Kobe IV Protro "Philly"

This special edition Protro honors Kobe’s birthplace. Staying true to the shoe's original 2009 design, the "Philly" colorway combines a Varsity Royal synthetic upper with Varsity Red and White trim, plus a star pattern on the ankle. Visible Flywire gives you containment and stability, while an Air Zoom unit in the heel provides a responsive feel. And don't forget to peek inside: Kobe’s Mamba Mentality is printed on the insoles with his date of birth 08-23-78.

Responsiveness for the Court

An Air Zoom unit in the heel provides energy-returning responsiveness.

Fit for Today's Players

Padded collar helps contain the ankle comfortably, while an external heel piece helps keep you stable on the footbed.
