Kobe Bryant Kobe VI Protro Basketball Shoes Debuting in 2011, the Kobe VI’s lightweight and low-top design kept up with Kobe’s demanding style of play. This Protro version upgrades the original with Cushlon foam to help keep you fresh for four quarters. And, of course, we couldn't leave out the snakeskin-like print that made the VI famous.
We moved the original’s Air Zoom unit from the heel to forefoot to add speed to your game. Cushlon foam through the midsole gives you a plush feel underfoot that transitions smoothly from heel to toe. Less rubber on the outsole compared to the original Kobe VI helps enable low-to-the-ground contact while cutting down on weight.
