In life, Kobe Bryant<\/a> was one of the most visible proponents of the WNBA and women’s sports in general, attending games, connecting with athletes, and rocking an orange-and-white hoodie with the league’s logo. Come Summer 2026, the late NBA superstar’s Nike Kobe 9<\/a> Elite Low EM Protro is expected to land in an “Orange Frost” look deserving of a WNBA association. <\/p>\n

According to Sole Retriever<\/a>, the Performance Retro boasts a medley of “Ice Peach\/Brilliant Orange\/Summit White” to accompany the aforementioned citrus hue. It’s expected that the bulk of the Nike Basketball<\/a> design sees orange finishes, with black-and-white being relegated to the game-ready sole unit. It’s unclear whether or not WNBA logos will appear on the Nike Kobe reissue; it’s possible select players within the Women’s National Basketball Association will be gifted a special edition of the release that does feature this detail, alongside their jersey numbers. Only time will tell, however.<\/p>\n

Firm Nike.com<\/a> launch details have yet to be disclosed by the brand, but that’s expected to change by April 2026. Stay tuned for more information and product shots.<\/p>\n
