Released in October 2019, the Zoom Kobe 4 Protro 'FTB' introduces a revamped version of the fourth signature shoe of the legendary basketball player, Black Mamba. This iteration showcases an exquisite dark reptilian design, complemented by vibrant accents on a luxurious material construction. The shoe pays tribute to both the Hornets and Lakers through the intricate embroidery of teal and gold, forming an outlined Swoosh logo. Originally crafted by Eric Avar in 2008, this Nike basketball sneaker is not only visually appealing but also incorporates various performance-enhancing features. These include Flywire cables that provide a secure fit, Lunarlon cushioning for optimal comfort, and low-profile Zoom Air technology that offers a highly responsive ride.
