Vanessa Bryant's Instagram feed has grown into an amazing resource to evolve into admirers of Kobe Bryant's iconic Nike sneakers. In recent times, Vanessa has revealed several distinctive renditions of Kobe's Nike models, including the Kobe 4 Protro, Kobe 8 Protro, and more.

She has now unveiled a customized Nike Kobe 6 Protro honoring the iconic Los Angeles Dodgers. This Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” shoe was first seen on the feet of Natalia Bryant, one of Kobe and Vanessa's daughters when she threw out the first pitch at a Dodgers game in September last year.

This PE variant exemplified the convergence of baseball and basketball.

The Dodgers' typical blue covers the majority of the sneaker's top in its main layer, as does its distinctive faux reptile skin accent. The layout stands out with sharp white elements across the Swoosh, Kobe's emblem, lace set, and TPU heel counter, providing a bold contrast.

Red accents are also carefully positioned on the "8" on the rear heel, referencing Kobe's jersey number plus the baseball sewing across the tongue.

The configuration is completed with a white foam midsole ensuring support and ease of use, in addition to a blue rubber outer sole unit for long-lasting traction.


Those intrigued to get these sneakers are advised to stay in touch with the Swoosh’s site for timely updates on the Kobe 6 Protro “Dodgers” sneaker’s launch information.
