Nike continues to honor Kobe Bryant with a fresh collaboration, the FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Team Gold”. This upcoming sneaker release blends Kobe’s basketball greatness with his deep connection to FC Barcelona and love for soccer.
The color scheme draws from FC Barcelona’s 2025–26 away kit. Team Gold covers the upper with Persian Violet used for the lining and outsole. Black gradients appear on the Swoosh and heel, adding contrast and depth. The iconic FC Barcelona crest is stamped on the tongue, insole, and heel padding for an authentic tribute.
The upper features smooth synthetic leather with reptile-like texture overlays. Perforations on the toe box add breathability. Kobe’s signature logo sits on the tongue, while a clear plastic lace jewel houses the Barça crest. Zoom Air cushioning ensures responsive comfort underfoot.
This release also includes matching apparel in performance and lifestyle styles. From hoodies to jerseys, fans can rep both Kobe and Barça in full gear.
