With the first quarter of 2024 about to close, Nike is ready to approach its early Summer 2024 product line-up — and it all begins with some of the most coveted Nike Kobe sneaker releases of 2024.

Arguably atop the list of Black Mamba sneaker Super this year is the Kobe 6 “Venice Beach”, the first-ever re-issue of the original 2013 colorway, but in the updated Protro build. The vibrant pattern of colors are inspired by graffiti art commonly seen on the boardwalk of the coastal attraction where Kobe himself often liked to visit during his leisure time.

One important note to point out is that the Kobe 8 Protro “Venice Beach” cu7846-600 feature the original thin tongue, whereas the modern colorways like the Kobe 8 “University Red” and other team-based colors for Fall 2024 cu7846-600 feature a new padded tongue.

Nike is expected to launch these Kobe shoes on April 13th, 2024 on SNKRS and select retailers for $190, so stay tuned for continuing updates and developments as we near the release.
