Description
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba University Red is a vibrant celebration of Kobe Bryant’s legacy and the 2025 Lunar New Year. Inspired by the Year of the Snake, this sneaker features a bold university red base with gold details and intricate snake motifs that pay homage to Kobe’s “Black Mamba” nickname. A golden snake wraps around the sides, while metallic gold accents highlight the toe box, heel, and tongue logo.
The textured snakeskin pattern on the collar gives the sneaker a luxurious edge, complementing the bold design. Black swoosh logos and a durable black rubber outsole ground the shoe with striking contrast, ensuring it’s as functional as it is stylish. Packed with Protro performance updates, this iteration stays true to Kobe’s ethos of innovation and excellence.
Released on January 18, 2025, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba University Red retailed for $190. This pair dropped exclusively in China to celebrate Kobe Bryant’s enduring impact and the joy and fortune associated with the Lunar New Year.
