Nike Basketball honors Kobe Bryant’s legacy with new Protro colorways, ensuring his impact endures. Excitement builds for 2025 as Nike announces the “All-Star 2.0” edition of the Kobe 6 Protro, blending innovation and style. This release pays tribute to Bryant’s lasting influence and highlights Nike’s commitment to advancing basketball footwear. With each unveiling, Bryant’s legacy continues to inspire athletes and fans.

This upcoming launch follows the footsteps of the original “All Star” Kobe 6. It debuted in 2011 and returned in 2021 with inspiration from West Coast jerseys. Now, the “All-Star 2.0” adopts a fresh theme.

The sneaker offers a surprising design twist. The upper now features a starry pattern, replacing the traditional snakeskin-inspired TPU exterior that the Kobe 6 is known for. This new design element gives the shoe a unique and eye-catching look, ideal for the bright stage of All-Star Weekend. Yet, fans of the original mamba-snake pattern will still find it familiar. The snake texture subtly transitions from the starry design on the lateral side to the iconic snakeskin on the medial side, creating a dynamic and textured appearance.
