With Nike Basketball consistently expanding its selection of Kobe Protro models, a variety of color options are still being introduced for revamped silhouettes. The popular Kobe 5 Protro is frequently seen, along with customized Player Exclusives (PEs) for athletes like Jalen Brunson and Caitlin Clark. Additionally, there are upcoming general releases planned.

According to recent whispers from insiders at SneakerMarketRO, the list of upcoming sneakers has grown, focusing on the year 2026. It’s been speculated that the Kobe 5 “Lower Merion Aces (Away)” will make a return in its Protro version early next year. This colorway was initially released in 2010 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant’s high school and is quite valuable today. Expect it to retain the same color combination of “Metallic Silver” at the shoe’s base and “Team Red” on the midfoot paneling, Swooshes, lining, laces, heel signature, and the tongue’s Sheath logo.

Currently, there’s no official confirmation from Nike Basketball that the Kobe 5 Protro “Lower Merion Aces (Away)” will be available for purchase next year. Keep an eye out for future announcements, including a sneak peek at the 2026 version. We anticipate its release to occur in the spring of next year through Nike SNKRS and select retailers, with a price point similar to the model’s usual $190 USD.
