New Kobe 5 Protro 'Eggplant' Unveiled!

2024 is not even halfway over, yet the new iterations of Kobe's signature sneakers for the next year, 2025, have already started to be revealed!

Despite the overall progression of retro releases reaching the 9th generation, Nike intermittently introduces new colorways for earlier models to maintain excitement and novelty.

Recently, rumors have surfaced about a brand-new Kobe 5 Protro 'Eggplant' set to debut early next year. Judging from the currently exposed color scheme, the main body of the shoe will be eggplant purple, complemented by black and gold accents.

In addition to evoking the iconic purple and gold attire of the Lakers, the highly popular 'Electric Purple' from the Kobe 5 family also comes to mind.

Currently, only renderings have surfaced online, visually stunning and eye-catching. I believe there are quite a few enthusiasts who are fond of it.
