Are you a Philadelphia Eagles fan? Well, Kobe Bryant certainly was, and Nike is paying tribute to his love for the team with the Kobe 5 Protro “Eagles.” Kobe’s reaction to the Eagles winning the Super Bowl in 2018 while holding his daughter Bianka is still one of the most memorable moments from that night.

The shoe also has a deeper connection to Kobe and his daughter Gianna. In one of the last public photos of them sitting courtside together at a Lakers game, Kobe was wearing an Eagles beanie. That moment gives this Kobe 5 Protro a little more meaning beyond its Philadelphia-inspired colors.

Vanessa Bryant previously shared an early look at the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Eagles” alongside other upcoming releases. The shoe uses the team’s throwback Kelly Green color across the suede upper and synthetic heel cup, matching the Eagles’ classic uniforms.

Dark grey chenille Swooshes appear on the sides, with the textured material giving the logos a look similar to the team’s bird emblem. White accents are used throughout the rest of the shoe, keeping most of the attention on the green upper.
