If you were a big Kobe Bryant fan, then you were probably also a huge fan of his sneakers. While his output with Adidas was a little underwhelming, there is no denying that his Nike shoes remain iconic, to this day. Throughout 2020, the Beaverton brand has been dropping a whole slew of the Nike Kobe 5 Protro colorways and now it seems like yet another is on the way. There have been teasers of various Nike Elite Youth Basketball League offerings and the Kobe 5 Protro appears to be a part of that.
In the official photos below, you can see a green, white, and yellow Kobe 5 that truly encapsulates the spirit of the "EYBL" line. Forest green is the primary color on the upper and it creates a clean neutral aesthetic that would be perfect for virtually any ballplayer.
Unfortunately, there are no details just yet as it pertains to a release date. All we have are the official images although if these have been revealed, then it is safe to assume a full-on release is coming soon. Stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring them to you.
