The 2026 edition of the Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low Protro 'Fade to Black' brings back the shoe that Kobe Bryant wore in his final NBA game on April 13, 2016. The final installment in the 2016 'Fade to Black' collection, the low-top sports a black Flyknit upper with a metallic gold Swoosh. Kobe's signature Sheath logo appears on the tongue, while '4.13.16' is inscribed on the heel of the right shoe. This Protro edition features a ReactX drop-in midsole, replacing the Lunarlon foam cushioning of the original. A Zoom Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning.
