Nike Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba Eggplant

The Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro 'Year of the Mamba' rings in the Lunar New Year lauding the Year of the Snake. An iridescent purple synthetic upper showcases a golden serpent graphic that wraps around the Swoosh. Flywire cables help provide a lockdown feel, while a heel counter cradles the back of the foot. This Protro model uses Cushlon foam instead of the traditional Phylon, bolstered with a Zoom Air forefoot unit. A see-through rubber outsole combines with a glass/carbon fiber shank plate for stability.
