In February 2024, Paul George laced up an all-new Nike Kobe 6 Protro colorway. Originally believed to be a player exclusive for PG, Vanessa Bryant wore this pair on Mamba Day, adding more allure. Then, what most might not know, UCONN star Paige Bueckers rocked this colorway during the Senior Send-Off Celebration, which flew under the radar.
The question that arose was whether these were exclusives for select athletes or hints at an upcoming release. If you were hoping for the latter, we have good news. Sole Retriever can confirm that the Nike Kobe 6 Protro Sail will be released in Spring 2025.
