## Resource

Nike’s dropping a legendary sneaker to honor Kobe Bryant—his iconic Rucker Park performance 20 years ago. The Air Force 1 Kobe Protro “Rucker Park” drops with an all-white base, orange accents, NYC stamping, and classic NYC Swoosh branding, mirroring the exact colorway Kobe wore that day. It’s a tribute to his “Mamba mentality” and the pivotal moment his Nike deal began, shaping his legacy. While release date and edition size are still TBD, expect it between Fall and Winter—sneakerheads are already lining up. And hey, Jalen Brunson might be seen rocking them on the court.
