Nike Kobe 5 Protro Lakers – CD4991-500
WHY IS IT CHEAP? Read me?
In honor of Mamba Day on 8/24 in 2020, Nike released a new colorway of the Kobe V Protro with the Kobe V Protro Lakers. The Kobe Protro series focuses on taking early Nike Kobe designs and modifying them with upgraded technology and materials so that performance never ages out. Reminiscent of the original Kobe 5 Lakers Away colorway, the Kobe V Protro Lakers pays homage to Kobe’s monumental career with the Lakers. It features a regal purple upper embedded with FlyWire, plus black overlays and Del Sol detailing. A white midsole, icy translucent outsole, and black Swoosh coordinate so perfectly that they are worthy of a #1 seed in the NBA Playoffs. The Kobe V Protro Lakers released in August of 2020 and retailed for $180.
If you’re a sneaker person you’ll appreciate the build quality on these. Clean lines, solid construction, comfortable insole. Definitely picking up another pair soon.
Rare to find a shoe that’s both this comfortable and this stylish. These check both boxes easily. Will definitely be ordering again.
Came in fast and looks just like the photos. Really happy with it — quality feels solid overall. Laces could be a bit thicker but nothing major. Would buy again.
From the packaging to the product itself, everything was excellent. Fit is true to size, comfort is 10/10, and the style is hard to beat. Highly recommend.
Received everything just as shown — shoes, dust bag, all there. No complaints on the packaging. Fits true to size and the all-black colorway looks sharp in person. Worth it.
