Product Description:
Honoring the legacy of a legend, the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro 'Mamba Mentality' fuses two basketball icons in one commanding silhouette. This special edition features a soft yellow leather upper, paying homage to the Los Angeles Lakers' historic color palette. Rich purple accents trim the panels and detail the tongue, where Kobe’s sheath logo rests atop a woven tag.

A bold embroidered ‘8’ on the heel calls back to Bryant’s early Lakers era, while Kobe’s signature is etched along the lateral sidewall—an enduring mark of his influence. Performance meets legacy in this Protro iteration, which incorporates a drop-in ReactX foam insole for modern comfort and responsiveness. The design sits on a classic white cupsole for a timeless, court-ready foundation.
