One of the sneakers Luka Doncic has rocked in multiple seasons is the Nike Kobe 4 Protro sneakers.
The Nike Kobe 4 originally released for the Black Mamba’s 2008-09 season and was revolutionary for it’s low-cut design. This was a direct request from Kobe Bryant, who saw how soccer players played faster with a lower-cut boot. The Kobe 4s worn by Luka were a “Protro” version, which slimmed the heel shape and increased the range of the traction. The heel Zoom Air and soft phylon foam remained in the cushioning, providing lightweight bounce when landing on the heel. The upper features synthetic leather uppers, with Flywire panels in the midfoot for added lockdown.
Luka has mostly laced up player exclusive colorways, including an released white and turquoise pair at the 2019 Skills Challenge.
You can find the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 at StockX, GOAT, Stadium Goods, and Flight Club.
