Since the rejuvenation of the Nike Kobe line in 2022, more colorways are being reintroduced. For one, there&#8217;s the incoming <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/07\/28\/the-nike-kobe-6-protro-italian-camo-returns-in-the-summer-2024\/?slide=right\">&#8220;Italian Camo&#8221;<\/a> on 9 May, with even special pairs such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/12\/04\/nike-kobe-8-protro-mambacita\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Mambacita&#8221;<\/a> made to commemorate what would have been Gigi Bryant&#8217;s 18th birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somewhere in the pipeline is the titular Nike Kobe 5 Protro \u201cEggplant\u201d. Sporting the LA Lakers&#8217; signature colors, the shoes boast a regal palette of Eggplant, Black, and Metallic Gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Official images haven&#8217;t been revealed, but the pair features a rich purple base and bold Metallic Gold accents on key branding elements. Rumors suggest black detailing on the tongue, laces, inner lining, and midsole, all culminating over a purple rubber outsole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn&#8217;t a firm release date yet but they are projected to arrive in Spring 2025 with an RRP of US$190.
