Dropping a few weeks back to celebrate the NBA All-Star Game was the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Sail”. This special edition release replaces the snake scales on the lateral side with showtime stars, paying homage to basketball fans’ favourite February event. The colourway is all about simplicity with a light toned upper accented with a black Swoosh. Tune into my review and leave your thoughts on these below!
