FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe 4 Protro "Third Kit" IM2532-701

Nike and FC Barcelona pay tribute to Kobe Bryant’s lifelong connection to the Catalan club with the Kobe 4 Protro “Third Kit.” This isn’t just another homage—it’s the first official collaboration between the Bryant estate and Barça, bringing a colourway rooted in the club’s actual third kit and built on one of Kobe’s most beloved silhouettes.

Cream and deep royal blue split the upper straight down the middle, mirroring the 2023–24 third jersey worn on pitch. The bold contrast sets the tone, with the iconic Kobe sheath logo sitting front and centre on the tongue, backed by Persian Violet and Team Gold accents. Nike finishes off the tribute with both of Kobe’s jersey numbers—8 and 24—stitched on the heels, making the connection to his Lakers legacy crystal clear.

It’s not the first time a Kobe shoe nodded to Barça—several colourways from past models carried the influence unofficially—but this marks the first direct collaboration. The result speaks for itself: court-ready comfort wrapped in club-level pride. Lightweight Zoom Air cushioning remains underfoot, while the synthetic leather and Flywire construction keeps the foot locked in.

This limited edition doesn’t just reference history—it creates it. Whether you’re a Kobe fan, a Barça supporter, or both, the “Third Kit” Protro delivers more than nostalgia. It puts two icons on the same team, finally. Expect it to move quickly.
