Selling at a price of $180 for men’s and $120 for kids. These are officially named the “Deep Royal Blue” but have already snagged the popular nickname, X-ray’s.
The Kobe 5 is fitted with a flexible Air Zoom Unit and scaled-down traction for the best possible court feel. The design of this sneaker has several elements to it. The blues come from hospital x-rays, and the foot x-ray itself comes from the inspiration of The Nike Campaign from 2011 “BROKEN NOT BEATEN”. A shirt in the campaign had x-ray images of injuries the legend Kobe had himself throughout his career. The skeleton sneaker also comes right in time for the Halloween season.
Kobe Protro’s continue to be some of the most popular basketball sneakers on earth and the colorways continue to come back and get better. What old Kobe sneaker are you wanting to come out again?
