August 24 marks Kobe Bryant Day, also known as Mamba Day, reflecting the athlete’s jersey numbers 8 and 24 from his two‑decade NBA career. To honor his legacy, Nike has released a new limited‑edition colorway of his signature sneaker.
Priced at $190, the Nike Kobe 10 Protro “Halo” sneakers — originally launched in 2015 — offer an updated design suited for today’s game, featuring enhanced comfort and a full‑length Air Zoom strobel plate for stability and support.

Nike Kobe 10 Protro ‘Halo’ Sneakers
They’re selling quickly online.
Constructed from synthetic leather, rubber, and mesh, the Nike Kobe 10 Protro “Halo” sneakers feature an advanced Cushlon 3.0 foam midsole for added bounce and traction, and the Nike × Kobe X silhouette remains a fan‑favorite for its striking look.
The shoes are lightweight and comfortable, built for hardwood or asphalt play with clean lines and a timeless silhouette. Inspired by Bryant’s on‑court movements, they deliver reliable grip and traction for precise footwork and explosive drives.
The design echoes mid‑2010s basketball aesthetics, coinciding with the final years of Bryant’s Lakers tenure. Although he played just one more season after the debut of the original 10 Protro, his influence endures through Nike’s ongoing Kobe line and in the games of today’s stars such as Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, and DeMar DeRozan.
The Nike Kobe 10 Protro “Halo” sneakers come in unisex sizes and are available for $190 at Nike.com.
This release arrives just over six years after Bryant’s tragic passing in a 2020 helicopter crash near Calabasas, California.
