Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Oregon” surfaces

Nike’s huge catalog from Kobe releases implies an equally huge amount of unseen samples that never fell publicly. In 2019 De Swoosh created a “Black/Yellow Strike/Gorge Green” Kobe 4 Protro who wonders the Sneaker World, shown here for the first time in detail.

This combination of green and yellow “oregon”, but it is not exactly clear whether Nike meant it that way. The design recalls the “rice” series of Kobe Bryant shoes, which consists of green and yellow colors, inspired by Kobe’s Manhattan Prep School. Nike came out with “Rice Home” and “Rice Away” Kobe 4S in 2009, so could this protro be intended as a 10th birthday revival? We may never know, but it cannot be denied from the clean version of the couple. Patent leather lives on the toebox and collar, while “Gorge Green” mesh organizes a “yellow battle” Swoosh on the side panel. Green paint splatter appears on a mostly white midsole, while the primary colors alternate on the outsole.
