Among the many star athletes that are signed with Nike, ‘Mamba’ is second to none. Although he’s on par with the likes of LeBron to some degree, a certain clutch factor transcends him to a higher level in my eyes.

Nike saw the potential in him and stuck by him even when times were rough. After being involved in an assault scandal, Kobe lost various deals however, Nike continued their deal.

In 2003, he signed a 4-year $40 Million Dollar deal after which he was given his own signature shoe. The Kobe 5 for example is still one of Nike’s top sellers since the past 15 years.

Since Kobe’s passing, his sneakers have seen a resurgence in resale value. Most of Kobe 5 Protro sneakers are reselling for extremely high prices.

I believe the Nike Kobe 5 Protro 5 Rings will continue that trend. To estimate its resale value more accurately, let’s head on over to StockX

Resale Value

As with other Kobe 5 sneakers, I believe they’ll sell out fast and be very profitable. To get your money back on StockX, you’ll need to sell for at least $215.

Using my estimated resell value, expect very high profits of around $230 per pair!
