Nike took to the official Twitter account to confirm the release of Kobe 5 Protro Bruce Lee. The long-awaited shoe will finally hit the market, and fans can’t wait to snatch their pair.
“Rise like a legend. Strike like a mamba,” Nike tweeted. “The Kobe 5 Protro ‘Bruce Lee’ is inspired by Kobe Bryant’s love for the legendary martial arts master and icon.”
The Kobe 5 Protro Bruce Lee will be available tomorrow and the price goes around $180.
Nike to release more shoes of the collab with Kobe Bryant
Kobe is one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game. His rookie campaign was brilliant, and everyone knew that Kobe would become a legend. He worked with Adidas for six years, and this collab gave some pretty nice sneakers.
In 2003-04, Kobe signed his contract with Nike, and it turned out to be the most brilliant deal in his career. Nike Zoom Kobe I are the first shoes Nike launched since signing with Kobe. The Nike Zoom series thrived throughout Kobe’s playing time. Fans loved the shoes and the sales went pretty high.
Kobe launched the Kobe AD series following his retirement. The series continued for two more years, and there were three different editions.
In 2018, Nike released a new version of Kobe’s sneakers from his game days. NBA fans fell in love with the Protro series. Protro stands for “performance” and “retro.” We’ve seen Kobe 1, Kobe 4, and Kobe 5.
Nike halted the production of all collab products following Kobe’s death. The brand has launched another product, and they are working again.
Kobe’s death shocked the entire nation, and basketball players have a hard time accepting the fact that he will no longer show up on the sidelines.
