Andrew Rizzo Kobe Bryant’s signature sneakers have helped fuel a stacked 2024 release calendar, and we’re already hearing word about several pairs scheduled for next year.
According to @zsneakerheadz and @sneakerfiles, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Eggplant” releases in 2025. The unofficial mock-up above illustrates what the shoes could look like, but the exact “Eggplant/Black/Metallic Gold” color blocking remains a mystery for now. Perhaps the design will take after the Kobe 5 “Ink” that released in 2010 given that pair’s use of dark purple, but official images will provide a definitive answer as we creep closer to a release.
Keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Dates page for all the latest updates over the coming months. Transitioning to another 2025 Kobe drop, read up on news of the Kobe 6 Protro “Sail” pegged for next spring.
