Kobe was a huge fan of Bruce Lee and a practitioner of his philosophy, Jeet Kune Do. Lee learnt and taught his own students to be like water—yielding and adaptive, but impossible to stop. Like Lee's transcendent fighting style, Kobe learnt to react with precision, to strike with speed and that the best defence was great offence.

Honour two legends in one with the Kobe 5 Protro 'Bruce Lee'. The colourway's yellow/black scheme also features hits of red that tie back to the original 'Bruce Lee' release in 2010. Lower, sleeker and faster-looking than before, the Protro is fitted with a large, flexible Zoom Air unit, responsive foam and scaled-down traction for optimal court feel.
