After last year’s extensive slate of Nike Kobe 1 Protro releases, esteemed retailer/brand UNDEFEATED is set to take on the Nike Kobe 4 Protro in 2019, and one of their offerings will be this Milwaukee Bucks-style colorway. It’s certainly a fitting palette to choose, as Bucks superstar/league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo displayed a fondness for Kobe Bryant‘s Nike shoes last season, wearing several models prior to the release of his new Zoom Freak 1, and UNDEFEATED’s athletically-inclined look is on full display here. The upper calls upon a shimmering fir green patent leather upper, and then adds special details via bone white detailing on the tongue — which features Kobe’s sheath logo on the right foot and an UNDEFEATED five strike on the left foot — plus the Mamba’s #8 and a tonal iridescent text embellishment on the heel. Further white accents on the sockliner, midfoot Swoosh, and midsole/outsole then finalize the stylings. Although an official release date has not yet been announced, there have long been rumblings of this year’s Protro line releasing in August, and, much like 2018’s aforementioned releases, they may receive a city-exclusive drop. Enjoy a first look right here, and keep it locked for more info as it’s available.
