Originally hinted at by Vanessa Bryant as a potential player exclusive (PE), the sneakers are now anticipated to release and have been seen again.
Vanessa Bryant recently introduced a new iteration of the Nike Kobe 5 Protro, named the "X-Ray," which pays homage to Kobe Bryant's iconic "Broken Not Beaten" t-shirt released in 2010. This t-shirt featured an x-ray image of Kobe's hand, highlighting the injuries he endured throughout his NBA career, alongside representations of his championship rings.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "X-Ray" takes cues from this theme with a blue upper and a potentially glow-in-the-dark outsole, reminiscent of the t-shirt's color scheme. Initially thought to be a possible player exclusive (PE), details surrounding its release, whether it will be widely available or limited to friends and family, have not been officially confirmed by Vanessa or Nike.
With Nike Basketball's recent emphasis on Kobe Bryant's 4, 6, and 8 Protro models, the Kobe 5 Protro has garnered renewed attention, particularly with this "X-Ray" colorway. Recent sightings and teasers suggest a release slated for October via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, priced at $190 USD. An Instagram post from @knowing_kicks provides a closer look at the sneaker, showcasing its skeleton pattern and varied blue hues.
