Nike Kobe 5 Protro sneaker drops announced for New York and Los Angeles

Nike will release two limited‑edition Kobe 5 Protro‑related sneakers in August 2026. The Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “NY vs NY” will launch on August 4 in New York City retailers, including Foot Locker, priced at $190. The drop follows a prior pop‑up activation near Madison Square Garden and targets fans of the city’s street‑ball scene.

A second release, the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Protro “Dodgers,” will arrive on August 15 through the SNKRS app and select third‑party stores. Priced at $150, the shoe incorporates Los Angeles Dodgers colors, baseball‑stitching details, and a ReactX foam midsole. Both products celebrate Bryant’s legacy and tie into local sports culture.
