Nike Kobe 4 Protro Gold Medal EDDEC0588

Back in 2009, Nike and the late Kobe Bryant dropped the Nike Kobe 4 in the “Gold Medal” colorway. Now, the beloved colorway of the Kobe 4 is set to make a return in 2024, this time in Protro form. This release is said to be one of a few sneakers that will be dropping to celebrate next year’s 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

Very much like the 2009 version, the Nike Kobe 4 Protro Gold Medal will come dressed in a White, Dark Obsidian, Varsity Red, and Metallic Gold color scheme. The sneaker will come equipped with Metallic Gold on the toe and heel, both which feature a snakeskin texture. Other details include the Dark Obsidian hits on the Swoosh logos, lining and mesh tongues, while additional hits of Gold adorn the Kobe shield logo on the tongues. Other features include Kobe Bryant’s Olympic number “10” on the heels, along with his signature on the lateral sides of the heels. White take care of the side panels which comes with Obsidian FlyWire, while the insoles feature Olympic medals with the date “08.24.08.” Completing the look is a White midsole and mix of al these colors on the rubber outsole.
