In honor of Mamba Day on 8/24 in 2020, Nike released a new colorway of the Kobe V Protro with the Kobe V Protro Girls EYBL. The Kobe Protro series focuses on taking early Nike Kobe designs and modifying them with upgraded technology and materials so that performance never ages out. The Kobe V Protro Girls EYBL draws inspiration from the most monstrous Gorgon in Greek mythology, Medusa. The stories say that with just one glance, Medusa could turn her foes to stone. Luckily with the right handles, it doesn’t take superpowers to freeze defenders in their steps. The upper on this Kobe V consists of dark grey FlyWire with subtle snake graphics visible on each panel. Striking white accents, yellow and orange interior detailing, and co-branded embroidery on the tongue adds the finishing touches to this Mamba masterpiece. The Kobe V Protro Girls EYBL released in August of 2020 and retailed for $180.
