The Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low Protro 'Fade to Black' (2026) resurrects one of the most emotionally charged sneakers in basketball history. The original 'Fade to Black' Kobe 11 was worn by Kobe Bryant on 13 April 2016 during his unforgettable final game — a 60-point farewell performance in Los Angeles that became instant legend. Ten years on, Nike returned the shoe for Mamba Day, releasing this Protro edition on 13 April 2026 under style code IM4260-001 in the official Black/Metallic Gold colourway.
Overview
The Kobe 11's engineered Flyknit upper returns in a blacked-out execution, delivering the lightweight containment, flexibility and breathability that made the silhouette a performance benchmark. The low-cut profile keeps ankles free for rapid changes of direction, while the tonal black treatment strips away visual noise to spotlight the shoe's structure and texture — a design language befitting the finality of Bryant's farewell. Subtle Metallic Gold detailing lifts the stealth aesthetic, a quiet nod to a career defined by championships and relentless excellence. As part of Nike's Protro programme — Bryant's own vision of "performance retro" — the 2026 edition preserves the original's essence while refining it for the modern game, equally at home on court or styled with everyday fits. Every pair is authenticated by hand at PUSHAS, so you can shop with confidence.
Key Highlights

• Official Details: Style code IM4260-001 in Black/Metallic Gold, revived under Kobe's Protro performance-retro philosophy.
