Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro Work Blue / Metallic Gold

The Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro "Work Blue / Metallic Gold" is a modern reimagining of Kobe Bryant’s iconic first signature shoe, the Zoom Kobe 1. This updated version, part of Nike’s "Protro" line—standing for "Performance Retro"—combines the classic design with enhanced contemporary performance features. The upper is a striking blend of premium materials, dressed in a rich Work Blue hue that covers most of the shoe, giving it a sleek yet vibrant appearance. Accentuating this bold blue, metallic gold detailing appears on the Nike Swoosh and Kobe's logo, adding a touch of luxury and paying homage to Kobe's championship pedigree.

Not just style-focused, the Zoom Kobe 1 Protro "Work Blue / Metallic Gold" showcases several technical improvements to meet modern basketball players’ demands. The cushioning system has been updated with full-length Zoom Air, offering superior responsiveness and court feel compared to the original model. Strategic adjustments to the shoe’s weight and support ensure it’s lighter and more adaptable for quick movements. Altogether, this edition is a tribute to Kobe’s legacy, merging timeless design with the performance technology athletes expect today, appealing to both sneaker collectors and serious hoopers alike.
