Nike Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba University Red

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro "Year of the Mamba" University Red (HF5182-600) is one of the hardest-to-find editions of Kobe Bryant's most beloved silhouette. It arrived in January 2025 as a China-exclusive release for Lunar New Year, dressing the Kobe 5 in university red with gold accents and snake motifs that directly allude to the Black Mamba nickname.

Building on the Kobe 5 — low-cut, lightweight, designed for quick movement — the Protro update refreshes cushioning and materials, making it perform well on court and just as well on the street. The red and gold call for a subdued look: dark denim or black tech pants, and let the shoes do the talking.
