Thirty years after Kobe Bryant shook up the NBA Draft, Nike is flipping sneaker storytelling on its head with one of the wildest releases of 2026.
Introduction:
Enter the Nike Kobe 4 Protro ‘Draft Day’ Pack, a 14-pair collection inspired by every franchise that passed on the Black Mamba back in 1996.
And yes, it’s coming in blind-box form.
Launching June 26 via the SNKRS app, the Kobe 4 Protro ‘Draft Day’ Pack doesn’t just celebrate Kobe’s legendary career; it recreates the chaos of draft night itself. Buyers won’t know which pair they’ve secured until they rip open the sealed gold packaging inside the box, adding a sense of mystery to one of the year’s biggest sneaker drops.
The concept is pure genius. Thirteen pairs represent the teams that overlooked Kobe during the 1996 NBA Draft, including colorways inspired by the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, and Charlotte Hornets, the franchise that technically drafted him before trading him to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Design Details:
At first glance, the sneakers arrive with clean white uppers, but there’s a twist. Each pair features a wear-away layer that gradually reveals hidden team colors underneath as the shoes age or get scuffed on-court. It’s the ultimate storytelling for your feet.
Then comes the real grail: the 14th hidden pair. Dressed in unmistakable purple and yellow, the Lakers-exclusive colourway.
Final Words:
From the lottery ball graphics on the insoles to the recreated draft board hidden behind the tongue, every detail feels intentional. Nike hasn’t just dropped another Kobe retro; it’s created an interactive piece of basketball history.

I love Kobe and his family I will buy the shoe. To be honest the shoe does not fit Kobe’s greatness. It needs more, we’re talking about number 24 a true GOAT. He deserves much better and what do really Kobe would say if sit that shoe in front of him for his signature. Really Guys I know you can do better, I’ll even help if needed

I love and respect Kobe and his family. I will buy the shoe but I must be honest the shoe needs more it’s representing greatness and a legend/GOAT. That shoe is not enough for 24. Do you think Kobe would approve?

Sneaker drops SUCK for REAL collectors bc normal people like mean my win a drop 4 times a year if lucky. I think the orders that come in early should check if they have won a lot and push them to the back of the line
