Nike is preparing to release a highly anticipated tribute to one of the city’s most beloved sports figures. The Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” will arrive on May 30, 2025, blending Kobe Bryant’s basketball legacy with his longtime love for Los Angeles baseball. The drop marks another milestone in the Protro line, which has brought updated performance features to Kobe’s most iconic silhouettes since his passing.

SNEAKERS

Designed to evoke the colors and energy of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the sneaker arrives in a vivid “Game Royal” upper with a textured snakeskin finish. White Swooshes and midsoles offset the blue with clean contrast, while small details in “University Red” reference classic baseball stitching and Kobe’s number 8, which is embroidered on the heel. The use of stitching on the tongue mimics the seams of a baseball, reinforcing the connection to LA’s other major league team. On the heel, Kobe’s signature appears in white, subtle but unmistakable.

Image via GOAT

Bryant’s relationship with the Dodgers goes beyond hometown pride. A known fan of the franchise, Kobe appeared at Dodger Stadium several times, most memorably throwing the ceremonial first pitch in 2000 during his early rise to NBA superstardom. The “Dodgers” edition of the Kobe 6 honors that bond, presenting a sneaker that connects two sides of LA sports culture, hardwood and diamond.

But this isn’t just a collector’s piece. As part of the Protro series, the shoe incorporates modern updates that make it suitable for play. The 2025 edition uses an improved cushioning system featuring a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot and responsive foam throughout the midsole. This setup offers a mix of agility and impact protection, continuing Kobe’s long-standing design philosophy of combining speed with control. The grippy rubber outsole returns with its snake-scale traction pattern, supporting lateral moves and explosive takeoffs.

The Kobe 6 Dodgers will retail for $190 and launch via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. If past Kobe releases are any indication, demand will far outweigh supply. Fans and collectors are already gearing up for raffle entries and early drops, with resale platforms bracing for a surge. Since Bryant’s passing in early 2020, every Nike release tied to his name has carried emotional weight, and the “Dodgers” colorway is expected to resonate even more deeply among Los Angeles locals.

Nike is also rolling out an accompanying apparel collection to go with the sneaker. A Dodgers-style jersey inscribed with “Mamba” script and Bryant’s number 24 leads the capsule. Other pieces include tees, sleeves, and accessories that draw on both basketball and baseball aesthetics. The model will also release in Grade School sizing, offering younger fans a chance to wear a piece of Kobe’s Los Angeles legacy.

Image via GOAT

Beyond its design and performance, the Kobe 6 “Dodgers” tells a story about place and belonging. It’s a tribute to Bryant’s role not just as a Laker but as a broader cultural figure in Los Angeles. Whether he was scoring 81 points at Staples Center or walking the mound at Chavez Ravine, Kobe represented the city with intensity and purpose. This sneaker becomes another way to honor that legacy.

Image via GOAT

With the May 30 release approaching, sneaker fans and Kobe loyalists alike will have a chance to own a piece of that story. The Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” carries  the memory of a player who lived for his city and inspired generations through both his performance and presence.
