Another Nike Kobe 5 Protro is on the way and it pays homage to the great Bruce Lee.

Ever since the death of Kobe Bryant, Nike has released a ton of information on new Kobe sneakers that are honoring his legacy. Bryant had numerous dope shoes throughout his time in the NBA so it only makes sense that Nike would want to come through with some retros, as well as some new colorways when appropriate. 

We have seen a lot of news about the Nike Kobe 6 Protro as of late but that doesn't mean the Beaverton brand has forgotten about the Kobe 5. In fact, thanks to @zsneakerheadz, we now have a first look at this "Bruce Lee" Nike Kobe 5 Protro that is surely going to get fans excited. As you can see, the sneaker has a yellow and black upper with some hints of red here and there. It's a model that does a pretty great job at paying tribute to Kobe and Lee so if you like either of these legends, this shoe is most definitely for you.

You can expect this shoe to drop sometime later this year for the price of $180 USD. Let us know in the comments below what you think of them and whether or not you plan on copping.

Also, stay tuned for all of the latest updates in the sneaker world.
