The Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro 'Year of the Mamba - University Red' delivers a bold colorway in celebration of the Lunar New Year. A brilliant scarlet hue is executed on the synthetic upper, featuring a gold snake graphic coiled around the black lateral-side Swoosh. Additional gilded accents land on the heat-welded forefoot overlay, as well as Kobe Bryant's shield logo atop the tongue. Performance benefits include a Cushlon midsole with Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot. Undergirding the sneaker is a grippy rubber outsole and a carbon fiber shank plate for torsional rigidity.
