Nike Launches Massive Kobe Sneaker Restock Marking 47th Birthday

Nike has celebrated Kobe Bryant's 47th birthday with the release of the updated Kobe 3 Protro in the all-white 'Halo' colorway, marking the first official launch of this iconic shoe from Bryant's MVP season. This release features enhanced performance technologies such as a full-length Zoom Strobel, Cushlon 3.0 midsole, mesh upper for better airflow, and updated traction for improved court performance. Fans have also gotten their first look at the upcoming Kobe 3 Protro 'Christmas' colorway, which embraces a winter-themed icy blue and white design with translucent panels and iridescent details, scheduled for release during the Holiday 2025 season. The 'Christmas' edition, priced similarly to the 'Halo' at around $210, is expected to continue the success of Nike's holiday-themed Kobe shoes like the popular Kobe 6 'Grinch.' Both colorways and other restocked Kobe Protro models have driven excitement among sneaker enthusiasts, with restocks impacting resale prices on platforms like eBay, StockX, and GOAT. Nike and the Bryant estate continue to honor Kobe's legacy through these high-performance releases and commemorative designs.
