The Nike SB Paul Rodriguez 1 Retro is back- its a must have beyond Nike Dunk Collecting

West Coast Royalty: The Nike SB P-Rod 1 “All-Star” Hits Kinetic Skateboarding  release FCFC 2/10/2026

There are moments in Los Angeles sports history that feel larger than life—moments where the stars align, and a hometown hero cements their legacy. For the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, Nike SB is capturing that lightning in a bottle with the release of the Paul Rodriguez 1 “All-Star.” This isn’t just another retro drop; it’s a high-performance love letter to the Mamba, the city of LA, and the 20th anniversary of the shoe that changed the trajectory of signature skate footwear.

A Tribute to a Legend: The Kobe Connection

The inspiration for this "Habanero Red" colorway reaches back fifteen years to the 2011 NBA All-Star Game held in Downtown Los Angeles. That night, Kobe Bryant took home the MVP trophy while wearing the iconic red Western Conference jersey.

P-Rod, an LA native and lifelong Kobe fan, has never been shy about his admiration for the Mamba Mentality. The design of the P-Rod 1 "All-Star" mirrors that 2011 jersey with surgical precision:

• Habanero Red Suede: A rich, premium pig suede upper that mimics the bold West team colors.

• Metallic Gold Accents: The golden Swoosh and branding represent the championship pedigree shared by both legends.

• "WEST" Lace Dubraes: A direct nod to the Western Conference, utilizing the exact font from the 2011 jerseys.

• The Signature Quilt: It wouldn’t be a P-Rod 1 without the iconic quilted heel lining, finished here in a deep burgundy to ground the vibrant red.

Kinetic Skateboarding: More Than Just Dunks

While the rest of the world has spent the last few years chasing every SB Dunk colorway under the sun, the crew at Kinetic Skateboarding has remained a steady lighthouse for the core community. We’ve been here for the long haul—supporting the limited releases that actually matter to the culture, not just the ones that trend on social media.

From the original "J-Rod" with its elephant print to the technical innovation of the P-Rod 10, Kinetic has championed the Paul Rodriguez line since day one. We recognize that while the Dunk is a classic, the P-Rod 1 was the first true signature shoe under the Nike SB banner. It brought cupsole protection and Zoom Air cushioning to a sleeker, more athletic silhouette, proving that a skate shoe could be both a luxury item and a precision tool.

Release Details

The Nike SB Paul Rodriguez 1 “All-Star” (Style Code: IQ5648-600) is officially set to drop on February 10, 2026, just as the All-Star festivities kick off in Los Angeles.

At Kinetic, we take pride in being an Orange Label shop that prioritizes the locals. These are expected to move fast—the intersection of P-Rod fans and Kobe collectors is a massive Venn diagram, and this release sits right in the bullseye.

Whether you're hitting the streets or just paying homage to two of LA’s greatest icons, this is a mandatory pickup. Stop by the shop, check out the details in person, and celebrate a piece of East Coast history.  Lower Merion Represent
