The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” is a tribute to Mamba Day 2025, honoring Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game. This sneaker bridges basketball heritage with baseball-inspired design, celebrating Kobe’s enduring influence on and off the court.

First previewed by Vanessa Bryant in early 2024, the “Dodgers” edition gained public attention during Lakers Night at Dodgers Stadium in 2023, where Natalia Bryant debuted the pair. The design boasts a bold Dodgers blue upper, paired with a clean white Swoosh and striking red baseball-style stitching on the tongue. Kobe Bryant’s legendary number “8” graces the heel, tying the sneaker to the basketball icon.

This release also holds special meaning for Dodgers fans. It celebrates their 2024 World Series win and highlights the team’s success with star pitcher Blake Snell. The combination of Kobe Bryant’s legacy and the Dodgers’ achievements symbolizes the unity of Los Angeles sports culture, making this release significant for fans of both basketball and baseball.
