Kobe Bryant’s love for sport didn’t stop at basketball. He was an avid fan of skateboarding, appearing alongside Paul Rodriguez in an epic ad the LA-bred skater’s signature shoe and even wolf with skate legend Eric Koston in an actual shoe wolf. Based on some pack information from notable sneaker sources, that connection between the Black Mamba and the SB category could continue in 2024.
According to this tweet by @masterchefian, Nike SB and Kobe could be dropping some product this year. Could it be a re-release of the cyan colored nike air max shoes women boot from 2011, or could we see a skate-able version of a Kobe Protro sneaker? That transformation worked wonders for the nba slam dunk 2015 full, a shoe that many called the best drop of 2023. The Kobe Protro series has no issues regarding fit and performance, but Nike SB could contribute some skate-shoe sensibility to the outfit such as a drop-in sole, durable uppers for doing tricks, and possibly a padded tongue. A Kobe Bryant SB Dunk could also be a potential outcome of this news.
