Nike continues to honor the legacy of Kobe Bryant with a new release from the Kobe line, introducing the “CHBL” edition of the Kobe 4 Protro. Scheduled to drop in Summer 2025, this sneaker celebrates the Chinese High School Basketball League, an important part of Kobe’s influence in basketball culture in China. The special design features a striking gradient yellow color scheme, transitioning from a bold Lightning yellow at the forefoot to a softer shade at the heel. The shoe is complemented by black Swooshes and Kobe’s signature, along with Dusty Cactus blue laces, creating a visually appealing aesthetic. This release echoes the enthusiasm around Kobe sneakers in the Chinese market, where they have historically been best-sellers due to Kobe’s immense popularity. Anticipation for this release is high, especially after the success of previous Kobe Protro models that brought back classic styles with modern updates.
