Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro 'Year of the Mamba - Eggplant

The rich purple hue takes over the base, elevated by a shimmering “Metallic Gold” snake overlay along the lateral side—a dual nod to the Chinese zodiac and Kobe’s iconic “Black Mamba” persona. Inside, both of Kobe’s jersey numbers are featured on the insoles, while the inner tongue is detailed with Chinese characters that translate to “Year of the Mamba.”
