Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Shanghai Fireworks”: expected for 11 November

Published 6 Nov · By Redacción HYPEIBIZA

The 2026 Protro revisits a China-exclusive 2013 Kobe 8, with swirling firework graphics across a mesh upper. Its release is expected on 11 November.

The adult Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Shanghai Fireworks”, style code IO6259-800, is expected on 11 November 2026. It brings back a colourway first released in China in 2013, using a vivid firework print across the mesh upper.

Firework graphics and Kobe details

Swirling orange, crimson and yellow graphics cover the upper, with a black Swoosh set against the bright pattern. The reported colour is Laser Orange / Cinnabar / Safety Orange.

Kobe logos appear on the tongue and outsole, while extra graphic detail sits at the heel. A translucent outsole continues the contrast beneath the bright upper; these elements distinguish the look from a plain single-colour Kobe 8.

The 2013 release was exclusive to China, giving this return a clear link to an earlier regional colourway. The Kobe 8 is a low-top signature basketball shoe, and the Protro edition keeps the Shanghai Fireworks identity for a new release.

What the release date means

The expected date is 11 November 2026. Treat it as a reported release date rather than a confirmed Nike announcement; dates can change before a launch, so check the product listing again near the day.

The exact adult pair is code IO6259-800, distinct from the listed GS edition of Shanghai Fireworks.
