Vanessa Bryant Drops Surprise New Colorway for Kobe 6 Protros
Get ready, Nike and Kobe fans, because Vanessa Bryant just dropped a bombshell on Instagram. The widow of the late basketball legend has unveiled a brand new colorway for the Kobe 6 Protros, and it’s a stunner.
Keeping her husband’s legacy alive, Vanessa teased the upcoming “Purple Checkerboard” colorway on her social media. And let us tell you, it’s a vibrant and eye-catching iteration of the beloved Kobe 6 silhouette.
The shoe features a striking bubblegum pink to purple gradient on the upper, fading from a deep violet to a softer lavender hue. But that’s not all – the upper also boasts snakeskin-like scales, paying homage to Kobe’s iconic Mamba Mentality.
But the design doesn’t stop there. The inner lining and heel feature a playful checkerboard pattern, adding a dynamic touch to the shoe. And to contrast the purple and pink gradient, the Swoosh and Kobe logo are adorned in a light teal color.
To complete the look, the shoe sits atop a pastel pink midsole and outsole, adding a touch of femininity to the design. However, there’s still one big question – when will these beauties be released?
As of now, there is no confirmed release date for the “Purple Checkerboard” Kobe 6 Protros. Some speculate it may drop around Valentine’s Day or Black History Month, but only time will tell. Keep your eyes peeled for updates, because these kicks are sure to be a must-have for any sneakerhead.
