SPLIT-SECOND FIRST STEPS.
A sensation from its first release, the Kobe V kicked off a new era of low-tops in the league. The shoe's combined responsiveness and low-to-the-ground ride provided a launchpad for Kobe's devastating first step, helping him create space and put up a shot from anywhere on the court. The Kobe V Protro recasts the original with upgraded cushioning, improved traction and court feel.
Turbocharged Cushioning
Nike Air Zoom Turbo cushioning is articulated to engage at multiple angles, so you get energy back when cutting hard and pushing off your edges.

Stripped-Down Support
Minimally structured upper is lightweight and supportive all around.
More Benefits
Split outsole helps optimize court contact for great traction.
