Nike Basketball and Undefeated have come together to celebrate Kobe Bryant's birthday with the Nike Kobe 4 Protro Undefeated "Suns". This sneaker is part of a collaborative effort by Nike and the LA-based streetwear brand to honor the legacy of Kobe Bryant for this year's Mamba Day. The orange and purple colorway pays homage to NBA rising star and Team Kobe player Devin Booker. As part of the Protro Series, this Kobe 4 features improved technology, a modernized upper, and revamped materials. The shoe boasts an orange iridescent patent leather upper enhanced with Flywire technology and contrasted with purple accents. The signature Kobe logo and the Undefeated 5 strike logo are displayed on the tongues, while a Zoom Air cushioned midsole and the iridescent Undefeated logo with the numbers "8" and "24" on the heel honor Kobe Bryant’s legacy. These sneakers were released in August 2019.
