Joining Nike Basketball in 2003, Kobe Bryant soon branded himself as the “Black Mamba”. His signature sneakers often offer a sleek low-top that contrasts against his high profile. Debuted during All-Star Weekend, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro "Lakers" features the iconic combination of Court Purple, Metallic Gold and Black. A blend of different materials can be spotted, while a white midsole and icy outsole complete the design.
