Nike Kobe 5 Protro Dodgers

Nike Kobe 5 Protro Dodgers — A Tribute to Los Angeles with Mamba DNA

The original Zoom Kobe 5 was released in 2009, designed by Eric Avar and Matt Nurse, and took the low-profile basketball shoe concept to a new level within the Kobe Bryant line. Years later, in 2018, Nike introduced the Protro line ("performance retro"), bringing back classic Kobe silhouettes and updating them with modern technology. This "Dodgers" version pays tribute to the Los Angeles baseball team, the city Kobe made his own throughout his career with the Lakers.

Kobe 5 Protro — 2009/2018, low profile and maximum speed

The Kobe 5 is defined by its extremely low-profile silhouette, designed to offer maximum proximity to the ground and agility, a philosophy the Protro line faithfully preserves while adding modern cushioning. In this Dodgers colorway, the team's deep blue covers the upper, with snakeskin details on the side panels and laces, red stitching reminiscent of a baseball glove on the heel, and a grey Swoosh outlined in white.

Materials and technology

• Upper: combination of leather and synthetic materials with snakeskin print on the support panels.
• Interior: Kobe "sheath" logo on the tongue and wraparound padding for a secure fit.
• Sole: forefoot Zoom Air unit and Protro foam in the midsole for maximum explosiveness in a low-profile design.

How to style the Nike Kobe 5 Protro Dodgers
