Nike is celebrating the All-Star Game returning to the City of Angels with the return of the Nike Kobe 6 ASG Hollywood 3D. Originally released in 2011 for the All-Star Weekend, which was also held in Los Angeles, the silhouette takes inspiration from Hollywood’s massive role in the film industry. That All-Star affair saw the late Kobe Bryant pour in 37 points and pull down 14 rebounds on the way to his fourth record-tying All-Star Game MVP, an award that has been posthumously renamed in Bryant’s honor.
That eye-popping stat line is a perfect fit for the sneaker inspired by anaglyph 3D. Kobe didn’t lace them up during that historic game, opting for the red All-Star colorway that matched the Western Conference jerseys. Despite that, the sneakers still added to the Mamba’s legacy as he wore them during his Hollywood Walk of Fame casting, forever enshrining them in history. After 15 long years, the sneaker is making a return, and we have official photos for the long-awaited Protro.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro 3D All Star goes stereoscopic, adding tinges of red, blue, and black to the snakeskin upper. Mirroring the classic 3D glasses with their mismatched red and blue coloration, the left sneaker is mainly highlighted in red with the hue flanking the lateral Swoosh, the sheath logo on the tongue, and the heel stabilizer, while a hint of blue appears on the medial Swoosh.
The right shoe reverses the look with blue presiding over the later Swoosh, sheath logo, and heel, with a splash of red on the medial Swoosh. 3D glasses and “2026” separated by Kobe’s sheath logo can be found inside the sneaker’s tongue, while an actual pair of 3D glasses included in the package adds to the theming.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro 3D All-Star will be released February 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $200. For all the latest Nike Kobe news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
