The sports world celebrated what would have been Kobe Bryant's 47th birthday on Saturday, August 23. Today, August 24, Nike is continuing the festivities for "Kobe Day" (a nod to the calendar and Bryant's jersey numbers 8/24).

In a series of releases, Nike has restocked several Protro models from Bryant's iconic line. While many sold out immediately, fans reading this should check out the Nike SNKRS app and the Kobe section of the Nike website.

All of the releases came as a surprise, so we do not yet know how many more waves are coming today. So far, many lucky fans have been able to capitalize on the shock drops.
