In ⁤a recent unveiling, Vanessa ⁤Bryant introduced a striking new addition to ⁣the Nike Kobe lineup ⁢with the Kobe 5 Protro “X-Ray.” This latest‌ model is inspired by the remarkable “X-Ray”‌ t-shirt that was created under​ Nike’s 2011 “Broken Not Beaten”⁢ campaign.‌ The campaign itself was a ⁢powerful tribute to⁤ Kobe⁢ Bryant’s ​relentless‌ spirit, spotlighting his hand injuries juxtaposed with images of his five NBA​ championship rings, symbolizing his‍ tenacity and ‍enduring will to⁤ triumph despite‍ physical challenges.

The “X-Ray” model of the Nike Kobe 5​ Protro ⁣sports a vivid royal blue base ⁢that resonates with ​the thematic elements of Nike’s ⁢“Skeleton” ​Air Force⁣ 1 series. The shoe is adorned with‍ a ‍detailed foot ⁢radiograph pattern,⁣ providing a unique aesthetic touch that ‍aligns with the overarching​ theme.‌ Enhancements include Baltic ⁢blue Swoosh⁣ logos outlined in crisp white ⁤and a standout feature: a glow-in-the-dark, semi-translucent‍ outsole that further accentuates⁢ the X-ray inspired ⁣motif.

Slated for ‌release on ⁣October 17, ⁤2024, the Nike Kobe 5 ⁤Protro “X-Ray” will be available through select Nike Basketball‌ retail outlets, both ⁤physical and online.
