All of Kobe Bryant's Nike Sneakers Releasing This Year

A continuously updated list of all Kobe Bryant's Nike sneakers releasing over the next year.

No fan base has ever had to be more patient than the loyal legion of Kobe Bryant followers. Bryant's iconic signature sneaker line with Nike remained in limbo for much of the past four years following his tragic passing in January 2020.

However, since relaunching the "Kobe Brand" in August 2023, Bryant's signature sneaker line has come roaring back. We are seeing more frequent releases and a gradually increasing number of units manufactured.

Below is a continuously updated list of every Nike Kobe sneaker scheduled to be released throughout 2024 and 2025. We hope every fan and hooper gets the shoes they want. More importantly, we hope they embody all of the Los Angeles Lakers legend's ethos when wearing the basketball shoes.

Nike Kobe 9 Elite "Masterpiece"

The Nike Kobe 9 Protro Elite "Masterpiece" is returning exactly 11 years to the day since the original release in 2014. The high-top sneakers are scheduled to be released on February 8, 2025. Online shoppers will be able to buy the iconic hoop shoes for $240 in adult sizes on the Nike SNKRS app and at select retailers.

Bryant's ninth signature sneaker enjoyed an extra special rollout. It coincided with his return from an Achilles tear and the first retro releases of his signature sneaker line (the Prelude pack). The "Masterpiece" colorway will be a full-circle moment for many Kobe fans.

Lakers fans were displeased when they first saw unofficial pictures of the Nike Kobe 5 Protro "Year of the Mamba" colorway. The silhouette sports a black and purple upper with a gold snake wrapping around the Swoosh logos. The theme celebrates the year of the snake on the Chinese zodiac calendar.

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "Year of the Mamba" is expected to be released in Spring 2025 for $190 in adult sizes. Online shoppers will be able to purchase the basketball shoes on the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers.

Nike Kobe 6 "Dodgers"

Natalia Bryant debuted the Nike Kobe 6 Protro in the "Dodgers" colorway in 2023. The baseball-themed sneakers seemed too good to be true. Then, Vanessa Bryant gifted the kicks to the Dodgers earlier this spring to celebrate "Mamba Day."

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Dodgers" colorway is expected to be very limited. It will be released on April 13, 2025 for $190 in adult sizes on the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers.

Nike Kobe 8 "What The Kobe"

In December 2013, Nike released a special colorway for all of its signature sneakers - the "What The?" collection. The Nike Kobe 8 "What The Kobe" combined design elements from previous colorways of the model.

The Nike Kobe 8 Protro "What The Kobe" is reportedly launching on April 13, 2025. While official details have not yet been announced, fans can expect the multi-color shoes to cost $190 in adult sizes on the Nike SNKRS app and at select retailers.

Nike Kobe 5 "Draft Day"

Kobe Bryant was far from a sure thing coming out of high school. That is why the Charlotte Hornets drafted and traded Bryant to the Lakers before his rookie season. The rest is history.

Nike and Bryant had fun with the "Draft Day" colorway on several sneakers through the years. The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "Draft Day" will be released in Summer 2025. It is the Hornets-themed shoe's first return since the original 2010 release.

Nike Kobe 9 "Moonwalker"

Kobe Bryant's admiration for Michael Jackson is well-documented. That is why Bryant honored the late musical icon in 2014 with the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low "Moonwalker" colorway.

Currently, no official release date has been announced. However, fans can expect the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low "Moonwalker" to be released in 2025 for $220 in adult sizes on the Nike SNKRS app and website.

Nike Kobe 3 "Halo"

The Nike Kobe 3 is back for the first time ever. Often overshadowed by the Nike HyperDunk and the low-top evolution that followed, the Nike Kobe 3 deserves its moment in the sun. Best of all, it is launching on 'Kobe Day' in the "Halo" colorway.

The Nike Kobe 3 Protro will launch in the "Halo" colorway on August 23, 2025. Online shoppers can expect the kicks being released for $230 in adult sizes on the Nike SNKRS app and website as well as other select retailers.
