Kobe Bryant Tribute: Nike Kobe 4 Protro Undefeated "Lakers"

Nike Basketball joined forces with Undefeated to commemorate Kobe Bryant's birthday by launching the Nike Kobe 4 Protro Undefeated "Lakers," now accessible on Boxstock. This collaboration between Nike and the LA-based streetwear and sneaker retailer Undefeated has been longstanding, making this special Kobe 4 edition for Mamba Day a fitting tribute from one LA icon to another. Part of a collection of four Kobe 4 Protros, these shoes celebrate Team Kobe members, including Laker rising star Kyle Kuzma, through their purple and gold colorway. The Protro Series offers advanced technology, a contemporary upper, and upgraded materials in this design.

Details and Craftsmanship

This Kobe 4 features a shimmering purple patent leather upper with Flywire technology along the sides, highlighted by gold details. The tongues showcase both the iconic Kobe logo and the distinctive Undefeated 5 strike emblem. Further enhancing these sneakers are a Zoom Air cushioned midsole and an iridescent Undefeated logo, coupled with "8" and "24" on the heel, to honor Kobe Bryant’s enduring legacy. Debuting in August 2019, these sneakers were priced at $180.
