the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 Protro reaches for lifestyle design in its latest entry, dubbed “Del Sol,” which roughly translates to the “Coast of the Sun.” Imbuing those very tones in sparing use, the forthcoming silhouette arrives primarily composed of neutral hits as white toe boxes in smooth leather sit next to adjacent light grey panels along the profile. Midsoles separate in monochromic fashion, leading into the rear’s shimmering black toe support and top line mesh. Gridded patterns and roped laces choose a focal yellow as their main pop of color, which also outlines the profile swoosh, forming around a backdrop of lined embossing drawn out from its front to back

About Kobe 4 Protro:

The Protro edition of the Kobe 4 is nearly identical to the original. The Kobe 4s worn by Luka were a “Protro” version, which slimmed the heel shape and increased the range of the traction. The heel Zoom Air and soft phylon foam remained in the cushioning, providing lightweight bounce when landing on the heel. The upper features synthetic leather uppers, with Flywire panels in the midfoot for added lockdown. It’s a bit softer in the brand-new iteration thus giving a slightly softer feel under-foot.
