The Nike Kobe line is beloved by fans from the streets to NBA courts, with a constant expansion from new and retro colorways to new silhouettes expected for next year. Beyond its status as the most-worn line in the NBA and WNBA, the Nike Kobe Protro collection has evolved off the floor onto Dunks and Air Force 1s with just as much Mamba energy as the numbered pairs.
Slithering Like a Mamba
The Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low Protro Lenticular Snakeskin is the latest pair from Kobe’s Air Force 1 collection, bringing as much snakeskin as possible to the performance Forces. Arriving before the year is out, the grey and black colorway shifts with the light like a snake camouflaging itself as it slithers through the brush.
Featuring an upper covered in grey and black snakeskin print, the lenticular colorway features a nearly holographic upper that reflects the light. The Swoosh keeps the same snakeskin print but adds a neon yellow pop around it, with a bit more color on the purple Kobe sheath heel logo for a Lakers-themed mix, with a hit of contrast on the black outsole and laces.
