The illustrious history of the Long Angeles Lakers franchise is one of the most well documented records in all of sports. From their championship winning days in Minneapolis with Clyde Lovellette, to the days in the City Of Angels with NBA superstars the likes of Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant, winning has always been a part of being a Laker (no pressure, LeBron). In honor of those first handful of years up north, the Swoosh Brand is teaming up with one of the greatest lakers ever to release a University Blue and Grey version of the Zoom Kobe 1 Protro. Utilizing a color scheme that matches the vintage “MPLS” jerseys the team once wore, each player that has their number retired by the franchise gets honored on the sneaker’s insole in a fitting gold/white color combination. Enjoy an official set of images for this honorary Kobe offering below and look forward to its arrival at Nike SNKRS on July 10th.
