Arriving during Kobe's final season, the low-cut Kobe 11 distilled his signature legacy to its essence - high performance, lightweight and sophisticated. The Kobe 11 Protro keeps those same ethos, but pushes them forward in true Mamba fashion. Kobe's famed Flyknit upper is reinforced with TPU in targeted areas for strength while preserving minimal weight. The ReactX drop-in midsole combines with a heel Air Zoom unit, delivering flexibility and responsiveness. And the outsole features a game-breaking traction pattern, keeping with Kobe's longstanding obsession with revolutionizing traction on the court.
