Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE’s have arrived. DeMar DeRozan, P.J. Tucker, Anthony Davis, Buddy Hield, Tobias Harris, and Devin Booker are all leading the surge on new Nike Kobe 6 Protros for the rest of this 2020-21 NBA basketball season. New patterns and designs are being seen on the 6’s scaled upper that we have never seen before. It’s as if each player goes in with Nike and decides what colors they want on it themself and how they want those colors to be implemented. This begs the question, and somewhat of a demand from sneaker enthusiasts, should Nike put the Kobe 6’s back on Nike iD (now “Nike By You”)? The model was previously a staple on the iD platform back during the shoe’s initial run during the 2010-11 season.

The Nike “LeBron Watch” series is back. On the 23rd of each month for the rest of the NBA season Nike will be releasing surprise drops of LeBron retro sneakers. First shoe to drop for this campaign was the Nike LeBron 8 V/2 “Graffiti.” This sneaker was originally a sample made just for LeBron and he sported them in some exhibition-style games back during the lockout that spanned from July to December of 2011. Who knows what Nike has in store for these LeBron Watch drops the next few months ahead.  Look below to see the first wave of Kobe 6 Protros as well as a LeBron P.E. that we hope for sure ends up releasing to the public. This is Kicks Through the Lens Week #6.

Having been a former star at the University of Texas, Kevin Durant surprised us this past week by wearing a P.E. colorway of his Nike KD 13’s that were not from UT. Nonetheless, these KD 13’s definitely had to make our countdown for Week 5. Speaking of KD sneakers, P.J. Tucker sported one of the rarest KD samples out there, in probably the most classic silhouette of the line. Kobe 5 Protros are still going strong with the likes of Anthony Davis and DeMar DeRozan being the main front-runners for the line. A clean pair of Kobe 4 Protro P.E.’s were even spotted on one Milwaukee Bucks player.

MLK Day was one week ago today and Nike conjured up a simple, yet classic, white and gold color scheme to a couple of their on-court models. The “BHM” inspired colorway graced the Kobe 6 Protro and the LeBron 18’s, both iterations being mostly white uppers with hints of metallic gold throughout the shoe. The classic “BHM” lettering can be seen on the tongue of the Kobe 6’s. It appears a handful of Nike endorsees were seeded the Kobe 6 Protro BHM for MLK Day but we had to choose just one of those athletes for our countdown. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving got the white and gold BHM treatment on their respective signature sneakers. Scroll through to check out what shoes made up our countdown for Week 5 of Kicks Through the Lens.

After choosing Minnesota Timberwolves guard D’Angelo Russell as his heir apparent, NBA legend Dwyane Wade’s signature sneaker line with Li-Ning is set to continue on with the Way of Wade 9. The WOW9 is the seamless fusion of form and function, while at first glance a sleek and futuristic silhouette, the WOW9 is packed with cutting edge technology.

 The shoe’s upper, composed of Li-Ning’s Jiang material, is crafted to mold to the foot and the BOOM midsole provides extra explosiveness and shock-absorption. The WOW9 will have two different variations — a low cut edition with a traditional lace system and the high top WOW9 Infinity, a laceless version anchored by the BOA Fit System.  

The high-top Way of Wade 9 Infinity will be released in a Black/White “Announcement” and White “Balance” whereas the low-top will launch solely in White. The WOW9 is set to hit soon.

LeBron James has had a myriad of legendary colorways throughout his storied 18 year career but few with a longer history than the Dunkman colorway. The Volt Green colorway is set to make another triumphant return to the LeBron line. 

As is customary for Dunkman colorways the shoe is mostly shrouded in Black. Yet, hidden under the shoe’s Black Knitposite 2.0 upper is a subtle layer of the iconic electric green. More flecks of green appear on the Swoosh and pull tab but the most glaring aspect is the translucent green outsole which bears the iconic Dunkman logo. 

The Nike LeBron 18 “Dunkman” will retail at $200 and is set to drop via Nike and other selected stores on January 30.

2021 continues to be the year of the Dunk as the storied shoe returns to prominence after a lengthy hiatus. Following their 2018 Blazer collaboration, Nike joins forces with WE Club 58 once again this time using the Nike SB Dunk.

 Drawing inspiration from Gulf racing, the silhouette interpolates the classic racing colors with a blue suede upper, a white midsole, and an orange rubber outsole. Adding to the racing homage is the Club 58 branding on the shoe’s lateral heels and tongue, matching the number placement on the iconic race cars for an extra flair. These sky blue kicks are set to race onto SNKRS and Nike.com sometime early in 2021.
