Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Ring Night” PE Design
Jalen Brunson has worn Kobe models throughout his time in New York. He is the NBA face of the Nike Kobe line, a role DeMar DeRozan and Devin Booker held before him. The Kobe 6 is a regular in his rotation, but this pair was built for banner night after the Knicks’ first title in more than five decades.
The upper carries a raised reptile style scale pattern. It has a metallic sheen on the scales over a more matte gold base layer. Metallic gold finishes the Swoosh and the heel tab, along with sections of the sole unit. The laces, tongue and sockliner go matte gold.
The metallic silver heel counter is the one detail that breaks the gold. The finish is meant to match the Knicks’ championship jerseys, which have gold stitching and commemorative patches.
Will the Kobe 6 Protro “Ring Night” PE Release at Retail?
Nike has not announced a retail release. The pair was made for Brunson’s season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, and reports expect it to stay exclusive to him.
