The Kobe 4 marks its retro return in the Zoom Kobe 4 Protro ‘Draft Day’ sneaker. Released in February 2019 for NBA All-Star Weekend, this shoe is a nod to basketball history. On June 26, 1996, high school senior Kobe Bryant was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers—a move that changed the course of Bryant’s life and two NBA franchises. A White, Orion Blue and Varsity Purple color palette and the draft date embossed on the heel pay tribute to this pivotal moment in basketball history.

The Zoom Kobe 4 Protro ‘Draft Day’ is a special edition sneaker that commemorates Kobe Bryant’s initial NBA Draft selection by the Charlotte Hornets in 1996 before he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. This sneaker revisits the iconic Kobe 4 model, which is renowned for its impact on basketball footwear, particularly for introducing low-top sneakers as a viable option for serious players. The Protro version updates the original with advanced technology to meet today’s performance standards while preserving the aesthetic and historical significance of the original release.

The ‘Draft Day’ colorway features a predominantly white upper with accents of blue and teal, which are the colors of the Charlotte Hornets, symbolizing the team that originally drafted Kobe. The crisp white base provides a clean look, while the vibrant accents stand out, making the sneaker both eye-catching and meaningful. The date of the draft, “6/11/96,” is featured on the heel of the shoe, serving as a subtle yet impactful reminder of this pivotal moment in Kobe’s career.

The upper of the Zoom Kobe 4 Protro ‘Draft Day’ is crafted from a combination of synthetic materials and mesh, offering durability and breathability. This setup ensures that the shoe remains lightweight and comfortable, suitable for the high demands of basketball gameplay. Nike has integrated Flywire technology into the design for added support and a lockdown fit, enhancing stability without adding bulk.

Performance-wise, the sneaker includes a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot, providing responsive cushioning that enables quick, explosive movements on the court. The Phylon midsole offers additional comfort and support, making the shoe ideal for both competitive play and everyday wear.

The outsole features a herringbone pattern for excellent traction, a critical element for maintaining grip during fast-paced games. This ensures that the Kobe 4 Protro not only pays homage to Kobe’s legacy but also provides athletes with the necessary tools to perform at their best.

Step into a piece of basketball history with the Zoom Kobe 4 Protro ‘Draft Day’. This sneaker is perfect for those who value performance and want to honor the memory of one of the game’s greatest players. Shop today and keep the spirit of the Black Mamba alive every time you hit the court.
