First Look at the Nike Kobe AD Protro “Purple Stardust” 💜 Nike is bringing back one of the most underrated models from Kobe Bryant’s signature line, giving the Kobe AD its first-ever Protro treatment. Originally released in 2017 as Kobe’s first signature shoe after his retirement, the silhouette returns in its iconic “Purple Stardust” colorway, covering the reinforced mesh upper in vibrant purple with contrasting black Swooshes, Kobe branding and a black rubber outsole. The heel also features suede detailing and Kobe’s signature, while a speckled purple midsole adds extra character to the design. This Protro edition keeps the original low-profile look while receiving updated performance-focused construction for the modern game. The Nike Kobe AD Protro “Purple Stardust” is expected to release in Fall 2026 for $155! Images via slamkicks, Info via sneakermarketro. How do you rate ‘em? 💫💭 #kobebryant #kobead #nikekobe #kicks
