Nike Kobe 5 Protro 'NY vs NY': August 4, 2026
The Jalen Brunson Nike Kobe 5 Protro "NY vs NY" releases August 4, 2026 at $190, moving a player exclusive into a general release. Foot Locker's launch calendar carries the date after a limited New York drop earlier this summer.
What you need to know
- Release date: August 4, 2026 (per Foot Locker's launch calendar)
- Retail price: $190
- Style code: IX1200-300
- Colorway: Menta / Blue Glow / Orange Horizon
- Where to buy: select Nike Basketball retailers including Foot Locker
Where to cop
Foot Locker is the retailer to watch. It ran the early release on June 8, 2026 at select New York locations for the same $190, and its launch calendar is the source for the August 4 date. Multiple outlets also list SNKRS for the wider drop. Note that dates on this pair have shifted in reporting, with some outlets citing August 1, so confirm on the retailer's own calendar the week of the drop rather than relying on aggregate release lists.
What we know about the design
The upper is covered in Menta, a bright mint green that has drawn Statue of Liberty comparisons, with Blue Glow on the Swoosh and Orange Horizon accents pulled from New York street hoops. Splatter detailing across the shoe references outdoor court surfaces. The name points to the city's long running summer tournament, and Brunson debuted the pair during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Worth knowing before you buy: despite being tied to Brunson, the shoe does not carry his personal logo, so it reads as a Kobe 5 colorway rather than a signature model.
