Our take on the Kobe 4 Protro "Black Mamba"

The Kobe 4 Protro "Black Mamba" is a low-cut basketball shoe that honors Kobe Bryant's nickname with a mostly black build: suede base, perforated toe, faux snakeskin overlays and Swoosh, a gold signature on the lateral heel counter and his "24" on the heel. The Protro treatment keeps the original's low, quick feel while updating the cushioning with Zoom Air and a lighter foam midsole. It suits guards and wings who want a fast, court-feel shoe and collectors drawn to the Black Mamba theme. Against other Kobe 4 Protros it is the most subdued, tonal colorway, and against modern low-tops it trades maximum cushioning for responsiveness and a snug, low ride.

Questions and answers

How does the Kobe 4 Protro fit?

Protro means Nike updated the original Kobe 4 with modern cushioning and a lighter foam midsole while keeping the low-cut shape and upper design.

Can I wear it casually?
Yes. The low profile and black colorway make it a popular lifestyle sneaker, and many owners wear it off court.
