Nike Basketball is dropping a “Total Orange” colorway of the Kobe 6 Protro inspired by Kobe Bryant’s love and support of the WNBA and women’s basketball.

This Kobe 6 Protro comes dressed in the WNBA’s signature orange hue, with the exception of the Swooshes on the side panels and the Kobe Sheath logos on the tongues, which come in metallic silver. Underfoot, a translucent rubber outsole rounds out the design.

Bryant’s support for the WNBA was reciprocated in 2020 when the women’s league named the WNBA Advocacy Award after Kobe and Gigi following their passing.

“Kobe was an incredible champion of women’s basketball and Gianna shared his passion and dedication to our game,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “The Kobe & Gigi Bryant WNBA Advocacy Award will honor their legacy and reflect Kobe’s commitment to mentoring the next generation of players, promoting the game and giving back to the community.”

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Total Orange” is slated to drop this July on SNKRS and at select retailers to coincide with the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. Grab a first look below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.
