Jalen Brunson, a proven winner with two NCAA championships at Villanova, has unveiled a special Nike Kobe 4 Protro PE dubbed “The Natty’s.” Known for his unwavering loyalty to Kobe Bryant’s footwear line, Brunson has consistently laced up exclusive PEs throughout his NBA career. During the 2025 All-Star Game, he was the only player rocking the all-black “Year of the Mamba” Kobe 5 Protro, further solidifying his connection to the Kobe legacy.
The Kobe 4 “The Natty’s” PE pays homage to his collegiate triumphs. The sneaker features an all-black upper with a scaly texture reminiscent of Kobe’s fierce playing style. Light blue interior lining and a translucent outsole reflect Villanova’s signature colors. A gold gradient Swoosh and Sheath logo symbolize championship glory, aligning with Brunson’s decorated basketball journey.
Brunson first wore this exclusive pair on February 26th against the Philadelphia 76ers, showcasing his elite playmaking in a crucial victory.
Despite its eye-catching design and historical significance, the Kobe 4 Protro PE “The Natty’s” will remain a player-exclusive and will not be available for retail purchase.
