The original 'Fade to Black' Kobe 11 was worn by Kobe Bryant on 13 April 2016 during his unforgettable final game — a 60-point farewell performance in Los Angeles that became instant legend. Ten years on, Nike returned the shoe for Mamba Day, releasing this Protro edition on 13 April 2026 under style code IM4260-001 in the official Black\/Metallic Gold colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kobe 11's engineered Flyknit upper returns in a blacked-out execution, delivering the lightweight containment, flexibility and breathability that made the silhouette a performance benchmark. The low-cut profile keeps ankles free for rapid changes of direction, while the tonal black treatment strips away visual noise to spotlight the shoe's structure and texture — a design language befitting the finality of Bryant's farewell. Subtle Metallic Gold detailing lifts the stealth aesthetic, a quiet nod to a career defined by championships and relentless excellence. As part of Nike's Protro programme — Bryant's own vision of \"performance retro\" — the 2026 edition preserves the original's essence while refining it for the modern game, equally at home on court or styled with everyday fits. Every pair is authenticated by hand at PUSHAS, so you can shop with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Final-Game Legacy: The original 'Fade to Black' was on Kobe's feet for his 60-point farewell on 13 April 2016, making this one of the most storied colourways in his signature line.\u003cbr\u003e• Ten-Year Mamba Day Return: Released 13 April 2026, exactly a decade after that final game, as the centrepiece of Nike's Mamba Day celebrations.\u003cbr\u003e• Engineered Flyknit Build: A lightweight, adaptive knit upper on a low-cut chassis engineered for speed and agility.\u003cbr\u003e• Official Details: Style code IM4260-001 in Black\/Metallic Gold, revived under Kobe's Protro performance-retro philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-retail (UA-grade), meaning these items are produced in the same factories and to similar specifications as retail versions, but are not sold through authorised brand channels, allowing us to offer them at significantly lower prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchanges:\u003c\/strong\u003e We offer a 30-day return and refund policy from the date of delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ship worldwide and offer free worldwide shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Images:\u003c\/strong\u003e All images shown are of the actual product and accurately represent what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspection Requests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-shipment inspection images can be provided upon request at checkout, which may extend processing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sole Dept is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with any brands shown, and all trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nike","offers":[{"title":"US M 4 \/ W 5.5","offer_id":54007595041086,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54007595073854,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54007595106622,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54007595139390,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54000476520766,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54000476553534,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54000476586302,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54000476619070,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54000476651838,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54000476684606,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54000476717374,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54000476750142,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54000476782910,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54007595172158,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54000476815678,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54000476848446,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54000476881214,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54000476946750,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/Nike-Air-Zoom-Alphafly-Next-3-White-Hyper-Turquoise-Concord-2025-02.webp?v=1785476992","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/nike-kobe-11-elite-low-protro-fade-to-black-2026","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
