Nike celebrates the lunar new year and the snake's ascendance to the top of the Chinese zodiac on the latest Kobe release, the Kobe 5 Protro "Year of the Mamba". On the court, Kobe was intuitive, strategic and intelligent, and the snake in the Chinese zodiac shares these same attributes. This shoe is inspired by Kobe’s preference for choosing to do things the hard way every day. It features upgraded traction and cushioning, and is dressed in a purple upper with a gold snake detail throughout for a Laker-esque aesthetic. Snakeskin details on the black heel and swoosh, gold Sheath logo on the tongue, Zoom Air midsole and icy blue outsole complete the design.
