Vanessa Bryant has once again sparked excitement in the sneaker community, teasing an all-new colourway of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro. Unofficially dubbed the “Purple Checkerboard,” this latest iteration blends bold patterns with the performance-driven design that has made the Kobe 6 a staple on and off the court.
The sneaker features a vibrant purple gradient upper, transitioning from deep violet to soft lavender, maintaining the signature scale-textured finish inspired by Kobe Bryant’s “Black Mamba” persona. A checkerboard pattern on the inner lining and heel adds a dynamic twist, infusing the design with energy and movement. Contrasting details come in the form of a light teal Swoosh and matching Kobe logo on the outsole, while a pastel pink midsole and outsole bring a subtle yet striking balance to the colourway.
While Vanessa Bryant hasn’t revealed the official inspiration behind this release, its bold hues and intricate details hint at possible ties to Valentine’s Day or Black History Month, both significant occasions in February. Whether on the hardwood or as a collector’s piece, the Kobe 6 Protro “Purple Checkerboard” continues to celebrate Kobe’s legacy, passion, and influence in the world of sneakers.
