Nike Kobe A.D. Protro Returns in 2026
Nike is bringing back the Kobe A.D. Protro in a 'Ruthless Precision' colorway during 2026. The performance basketball silhouette marks another chapter in the brand's ongoing revival of Kobe Bryant's signature line.

The Kobe A.D. Protro continues to anchor Nike's basketball roster, with plans for a notable return in the coming year. The 'Ruthless Precision' edition taps into the colorway language that defined much of Kobe Bryant's late-career aesthetic—a visual nod to the precision and control that characterized his playing style.
The A.D. Protro line has maintained steady relevance since its introduction, offering a modernized take on the original A.D. platform with enhanced cushioning technology and refined fit engineering. The silhouette appeals equally to on-court performers and collectors tracing the evolution of Kobe's design legacy.
