The shoes worn during Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game on April 13, 2016 returned in Protro form for the first time on April 13, 2026, exactly ten years after the original Mamba Day. Originally made available for customization by fans in the hours before tip-off of Kobe’s last game, the shoe now released with a static design that honored both the performance and the personalized origin story.
Key stats from Kobe’s career — points, assists, championships — appeared across the shoe in a way that made it simultaneously a scorecard and a tribute. The Protro treatment updated the construction while keeping the storytelling intact.
The Nike Kobe 11 Protro Mamba Day retailed at $220 and released April 13, 2026 on the 10th anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game, through Nike SNKRS.
