Jalen Brunson Debuts a Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE Dedicated to his Daughter, Jordyn

Jalen Brunson isn’t just a crafty point guard, podcaster, and Kith model; he’s also a dad. So when it came time for Brunson to put together his latest Kobe PE, he knew just what to do. Taking inspiration from his daughter Jordyn’s pink heart-covered onesie, Brunson took the court last night in the new pair paying tribute to Jordyn while she watched from courtside.

Brunson and the Knicks took on the Chicago Bulls at home on Sunday night, and Brunson brought out the family to debut his latest Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE. Featuring an upper entirely in shades of shiny pink patent leather, the toe and side panels add an all-over print repeating heart print featuring more pink, blue, and red hearts all outlined in white.

In an Instagram post showing off the pair, Brunson added a photo of Jordyn in a onesie with the same repeating heart print. In the comments of the post, Brunson’s wife, Ali, added: “my favorite shoes ever.” Let’s just hope Mom got a pair, too.

So far, it looks like this family-focused colorway was made exclusively for Brunson, but considering the public releases on his last couple Nike Kobe Protro PEs, it’s possible this pair also makes it to retail eventually.
