Nike Kobe 4 Protro FC Barcelona Team Gold

The Nike Kobe 4 Protro FC Barcelona Team Gold, released in July 2025, celebrates Kobe Bryant’s profound admiration for football and his connection with FC Barcelona. This collaboration melds basketball heritage with football culture, featuring a vibrant Team Gold synthetic leather upper inspired by the club’s 2025/26 away kit. Persian Violet liners and outsole, plus deep black gradient details on the heel and Swoosh, create a dynamic contrast.

Detailed accents include the FC Barcelona crest on the tongues, insoles, and heel padding, alongside Kobe’s signature branding. The upper integrates breathable perforations and reptile-style overlays for texture, while Zoom Air cushioning ensures a responsive feel on and off the court. Alongside the sneaker, Nike releases a complementary apparel collection, blending lifestyle and performance gear to honour Kobe and Barça’s spirit.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
