Nike has been hard at work revamping their Kobe lineup after working out a new contract with his widow, Vanessa Bryant, back in 2022. This year, they are adding a new “Black Lightning” Kobe 6 Proto to their Fall slate.
Nike’s Kobe lineup has grown considerably over the last year, as they continue to push new and classic colorways of some of our favorite models in their Protro format. The earlier Kobe silhouettes have been the main focus, with a large emphasis on the 6 in the last few months. More and more new styles of the performance retro continue to pop up, with a new “Black Lightning” edition surfacing today.
The latest pair of the Kobe 6 Protro to emerge is only known on paper at the moment, as no pairs have found their way to leakers or retailers yet. Dubbed “Black Lightning”, the look is expected to feature a largely black base, with accent colors in Lightning and University Gold yellow, as well as a hint of Volt green.
NIKE KOBE 6 PROTRO “BLACK LIGHTNING” RELEASE INFORMATION
Nike’s latest addition to their Kobe lineup for 2025 does not have a set release date yet, but is expected to arrive sometime this Fall. The “Black Lightning” addition is only seen in speculative mockups so far, but will likely be available from both Nike and select retailers for its usual $200 price tag.
