Nike SNKRS Presents an Archive of All Nike Kobe Sneakers: The Kobe Vault
Published
Kobe Bryant arguably has the best modern-day signature sneaker lineup in performance basketball. He challenged notions of what performance basketball sneakers were meant to be, both in terms of their visuals and performance on the court. To honor and commemorate his 11 signature sneakers, Nike has crafted a virtual visual archive of the entire Nike Kobe line on the SNKRS App, dubbed the Kobe Vault.
Each of his Nike Kobe sneakers, 1 through 11, gets a dedicated landing page that describes the shoe’s technology, history, and design motifs. Deeper insights into specific colorways are available for pairs that have seen releases in the last few years, including the Nike Kobe 4 Protro, Nike Kobe 5 Protro, Nike Kobe 6 Protro, Nike Kobe 8 Protro, and Nike Kobe 9 Protro. The other six sneakers have a quip at the end of their description, saying to check back later as more colorways and stories are added to the vault.
For the aforementioned sneakers that delve into specific colorways, publicly available pairs and PEs are present here, with their official color scheme, release info, and design details. This includes the Nike Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba Black PE, which was spotted on the feet of multiple NBA athletes in the 2024-2025 season.
Expect the back catalog of Nike Kobe sneakers to receive more detailed breakdowns of original colorways and upcoming Protro releases over the coming months. In the meantime, you can stay updated on the latest Nike Kobe releases and more in the sneaker and streetwear world by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
