Baseball season is finally here. After an incredible World Baseball Classic to warm us up, the Major League Baseball campaign gets into gear this week, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking for a historic three-peat with Shohei Ohtani leading the way. To give the boys in blue an extra kick, Nike is adding a hometown Dodgers theme to another upcoming pair of Kobes, this time on a Kobe 5 Protro.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Dodgers has been in the on-deck circle since last winter, when we first got word the pair was being called up. Now, after drawing up speculation last year, a single leaked photo of the colorway shows a bright blue upper with red baseball stitch accents that looks very similar to our original mockup.
The colorway is covered in Dodger blue patent leather to match the script lettering on the LA jerseys, with a grey and white Swoosh on the side panels to match the base color of the team’s home unis. The star of the colorway comes towards the heel though, with a line of red baseball stitches on either side of the side panel seam that sits at the lateral heel. So far, that’s all we’ve seen, with any other collab Easter Eggs still yet to be uncovered.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Dodgers will be released Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is set at $190. To stay up on all the latest Nike Kobe news and collab drops, download the Sole Retriever App.
