Excerpt from ‘Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro ‘Chaos’ Release Details And Official Images’ article by Matthew Moreno:
Nine years after one of his more heralded signature shoes released, the Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro ‘Chaos’ hits shelves Friday morning at select retailers, the SNKRS app and Nike.com.
Kobe Bryant unveiled the ‘Chaos’ colorway — inspired by Heath Ledger’s Joker character from “The Dark Knight” — against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day in 2009. The shoe released early the following year.
Bryant scored 35 points and shot just 11-of-33, but add 10 rebounds and 8 assists in a 102-87 loss. Of course, Bryant and the Lakers went on to defeat the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, and he did so a ‘Big Stage’ version of the Kobe 5.
Like with other models from Bryant’s Protro line, the Kobe 5 ‘Chaos’ returns with improved technology. Namely a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot that is 100% larger than what was featured in its predecessor.
The iconic model also has been upgraded to have a simplified construction for a softer feel while maintaining support and increasing impact protection. New tooling also has the shoe designed with softer foam in the midsole and a scaled down traction patter to improve grip.
