Nike Kobe 5 Protro ‘Bruce Lee’ Del Sol/ Metallic Silver/Comet Red/Black CD4991-700

Description

First teased back in spring, the “Del Sol” and “Comet Red”-accented pairs were inspired by outfits worn by one of the most recognizable martial artists of the last 50 years. Bryant wasn’t shy about expressing his admiration for individuals who ostensibly tapped into a certain frequency within them to put forth effort of the utmost degree, and Bruce Lee was one of those figures. (The rich yellow pair nods to the jumpsuit worn by the actor in “The Game of Death” (1978), while the “White” alternative may draw inspired from Lee’s wardrobe in “Enter the Dragon” (1973).) While not direct flips of each other, the forthcoming Protros feature some identical accents, namely the four slashes at the lateral quarter panel. Toe boxes and midfoot areas don a glossy finish, which is also applied to parts of the tongue and heel. Sole units bring their uppers’ respective palettes underfoot, with contrast denoting Zoom Air cushioning placement. Carbon fiber shanks and Nike Kobe logos round out the outsole.
