, the upper also features perforations on the toe box for breathability. Kobe’s signature logo can be found on the tongue, and there is a translucent lace jewel that features the Barça crest. On the soles, the Kobe 4 Protro has Zoom Air cushioning for responsive feel.

In addition to the sneakers, a full apparel collection will be released, including both performance and lifestyle styles. Jerseys, shorts, hoodies, and more round out the capsule to help fans celebrate Kobe and Barça from head to toe.
