The Dodgers just can’t stop winning. The MLB powerhouse is coming off back-to-back World Series wins just to start the off-season by signing one of the best closers in the league, Edwin Diaz. If Dodger fans didn’t already have it good enough, Nike is giving them another reason to smile, adding a team-friendly colorway to a new pair of Kobe Bryant Air Force 1s for 2026.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro Dodgers brings The Black Mamba’s love for LA and winning to the baseball diamond with a grey upper and Dodger blue accents, just like the team’s home uniforms.

As Nike leans further into the Kobe lifestyle line, the brand is bringing his Protro ethos off the court, retooling the Air Force 1 with a drop-in ReactX insoles and Kobe branding throughout. Beyond the Air Force 1, Dodger fans have even more Kobe gear to put on the list, with a new team-colored Kobe 5 Protro coming next year, as well. Also joining the Kobe AF1 Protro family is a Lord of the Rings colorway honoring Bryant’s legendary appearance at Rucker Park in 2002.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro Dodgers will be released August 15, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in adult and grade school sizing, the retail price is set at $155 for men’s pairs and $105 for GS sizing.
