The Undefeated x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “What If” Pack is a tribute to the 1996 NBA Draft and the 12 teams that passed on selecting Kobe Bryant. Released on August 27, 2020, this exclusive two-shoe pack explores the “what if” scenario of Kobe’s career with two unique colorways.
“Dirty Dozen” represents the 12 teams that overlooked Kobe, featuring a bold mix of colors like green, red, yellow, and black with gold accents to symbolize his later championships.
“Unlucky 13” draws inspiration from the Charlotte Hornets, the team that initially drafted Kobe before trading him. It showcases a white mesh upper with gold and teal accents, reflecting the Hornets' color scheme and the "what if" scenario of Kobe staying with them.
Both shoes feature gold Swooshes, translucent outsoles, and premium materials, emphasizing performance while honoring Kobe's legacy. Released during Mamba Week, the pack blends storytelling with innovative design, capturing a pivotal moment in Kobe's journey.
