Countless brands and teams make up the behemoth that is Nike -- whether it be sport-based divisions or special collaborative lines, each area offers something different. On rare occasion, these various branches intertwine for special projects. In 2023, the most notable footwear-based occasion of this involved Nike SB and Jordan Brand reconnecting for a collaborative take on the Air Jordan 4, a release that was celebrated as one of the best from the industry last year.
Looking ahead to later in 2024, or perhaps even further out, a new post from reputable sneaker leaker Masterchefian has prompted a rumor of an exciting team-up between the recently-revived Nike Kobe division and Nike SB. While no claim was made about what's to come, a combination of the two brands' logos and the hashtags of "nike", "sb", "kobe" and "sneakers" all point in one direction -- a new sneaker from the duo is possibly coming. It wouldn't be the first time the two joined forces as back in 2011, they hosted a charity raffle of a special Nike SB Kobe x Koston sneaker. However, nothing is currently known about what may come from this new design.
At the time of writing, neither Nike team has confirmed any details surrounding the possibility of a Nike Kobe x Nike SB project arriving. Stay tuned for updates as we eagerly await a first look at what may be coming from the duo.
