Named in reference to the five NBA championships Kobe Bryant won during his career, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “5 Rings” is the newest colorway of the ever-popular silhouette. Releasing September 30th for $180 USD, this colorway features a frosted blue outsole a dark blue/yellow gradient paint job on the midsole serving as the base for the graphic-heavy upper. The upper is composed of a collage of glossy print “5” or “FIVE” graphics interspersed throughout the shoe. At the forefoot, these graphics are done in yellow against the dark blue leather upper while the posterior of the shoe features a tonal collage instead. Bryant’s signature is featured in yellow across the heel and his logo sits prominently across the tongue like all other previous versions of the Protro 5.
