Styled just like the pair that the Black Mamba wore when he torched Jalen Rose and the Raptors, the kicks consist of a white leather upper accompanied by a black Nike swoosh with purple detailing throughout the midsole and ankle collar. San Antonio Spurs All-Star DeMar DeRozan re-introduced the kicks during a recent game against the Memphis Grizzlies, though he fell 72 points shy of Kobe's mark.
According to Nike, the Kobe 1 Protro "81-Point Game" be available via SNKRS North America, Nike.com and at select retailers globally. The kicks will retail for $175.
