Which Kobe Protros hold their value? Kobe 6s resell at double retail, Kobe 9s a third below
We compared what 153 Kobe Protro listings actually resold for with what they cost in a store. The Kobe 6 is the clear winner at about double retail, the Kobe 4 and 5 sit about half above, and the Kobe 3 and Kobe 9 mostly sell for less than they cost in a store.

Kobe Protros are all over the release news this week. Jalen Brunson's Kobe 3 Low 'Arancia' PE shock-dropped at tip-off, he wore an all-gold Kobe 6 for the Knicks' ring night, and a Kobe 8 'Mine Grey' has been announced for fall 2027. Before the next drop, it is worth asking which Kobe Protros actually hold their value once they hit resale.
The answer depends heavily on the number on the side. We took every Kobe Protro listing on GOAT and StockX with at least 10 sales between July 18 and October 16, 2026 and a listed retail price, 153 listings in all, and compared each listing's median sale with what it cost in a store. The typical Kobe 6 Protro resells for about double its retail price, and every one of the 24 Kobe 6 listings sold above retail. The typical Kobe 9 Protro sells for about a third less than retail, and 33 of 35 sold below it.
