Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Out\u201d<br \/><strong>Colorway:<\/strong> Black\/Metallic Gold<br \/><strong>SKU:<\/strong> IU4902-900<br \/><strong>MSRP:<\/strong> $220 USD<br \/><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> April 13, 2026<br \/><strong>Where to Buy:<\/strong>\u00a0Nike<\/p>\n<p>A decade after Kobe Bryant delivered one of the most iconic and unforgettable farewell performances in sports history, Nike is bringing back a deeply symbolic design. The beloved Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Day\u201d is officially slated for a public release on April 13, 2026, perfectly aligning with the 10-year anniversary of the late legend\u2019s historic 60-point final game in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Originally unveiled strictly through the customizable Nike iD platform back in 2016, this upcoming retro marks the very first time the \u201cMamba Day\u201d concept will receive a confirmed, widespread public launch. For its highly anticipated Protro return, Nike has meticulously preserved the intricate storytelling that made the original pairs so special to fans around the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>The engineered mesh upper is covered in a striking layered numerical graphic, with each number directly representing a massive milestone from Bryant\u2019s career. The details embedded into the design include his iconic 8 and 24 jersey numbers, the dates of his debut and final games, his five championship wins, 18 All-Star selections, four All-Star MVPs, and his legendary 81-point performance. The sleek black base is further elevated by striking metallic gold accents, including a prominent Swoosh and signature branding hits.\n<\/p>\n<p>As a Protro release, the silhouette is also expected to feature modern performance upgrades, ensuring the classic design is just as responsive on the court today as it was a decade ago. It will launch alongside the Kobe 11 Elite Protro \u201cFade to Black\u201d to fully commemorate the annual Mamba Day holiday. The Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Day\u201d is scheduled to release on April 13, 2026, via Nike SNKRS and select global retailers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6698777\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Nike Mind 001 \u201cTeam Red\u201d Gets an Official Release Date\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699474\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike Air Max 90 &#8220;Hypervenom&#8221; Channels Neymar&#8217;s Iconic 2013 Football Boots\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699258\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s Legendary Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 &#8220;Max Orange&#8221; Returns\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Out\u201d<br \/><strong>Colorway:<\/strong> Black\/Metallic Gold<br \/><strong>SKU:<\/strong> IU4902-900<br \/><strong>MSRP:<\/strong> $220 USD<br \/><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> April 13, 2026<br \/><strong>Where to Buy:<\/strong>\u00a0Nike<\/p>\n<p>A decade after Kobe Bryant delivered one of the most iconic and unforgettable farewell performances in sports history, Nike is bringing back a deeply symbolic design. The beloved Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Day\u201d is officially slated for a public release on April 13, 2026, perfectly aligning with the 10-year anniversary of the late legend\u2019s historic 60-point final game in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Originally unveiled strictly through the customizable Nike iD platform back in 2016, this upcoming retro marks the very first time the \u201cMamba Day\u201d concept will receive a confirmed, widespread public launch. For its highly anticipated Protro return, Nike has meticulously preserved the intricate storytelling that made the original pairs so special to fans around the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>The engineered mesh upper is covered in a striking layered numerical graphic, with each number directly representing a massive milestone from Bryant\u2019s career. The details embedded into the design include his iconic 8 and 24 jersey numbers, the dates of his debut and final games, his five championship wins, 18 All-Star selections, four All-Star MVPs, and his legendary 81-point performance. The sleek black base is further elevated by striking metallic gold accents, including a prominent Swoosh and signature branding hits.\n<\/p>\n<p>As a Protro release, the silhouette is also expected to feature modern performance upgrades, ensuring the classic design is just as responsive on the court today as it was a decade ago. It will launch alongside the Kobe 11 Elite Protro \u201cFade to Black\u201d to fully commemorate the annual Mamba Day holiday. The Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Day\u201d is scheduled to release on April 13, 2026, via Nike SNKRS and select global retailers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6698777\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Nike Mind 001 \u201cTeam Red\u201d Gets an Official Release Date\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699474\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike Air Max 90 &#8220;Hypervenom&#8221; Channels Neymar&#8217;s Iconic 2013 Football Boots\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699258\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s Legendary Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 &#8220;Max Orange&#8221; Returns\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

history, Nike is bringing back a deeply symbolic design. The beloved Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Day\u201d is officially slated for a public release on April 13, 2026, perfectly aligning with the 10-year anniversary of the late legend\u2019s historic 60-point final game in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Originally unveiled strictly through the customizable Nike iD platform back in 2016, this upcoming retro marks the very first time the \u201cMamba Day\u201d concept will receive a confirmed, widespread public launch. For its highly anticipated Protro return, Nike has meticulously preserved the intricate storytelling that made the original pairs so special to fans around the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>The engineered mesh upper is covered in a striking layered numerical graphic, with each number directly representing a massive milestone from Bryant\u2019s career. The details embedded into the design include his iconic 8 and 24 jersey numbers, the dates of his debut and final games, his five championship wins, 18 All-Star selections, four All-Star MVPs, and his legendary 81-point performance. The sleek black base is further elevated by striking metallic gold accents, including a prominent Swoosh and signature branding hits.\n<\/p>\n<p>As a Protro release, the silhouette is also expected to feature modern performance upgrades, ensuring the classic design is just as responsive on the court today as it was a decade ago. It will launch alongside the Kobe 11 Elite Protro \u201cFade to Black\u201d to fully commemorate the annual Mamba Day holiday.

The Nike Kobe 11 EM Protro \u201cMamba Day\u201d is scheduled to release on April 13, 2026, via Nike SNKRS and select global retailers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Joyce Li<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brand-post-body-widget\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider d-block d-lg-none\">\n<h6>In this Article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    NikeKobe BryantNike Kobe 11Nike Kobe 11 EMNike Kobe 11 EM Protro\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/4\/nike-kobe-11-em-protro-mamba-out-iu4902-900-release-info&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F04%2F02%2Fnike-kobe-11-em-protro-mamba-out-iu4902-900-release-info-tw.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Footwear 17 Hrs ago 435 Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Joyce Li Share this article In this Article 1 of 6 Nike 2 of 6 Nike 3 of 6 Nike 4 of 6 Nike 5 of 6 Nike 6 of 6 Nike Footwear 17 Hrs ago 435 Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1865930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1865930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1865930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1865930\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1865930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1865930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1865930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
