Nike is back at it again, reviving greatness with the Kobe 5 Protro “Lower Merion Aces Away” for Spring 2026.

Originally launched in 2010, this Nike Kobe 5 Protro colorway celebrates Kobe Bryant’s high school roots with a legacy look that still slaps. Metallic Silver, Team Red, and crisp White dominate the palette—because nothing says “school pride” like looking better than the opposing team.

Of course, Nike didn’t just bring back the color—they brought the heat. You’ll get a synthetic upper, Flywire cables for lockdown, and a mesh collar so plush it feels like you’re lacing up in a cloud. Underfoot, Zoom Air cushioning and Cushlon foam remind you this shoe’s made for hooping, not just posing.

At the heel, the spade-shaped Aces logo nods to Bryant’s Lower Merion High School team, while the Kobe sheath logo reminds you who started the legend. Synonyms like Kobe Bryant signature shoes, Kobe basketball sneakers, and Mamba kicks all apply here.

Nike Kobe 5 Protro Lower Merion Aces Away Release Date

Dropping Spring 2026 at select Nike Basketball stores and Nike.com, the retail price is set at $190 USD. Don’t snooze—these Protro Kobe 5s won’t stick around.

Whether you’re chasing buckets or collecting heat, the Kobe 5 Protro Aces Away is a win.
