Collaborating with the ‘Mamba Week’ releases, the LA-based sneaker boutique, Undefeated introduces the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “What If?” Special Box pack. As a nod to the day of Bryant’s draft to the NBA in 1996, the sneakers come in two different colourways.
The more colourful pair, the Undefeated x Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro ‘What if Pack – Dirty Dozen’ was inspired by the team colours of the twelve NBA franchises that passed on Bryant in the draft.
The more minimalistic white sneaker — Undefeated x Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro ‘What if Pack – Unlucky 13’ — dons the colours of the Charlotte Hornets, the very team that selected Bryant, a tribute to the first NBA team that the Black Mamba played with.
