Nike is set to honor the legacy of Kobe Bryant with an exclusive release in 2025—the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Year Of The Mamba”. As the Chinese zodiac marks 2025 as the Year of the Snake, a symbol resonating with wisdom, charm, elegance, and transformation, Nike has crafted a special edition of the Kobe 5 to celebrate the Black Mamba’s enduring impact.
A Stunning Design Tribute
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Year Of The Mamba” pays homage to Kobe Bryant’s legendary status with a mesmerizing design that transforms the Swoosh logo into a snake. Early images reveal a metallic purple upper, evocative of the snake's regal nature, complemented by a sleek black heel, interior, laces, and Swoosh. The translucent outsole adds a touch of simplicity, ensuring the golden Mamba snake detail takes center stage.
These initial leaked images suggest that the design might be a sample, as some markings on the sole are present. However, the final version promises to capture the essence of Kobe’s influence and the symbolism of the zodiac year.
Release Details
The Kobe 5 Protro “Year Of The Mamba” is slated for release on February 8th, 2025, aligning with the Year of the Snake on the Chinese zodiac calendar. The sneaker will be available in both adult and Grade School (GS) sizes, offering fans of all ages a chance to celebrate Kobe Bryant’s legacy through this exclusive release.
In addition to this purple edition, a second colorway in red and gold is expected to drop, further expanding the Year of the Mamba collection.
