Nike Kobe 10 Protro “5AM Flight” 2026

The Nike Kobe 10 enters the Protro canon this holiday season with the return of the “5AM Flight,” the model’s launch colorway from 2015. First look images now confirm what to expect.

Surprise, surprise. Like pretty much every Kobe Protro before it, the updated version looks nearly identical to the original, building on the same visuals with tech better suited for the modern day. The “5AM Flight” takes inspiration from a Vine video of an ailing Kobe diving into a pool following his Achilles injury, a short clip that perfectly captured Kobe’s unrivaled drive. Aquatic blue mesh lays the foundation, joined by black Swooshes, semi-translucent outsoles, and red accents on the heel and inner tongue.

The Nike Kobe 10 Protro “5AM Flight” releases Holiday 2026, meaning sometime between October and December. No retail price has been announced yet, though the original came in at $180. See first look images below and stay tuned for updates.
