Long before tip-off, when arenas are dark and most of the league is still asleep, Kobe Bryant built a routine that became legend. Those early, solitary workouts after his 2013 Achilles injury are the emotional anchor behind a colorway that is now set to return.
Nike is preparing the Nike Kobe 10 Low Protro “5 AM Flight” for Holiday 2026, marking the second Kobe 10 Protro arrival following the “Halo” pair in August. Originally released in 2015, this edition revisits one of the line’s most meaningful looks, tied directly to Bryant’s pre-dawn training sessions that defined the final phase of his career.
The pair keeps its identity restrained, centering a Blue Lagoon engineered mesh upper with minimal visual noise. A crisp black Swoosh sits quietly along the sidewall, while Kobe’s signature appears in red on the tongue beside his shield logo. Beneath the foot, a translucent outsole and subtle water-inspired graphic inside the tongue reinforce the theme without overplaying it.
As Protros continue to reshape Nike Basketball’s approach to the Kobe archive, this release leans toward fidelity rather than reinvention. Expect updated cushioning for modern play, but the silhouette’s proportions and spirit remain intact.
