The Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro Kobe Bryant Mamba Mentality is more than a tribute—it’s a story in motion. Inspired by one of Kobe’s most iconic off-court moments, this pair reflects his commitment to greatness, even while recovering from injury.
Dressed in Soft Yellow leather with Dusty Amethyst stitching, the upper is accented by an oversized “8” on the heel, honoring Kobe’s early Lakers years. The black-and-white checkered laces echo the pajama pants Kobe wore while shooting left-handed with a broken finger—a legendary display of Mamba resilience.
The updated Protro tooling introduces a drop-in ReactX foam midsole with encapsulated heel Air cushioning, bringing modern comfort to the timeless AF1 silhouette. Underfoot, the outsole features mamba-scale textures, championship years, and Kobe’s Sheath logo in place of the traditional stars.
Kobe’s signature replaces the “AIR” text on the midsole, while the insoles showcase a full-color photo of the pajama moment itself—making this sneaker both wearable and collectible.
