Ever since the death of Kobe Bryant, Nike has released a ton of information on new Kobe sneakers that are honoring his legacy. Bryant had numerous dope shoes throughout his time in the NBA so it only makes sense that Nike would want to come through with some retros, as well as some new colorways when appropriate. 

We have seen a lot of news about the Nike Kobe 6 Protro as of late but that doesn’t mean the Beaverton brand has forgotten about the Kobe 5. In fact, thanks to @zsneakerheadz, we now have a first look at this “Bruce Lee” Nike Kobe 5 Protro that is surely going to get fans excited. As you can see, the sneaker has a yellow and black upper with some hints of red here and there. It’s a model that does a pretty great job at paying tribute to Kobe and Lee so if you like either of these legends, this shoe is most definitely for you.

You can expect this shoe to drop sometime later this year for the price of $180 USD. Let us know in the comments below what you think of them and whether or not you plan on copping.

Also, stay tuned for all of the latest updates in the sneaker world.

Rare sneakers cost a lot of money and if you're a sneakerhead, you understand this conundrum. Prior to the quarantine that cost millions of people their jobs, sneakerheads used to spend thousands of dollars a month on new shoes. When you're a globally renowned artist such a Drake, the cost isn't exactly a big issue. Having said that, it shouldn't be surprising that the Canadian artist has a massive sneaker closet. On Monday, the rapper was enjoying his quarantine and decided to hop on his IG story where he showed off some of the shoes he has.

As you can imagine, his sneaker closet is pretty extensive and features some sneakers that have never been released, including some Snakeskin Air Jordan 11s. He has a plethora of Nike Kobe sneakers and even has some fresh SB's. The Off-White x Nike collab is also well-represented in his collection.

Kobe Bryant's signature sneakers are among the most popular basketball kicks, both in NBA circles and with fans who grew up watching the Black Mamba. In the aftermath of Bryant's tragic death, Kobe stans, sneakerheads and casual fans alike will surely look to add another pair to their collection as they mourn the loss of the Laker legend.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few sleazy resellers who have jacked up the prices of their Kobe sneakers following the helicopter crash.

According to Complex, some Kobe sneakers are already listed for more than 4x the amount that they typically resell for. For instance, Bryant's "Dunk Contest" Adidas Crazy 97 EQT, which typically resells for an average of $280, just sold for $1,000. As a result, other resellers are starting to follow suit while Kobe supporters continue to grieve. 

In an effort to combat sellers capitalizing on Kobe's passing, some consignment shops are implementing strict policies on all Kobe gear. Complex reports that Urban Necessities sent the following message to consignors on Monday.

"Due to the recent passing of Kobe Bryant and out of respect for his family and legacy, we will not allow price changes on Kobe items that are consigned. If you have increased prices on Kobe items, we will be reverting the price back to the original listing price.
