The Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro 'Year of the Mamba' celebrates Lunar New Year with a symbolic tribute to the year of the snake. Its seamless synthetic upper showcases a striking purple iridescent finish, highlighted by an intricate gold serpent graphic coiled around the lateral Swoosh. Integrated Flywire cables mimic tendon-like support, ensuring a locked-in, secure fit, while an external heel counter provides superior rearfoot stability. Elevating the original, this Protro replaces the classic Phylon midsole with responsive Cushlon foam, complemented by Zoom Air cushioning at the forefoot. Finishing touches include a translucent rubber outsole and a rigid glass/carbon fiber shank plate, enhancing stability and traction.
