Kobe A.D. Protro
Basketball Shoes
Coming Soon
Originally released in 2016, the Kobe A.D. Protro is rebuilt for the pace, pressure and precision of today's game. A puck-shaped pod of ZoomX foam in the forefoot pairs with a React midsole to deliver explosive responsiveness every time you plant, cut and attack. A widened forefoot helps bring a more comfortable fit, while the lightweight upper and Mamba-approved elite traction pattern are re-tooled to keep your footwork sharp from first touch to final bucket.

Shift Comfortably
A ZoomX foam puck in the forefoot offers amazing cushioning and comfort with every move. A credit-card shank plate in the midfoot helps keep you stable when making sudden, shifty moves.
Lock in
The embroidered textile upper offers lightweight containment. A TPU rand around the heel is softer and more flexible than the original Kobe A.D. too.
Stick and Move
We upgraded the herringbone traction pattern in the forefoot and added traction wrapping up the sidewalls for elite, sticky on-court bite.
Explode to the Rim
A lightweight React midsole helps provide responsiveness and all-game effort. A heel Air Zoom unit provides bounce and support.
Lace up
The lightweight and low-profile construction features Dynamic Flywire cables for maximum lockdown.
