Matt Varga The slate of Kobe releases for next year is already heating up months ahead of time. The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star 2.0” is set to release next Spring, carrying an earthy blend of that could be referencing the one and only time the man who NBA named the All-Star Game after sat on the bench.
The Mamba missed the 2014 All-Star Game, rocking a tan & white suit while sidelined from the exhibition, still recovering from the devastating Achilles injury that cut his 2012-13 season short. That earthy outfit would be a perfect match for the “Light Khaki,” “Desert” and “Sail” tones confirmed here. Though the injury wasn’t far from the finest on-court moment for the late Hall of Famer, as a style moment it dovetails perfectly into this colorway.
More generally speaking, this edition speaks to a possible overarching theme for recently announced Protro releases. Deriving inspiration from off-the-court moments began with the Kobe 4 “Girl Dad,” adorned in the same shade as Kobe’s Eagles headwear in shots of him & Gigi courtside. The Kobe 5 “University Red” that we covered just yesterday added another piece of the puzzle for this potential motif, only strengthened by news of the “All-Star 2.0” pair featured here.
Regardless of where the creative inspo stems from for this version, it’ll be a hotly anticipated one the same way all recent Kobe shoes have been. A tentative Spring 2025 date is expected, but keep this page handy as that information is sure to crystallize as we approach the release.
