The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Alternate Bruce Lee is a second Bruce Lee inspired colorway of Kobe Bryants fifth signature performance basketball shoe with Nike. Released by Nike Basketball in November 2020, the Alternate Bruce Lee colorway joins the initial yellow-based Bruce Lee design in linking two legends in their respective fields on Bryants popular hoops shoe. Whereas the Bruce Lee features the predominantly yellow look, the Alternate Bruce Lee displays a black base on the perforated toe and smooth mid-panel. Contrasting white overlays on the forefoot and eyelets balance the look and allow for the black accenting to garner attention. A red outlined white Swoosh logo can be found on either side. Additional branding appears in the form of Bryants signature in yellow text on the white TPU clip on the heel and the Sheath branding on the white tongue. White mesh detailing covers the heel and red scratch marks near the toe are in reference to the movie Enter the Dragon that Lee starred in. Release date: November 24, 2020.
