The Nike Zoom Kobe 4 Protro “Black Mamba” FQ3544-001 is making a spectacular return in 2023, set to star in Nike Basketball’s holiday collection. Sneaker enthusiasts eagerly anticipate this release, which pays tribute to the legendary Kobe Bryant and reflects his immense influence in basketball and the sneaker world with its “Black Mamba” colourway.
This model boasts a sophisticated all-black design, featuring faux snakeskin accents on the toe overlay, collar, and Swoosh logos to honor Bryant’s “Black Mamba” persona. The sneaker’s base, crafted from plush suede, includes thoughtfully perforated sections in the toe box area, enhancing breathability for both basketball play and everyday wear.
The sneaker’s unique design elements distinguish it from others. Kobe’s signature logo subtly adorns the tongue, and his famous number “24” is skillfully debossed on the heels. In a striking contrast, artisans have engraved his signature in gold on the TPU heel counter, creating a standout feature against the shoe’s dark backdrop.
