Nike Kobe 4 Protro Draft Day Pack Charlotte Hornets (Opened Packaging)

Nike Kobe 4 Protro "Draft Day" Pack — Charlotte Hornets

Released on June 26, 2026, the Nike Kobe 4 Protro "Draft Day" Pack marks the 30th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's selection 13th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft. The collection spans 14 colorways, each tied to a team from that legendary draft class — 13 representing franchises that passed on Bryant, plus a rare Lakers bonus edition. The Charlotte Hornets colorway holds special significance: it was the franchise that technically selected Kobe before immediately trading his rights to Los Angeles, giving this pair a uniquely layered place in the pack's narrative. At just a 6.3% pull rate in the blind-box format, it was among the rarest outcomes in the collection.

Like the other 12 non-Lakers pairs, the Charlotte Hornets Kobe 4 Protro starts with a wear-away white upper concealing the franchise's primary Fierce Purple and Blue Lagoon team colors beneath. Stitched accents and sockliner details carry the Hornets color scheme throughout, and the insole is stamped with the No. 13 lottery ball graphic corresponding to Bryant's draft slot. The low-cut silhouette features Bryant's "Sheath" logo embroidered on the tongue, Flywire cable reinforcement through the leather and synthetic upper, a foam midsole with Zoom Air cushioning in the heel, a midfoot carbon shank plate for torsional support, and a multidirectional herringbone outsole.
