Vanessa Bryant has kept her promise to fans to help make Kobe sneakers more available. While Nike still has work to do to truly give all fans a chance to get a pair, 2023 saw the line officially relaunch, and 2024 has at least double the amount of expected drops compared to 2023. In addition to leaked retail releases like the two Kobe 8 Protro colorways scheduled for February 8, plenty of PE (Player Exclusive) pairs have surfaced from the five universities who now represent the Kobe brand on court. Between relaunching the brand and building out a bigger release calendar, Vanessa has also received special edition colorways for herself. This week, she took to Instagram to share two Valentine’s Day-themed colorways of the Kobe 4 and 8, a Leopard-themed 8, and Dodgers 6. As stated in her caption, these are PE pairs, but hopefully, it’s a sign to come for future releases.
