Nike has announced that it will be releasing a Kobe Bryant sneaker in celebration of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The shoe, called the Nike Kobe 4 Protro Gold Medal, was originally released in 2009 to honor the United States' 2008 Olympic Gold Medal win. This new version will be released in the fall of 2024.
The original version of the Kobe 4 Gold Medal was released on July 19, 2009 for $120 USD. The Protro version is expected to have a price tag of $190 USD. This is just one of many sneakers that Nike has planned in anticipation of the 2024 Olympics.
The sneaker will reportedly be dressed in white, dark obsidian, varsity red, and metallic gold colors, and will feature Bryant's Olympic No.10 on the heels, as well as the date “08.24.08” on the insoles. This is to commemorate the date that the United States won the 2008 gold medal.
Nike recently released the Kobe 8 Protro Halo, which was designed and created by Bryant's widow, Vanessa, on the late Lakers legend's birthday. This shoe was released to continue Bryant's legacy, and embodies the timelessness of an icon never forgotten.
Kobe Bryant was an 18-time All-Star and 5-time NBA champion. He was also the youngest player to reach 30,000 points, and scored an NBA-season-high 60 points in his final game before retiring in 2016. Sadly, Bryant died in a helicopter crash in 2020.
Adidas is also set to relaunch Bryant's first signature shoe, the Crazy 8. This is part of the ongoing celebration of Kobe's legacy, and will be released alongside the Nike Kobe 4 Protro Gold Medal in 2024.
