Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro

This special-edition AF1 is inspired by Kobe’s early playing days and the start of his Mamba Mentality. Kobe broke his hand during a preseason game, but that didn’t stop him from getting shots up at 4 a.m. in his pajamas.

Benefits

• Leather upper with perforated toe box is breathable and comfortable.
• Patterned laces nod to the legendary tale of Kobe practicing in plaid pajamas while recovering from an injury.
• Originally designed for performance hoops, Nike Air cushioning adds lightweight, all-day comfort.
• Rubber outsole with heritage hoops pivot circles delivers traction and durability.

Air Force 1

Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the '90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond. Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 became an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music and sneaker culture can’t be denied.
