The Nike Kobe Protro ’81 Points’ returns to mark 20 years since one of basketball’s most unreal nights, when Kobe Bryant poured in 81 points against the Raptors on January 22nd – the second-highest single-game scoring performance in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain. The white-heavy pair Kobe wore that night only saw a limited PE release in ’07 and one further appearance in ’19, making this year’s anniversary a rare opportunity for collectors to get their hands on the pair.
Refined for today’s game, the Kobe 1 Protro pairs the iconic white, purple, and gold colorway with modern performance updates, including a full-length Zoom Air unit and a refined carbon fiber shank for smoother transitions and responsiveness. The Protro treatment stays true to the original’s DNA while sharpening it for contemporary play.
