What to Wear with Your Nike Kobe 1 Protro 81 Points
Published
It’s been seven years since Nike last released the Kobe 1 Protro, but Kobe Bryant’s first signature sneaker with The Swoosh is finally returning in January 2026. Last time the model dropped in its iconic 81 Points colorway, the release sat on shelves, though Kobes are much more in-demand in today’s climate, so don’t expect the same treatment. To go alongside your fresh white, purple, and black Kobe 1 Protro, you’ll need some fly apparel.
Luckily, Nike has prepped a series of apparel items to perfectly match the upcoming Nike Kobe 1 Protro 81 Points, including shirts, hoodies, and a throwback Lakers jersey with Bryant’s number 8. The T-shirts and hoodies tie directly into the 81 Points colorway and depict Kobe during that famous game on January 22, 2006, when he set his career-high in points and the second-most in NBA history. Well… unless you believe the conspiracy that Wilt never dropped 100 on the basis of no video evidence.
On top of the graphic T-shirts and the hoodie, Nike has plenty of Nike Kobe apparel in stock that will match up with the colorway. We’ve rounded up the best apparel to style with the Kobe 1 Protro 81 Points, so check below and see what catches your eye. If you want to shop all the Kobe apparel on Nike, check here!
