Nike Kobe 5 Protro will release early February. And, a shock to all, Kobe Bryant sadly won’t be there for it.

Naturally, the passing of legendary athlete and social icon Kobe Bryant shook the sports and entertainment communities alike. However, we can still pay our respects to his memory by supporting his ideals, brands and even with his Nike sneakers. Today talk about the upcoming Nike Kobe 5 Protro.

Get into the look…

Black Mamba’s 5th Nike model first hit courts in 2009. The following year Kobe would be wearing a pair as he brought helped bring his team to victory in the 2010 NBA Finals. The asymmetrical upper on this Kobe 5 Protro combines features found in the”Big Stage” and “Parade” PEs associated with that W. Split down the middle, the lateral side reps the ‘Parade’ iteration. Meanwhile, medially ‘Big Stage Home’ takes up.

Crisp clean White hits the right most side of each sneaker, showing off the Black or White laces on contrasting tongues, perforated quarter panels and Golden Swoosh atop embedded graphics laser-etched from toe to heel. The left most side of each Kobe 5 inks those etchings in striking Black. Both meet in a Golden heel. Atop a Black midsole.

Kobe and his daughter Gianna Bryant will be sorely missed and honored moving forward. Will the Nike Kobe 5 Protro be how you so your respect? If so, you can cop them February 7th, 2020 retailing for $180. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks, reviews and releases on the hottest kick.
