Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Draft Day” Pack

There are 14 possible colorways. Thirteen represent the teams that selected another player before Kobe, while the rare Lakers version points to where his career eventually landed.

Most pairs start with a mostly white upper that wears away to reveal team colors underneath. The effect gives each shoe a second look over time instead of showing the full colorway straight out of the box. Nike also added draft-lottery graphics to the insoles, with ping-pong balls marked by the team’s corresponding pick number.

Small details on the upper hint at what is hiding below. The outlined Swooshes and Kobe logos use different accent colors depending on the team, so the pairs are not completely identical before the tear-away layer changes.
