Kobe Bryant Kobe 4 Protro "Philly" Basketball Shoes This special edition Protro honors Kobe’s birthplace. Staying true to the shoe's original 2009 design, the "Philly" colorway combines a Varsity Royal synthetic upper with Varsity Red and White trim, plus a star pattern on the ankle. Visible Flywire cables give you containment and stability, while an Air Zoom unit in the heel provides a responsive feel. And don't forget to peek inside: Kobe’s Mamba Mentality is printed on the insoles with his date of birth 08-23-78.
Responsiveness for the Court An Air Zoom unit in the heel provides energy-returning responsiveness. Fit for Today's Players Padded collar helps contain the ankle comfortably, while an external heel piece helps keep you stable on the footbed. What's New About This Kobe 4 Protro? We adjusted the toe box for a tighter fit. A sleeker heel shape adds comfort while a wider outsole gives you better surface contact.
