One of the most sought-after on-court models within the hooping community thanks to its high performance on various different playing surfaces – from dusty hardwood floors all the way to the blacktop – the Kobe 5 has enjoyed tremendous popularity during its initial availability as well as as a refined retro release in Nike’s Protro programm.
The latest version of the low-cut signature sneaker features an x-ray image of a foot on the outside of the upper, futher underlining how this performance-driven model works and interacts with the player on every move (while also paying homage to a design from Kobe’s playing days that featured an x-ray of his hand alongside his five championship rings). Multiple shades of blue create an almost frosty aesthetic that match the icy outsolde of the shoe.
