Nike Basketball has been progressively increasing its selection of Kobe shoes by reintroducing the iconic athlete’s footwear in a performance retro version known as Protro. At present, the Kobe 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 are being sold, with the Kobe 3 Protro expected to make a comeback later this year. Vanessa Bryant has recently showcased some upcoming launches, such as an unprecedented “CHBL” edition of the Kobe 4 Protros.

As a devoted basketball enthusiast, I can’t help but express my excitement over the Nike Kobe 4 Protro “CHBL” edition that has been designed specifically for the China High School Basketball League (CHBL). Just like the Book 1, this shoe is a tribute to the league. Although only one picture of these kicks has been revealed so far, several striking features are already noticeable. The upper starts with a bold yellow toe and gradually shifts to a lighter yellow around the heel through a gradient effect, while black Swooshes on the sides provide a sharp contrast. The lacing system seems to offer both yellow and blue options, as demonstrated in the image provided. A black Sheath logo at the tongue, matching the right shoe’s black heel detail, can be found along with speckles scattered across the midsole that follows the gradient pattern.

As I write now, it’s unclear when the “CHBL” version of the Kobe 4 Protro by Nike Basketball will go on sale. Keep an eye out for news, including full pictures, as we anticipate its release this summer, available through Nike SNKRS and selected retailers at a starting price of $190 USD.
