The trend is still new
At the end of 2023, Nike brought you two long-lost Kobe boot revivals.
At that time, I said that these two shoes were really full of all kinds of buffs, but there was still no joint attribute!
Although everyone's enthusiasm for Kobe Bryant's sneakers, they don't care if they are co-branded like other sneakers.
However, it seems that the joint project does not mean that it is impossible.
A while ago, it was reported that the Nike SB is expected to bring back the co-branded shoes that once co-branded with the Kobe series.
Although this matter has to be agreed by Vanessa, it is a matter of eight words, but it can't help but remind people of a lot of Kobe Bryant co-branded shoes!
Before you know it, Kobe Bryant's sneakers have joined hands with Undefeated to create more than a dozen pairs of co-branded shoes.
What are the prices of these shoes now? Let's sort it out for you today and see which pair you had back then?
Item No.: DA6809-700 Year of debut: 2021 Market**: about 2300 yuan (42.)5 yards).
The closest pair of Undefeated x Nike series to us is the Hall of Fame commemorative colorway launched in 2021, but it's a pity that Kobe Bryant himself didn't stand on that big stage.
To be honest, I think the appearance of the whole pair of shoes is very ordinary, but the meaning of the purple and gold color scheme is still worth affirming.
In addition, the appearance of many elements such as the shoe body, the details are also very collectible.
Basically, it belongs to the Nike Kobe 5 Protro, which has a low threshold at the moment.
Item No.: CZ6499-900 DB4796-100 Year of debut: 2020 Market**: about 6400 yuan (42..)5 yards).
Back in 2020, it is estimated that no one thought that Kobe Bryant would leave us because of an accident at the beginning of the year.
Six months after the incident, in August, Nike held a commemorative event called Mamba Week, which also included the appearance of the What If Undefeated x Nike Kobe 5 co-branded set.
Around the theme of what if, the two pairs of Nike Kobe 5 Protro were inspired by the 1996 NBA Draft.
The Unlucky 13 colorway is inspired by the colors of the previous 12 teams that missed Kobe, presenting such a pair of Mandarin Duck color sneakers.
The Double Diits colorway is inspired by the Hornets colorway that selected Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick to convey Kobe's story.
At that time, at this time, I will look back at the word if, I believe many people will think in their hearts how good it would be if something didn't happen.
Item No.: CQ3869-500 Debut year: 2019 Market**: about 3000 yuan (42.)5 yards).
2019 was the last year of craziness in the sneaker circle, but at that time, basically the reproduced Kobe series was on sale, so many players were able to buy Kobe boots at that time in a friendly way.
However, the Undefeated x Nike Kobe 4 series did not appear on a large scale in China, but through Undefeated, so there is a certain premium.
However, compared with the hook and shoe belt pocket in those years, the average price of 2,000 yuan or less is also incomparable.
This pair of Lakers colorways is also a simple and straightforward display of the team's theme colorway, and it is also a very popular colorway.
Item No.: CQ3869-300 Debut year: 2019 Market**: about 3800 yuan (42.)5 yards).
This pair of Spurs color matching is also visually eye-catching, the original corresponding player was also DeRozan, who played for the Spurs, and the previous pair of Lakers color matching was Kuzma.
DeRozan, as a Kobe disciple, is still wearing Kobe boots to this day, inheriting the Mamba spirit.
Here is a brief science for you why the Spurs color scheme is not presented in the impression of black, white, and gray tones, but in the bright lake green.
That's because in the 90s, Spurs used three colors: green, pink and orange to create logos and jerseys.
Item No.: CQ3869-800 Debut year: 2019 market**: about 3100 yuan (42.)5 yards).
Kobe Bryant's protégé from the Suns is no stranger to everyone, and Devin Booker also ushered in his first signed sneaker on the market this year.
And when the Suns Undefeated x Nike Kobe 4 was the first player to get on his feet.
Before having a personal signature shoe, Booker, like DeRozan, can be said to be a non-Kobe sneaker not to wear, and he is also one of Kobe's disciples who is quite recognized by everyone.
Item No.: CQ3869-301 Year of debut: 2019 Market**: about 2800 yuan (42..)5 yards).
As we all know, before owning his signature shoes, the Bucks' star Brother Alphabet was also a big fan of Kobe Bryant's boots, and Kobe Bryant also previously said that Brother Alphabet has the potential to become an MVP and a championship.
And after Kobe's death, Brother Alphabet also cashed in on his talent, lifting the MVP trophy and the O'Brien Cup.
Back then, the Bucks color scheme is also very attractive today, with a dark dark green with an off-white midsole and lining, and the overall retro feeling is still very strong.
Item No.: CQ3869-001 Year of debut: 2019 Market**: about 3200 yuan (42..)5 yards).
After the official debut of the above four colors, the Black Mamba colorway, which was originally limited to relatives and friends, hit the market after a month, and it was also unveiled in China.
Although the overall is slightly different from the Friends & Family Limited, it was quite exciting to be able to get a pair of Black Mamba-themed Nike Kobe 4 Protro at that time.
Different from the very pure black upper, the holographic texture of this shoe is patent leather black with dazzling dark lines, showing a full sense of luxury.
Item No.: AQ3635-300 Year of debut: 2018 Market**: about 3100 yuan (42.)5 yards).
The timeline goes back to 2018, which can be said to be a very happy year for Kobe sneaker players and fans.
Not only are there many classic Nike Kobe 1 Protro original colorways returning, but there are also undefeated collaborations.
At the moment, the lowest threshold is this pair of Army Green Camouflage Undefeated x Nike Kobe 1 Protro.
Although the threshold is the lowest for the co-branded Nike Kobe 1 Protro, I feel that the overall appearance and detail portrayal are of a uniform level.
Item No.: AQ3635-100 Year of debut: 2018 Market**: about 5000 yuan (42.)5 yards).
Also appearing at the same time as Army Green Camouflage is this pair of white raw rubber colorways, which are more simple and at the same time, the upper is made of lychee leather.
The white upper is paired with a rubber-colored outsole for a retro feel, while the black embroidery details don't spoil the overall atmosphere.
But how to put it, it's really not cheap, so I still think that the wallet should be guarded.
Item No.: BV1207-900 Debut year: 2018 Market**: 4700 yuan or so (42.)5 yards).
In August of the same year, more camouflage-themed Nike Kobe 1 Protro was officially unveiled, and this pair of red camouflage was very eye-catching.
A total of four colorways are available, each paying homage to the location of the Undefeated store in the United States, and Red Camouflage pays homage to the Santa Monica store, which is also available only in this store.
The different shades of red are still very positive in terms of color, although it has nothing to do with the CNY or Chinese theme, but it is really appropriate to wear it during the New Year.
Item No.: BV1207-902 Debut year: 2018 Market**: about 3900 yuan (42.)5 yards).
Phoenix's pair of orange camouflage can talk about a lot, first of all, the overall color matching and appearance can be said to be very riotous.
The second was Devin Booker's first orange camouflage color scheme at the All-Star Game that year, and won the three-point contest.
At that time, many players thought that this would be Booker's personal PE color, after all, with the aura of Kobe Bryant's disciple and the color of the previous **, I didn't expect it to be commercially available.
Item No.: BV1207-901 Debut year: 2018 Market**: about 8300 yuan (42.)5 yards).
Yellow Camouflage It's hard not to think of the Lakers-themed colorway, which naturally pays homage to Undefeated's La Brea store in Los Angeles.
James had also personally stepped on his feet before, and Lao Zhan, who was wearing a Lakers jersey, wore Kobe Bryant boots in Lakers colors, and I believe many players were very excited during that time!
Probably because of the Lakers' color scheme, this color scheme is also the highest of all camouflage themes.
I would like to insert an additional digression here, foreigners really like this bright yellow sneaker, the electric mother Air Jordan 4 is just to say, the yellow Nike Air Fear of God 1 that I have always wanted to have is also sky-high.
Item No.: BV1207-903 Debut year: 2018 Market**: 4300 yuan or so (42.)5 yards).
The first to be the green camouflage color of Brother Alphabet, Brother Alphabet also took this color during the All-Star Weekend that year, and at that time, as a player who joined Nike, it can be said that it was still quite important.
At the same time, this colorway pays homage to the Undefeated Silver Lake store, but what can I say about how many points can the brothers score this colorway?
Year of debut: 2018 Market**: Around $8000 (42.)5 yards).
Finally, as a blockbuster, the two Friends and Family Limited Undefeated x Nike Kobe 1 Protro is believed to be familiar to many veteran players.
Among them, this pair of white and purple relatives and friends was created to celebrate the opening of Undefeated Hong Kong's Causeway Bay, and the rarity speaks for itself.
Perennial list of the most expensive sneakers, design, workmanship, materials or anything else have nothing to say, but the color bar feels that it is always almost interesting.
Removing the ultra-limited specifications and sky-high attributes, in all fairness, I don't choose to go on the feet, but I still miss the sneakers that Nike and trendy stores were willing to spend a lot of effort on sneakers in those years.
Year of debut: 2018 Market**: Around $7000 (42.)5 yards).
The Undefeated x Nike Kobe 1 Protro doesn't need to be repeated, it is also a limited edition brought to celebrate the opening of the store.
Inspired by the Flight Jacket, who wouldn't be confused by the undefeated signature army green with striking orange details?
Compared to the other pair of friends and relatives limited, this pair is really the ceiling, and no pair of Nike Zoom Kobe 1 can surpass!
I can only say that I miss these sneakers back then, but I can't go back.
That's it for the Undefeated x Nike collaboration that players have had the opportunity to reach or have had the opportunity to reach.
Later, Tucker and Booker also played the rarer Undefeated x Nike Kobe 4 Protro.
I won't put it in this list today, after all, it doesn't make much sense.
For all of these today, which pair do you like best?
