The Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Draft Day” is just about ready to take the stage. The release will be conducted as a blind box drop consisting of 13 pairs inspired by every team that passed on Kobe in the draft, plus a rare yellow anomaly for the Lakers. Pairs release June 26th, 2026 via Nike SNKRS and retailers for $200. See our Where To Buy section below to get your raffle entries in and keep scrolling for our full breakdown.
With 14 total possibilities, the “Draft Day” pack offers more outcomes than just about any blind box sneaker release we can recall, replicating the anxious thrill of an actual draft on a micro scale. The 13 white-dominant colorways each feature wear-away uppers that reveal a matching team color underneath, paired with ping pong ball graphics on the insoles bearing the number of the corresponding draft pick. Ahead of the drop, Philippines sneaker store @titan_22 unveiled some of the hidden colorways on its Instagram, embedded above. The “Lakers” colorway skips the wear-away treatment entirely, arriving instead in solid yellow with purple accents and a patterned outsole.
