Nike Kobe 5 Protro Mamba vs. Diamondback: mismatched preview and February window
· By Redacción HYPEIBIZA
The Kobe 5 Protro is reported as part of a four-shoe Mamba vs. Diamondback pack expected around the 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. Marketplace listings show 13 February 2027, but that is not a confirmed Nike release date.

Style IU7424-001 identifies the Nike Kobe 5 Protro in the Mamba vs. Diamondback colourway. The reported pack also includes a Kobe AD Protro, a Dunk Low Protro and an Air Force 1 Low.
A Phoenix theme in black, red and khaki
The reported palette for this Kobe 5 is black, Chile red and desert khaki. The pack name sets Bryant’s Black Mamba against Arizona’s diamondback rattlesnake because the 2027 game is in Phoenix.
In the leaked preview, one shoe has a tan graphic base and a black side panel; the other reverses that layout. The side Swoosh has a red outline, while the interior marks alternate between cream and black; the upper graphic shows no readable snake.
Bryant last played in Phoenix during All-Star Weekend in 2009, a detail that adds context to the pack’s return to the city.
