The Nike Kobe 4 Protro 'CHBL' is officially on the way (soon)

The highly-anticipated Nike Kobe 4 "CHBL" is officially on the way and coming to a retailer near you soon.

Previewed by Vanessa Bryant in early April, the "CHBL" (Chinese High School Basketball League) shoes are about to come your way. Decked out in a bright yellow colorway, the silhouette pays tribute to the Chinese School Basketball League, and includes matching yellow laces and a texturized gradient pattern that transitions into a solid white color near the upper heel. The sneaker also includes Kobe's infamous "Touch the line" statement he made while calling out (in Kobe style, of course), a young basketball player during a 2016 visit to Shanghai.

While we don't have an exact release date yet, based on the other recent Bryant brand drops, we anticipate this will be available to shop soon. The retail price is said to be $190, and it will more than likely have an overseas release.

On May 1, the 'Mambacita' Nike Kobe 9 EM shoes dropped in honor of what would have been Gianna Bryant's 19th birthday. The shoes were accompanied by a special set of black and white home and away jerseys that featured Gigi's number 2 on the front, and her name on the back. The jerseys are designed to replicate the ones she wore as a player with the Mamba Sports Academy, and the proceeds from these jerseys will go towards the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation. 

More information on the Nike Kobe 4 "CHBL" is expected in the coming days.
