The long-awaited Undefeated x Nike Zoom Kobe 4 Protro Pack finally has a release date.
According to Undefeated CEO and co-owner Eric Peng Cheng, the four-shoe pack is set to release on Aug. 24 aka 8.24 aka Mamba Day. Four colorways presumably represent the hoop homes of Team Kobe members DeMar DeRozan, Devin Booker, Kyle Kuzma and pre-signature sneaker Giannis Antetokounmpo. In addition to Undefeated logos and branding, each pair features '8' and '24' numbering on the heels in reference to Kobe Bryant's soon-to-be-retired jersey numbers.
As of now, pricing and release locations haven't been announced, but we'll keep you updated with new developments in the coming weeks.
