Honor a legacy of strength and awareness with the Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Kay Yow Think Pink." This 2021 release pays tribute to the legendary NC State coach Kay Yow and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, continuing a storied tradition of pink-themed performance silhouettes. The upper features the iconic "snake-skin" polyurethane islands in a vibrant Pink Blast, providing the textured aesthetic and durability the Kobe 6 is known for. A crisp white Swoosh and midsole offer a clean contrast, while the metallic silver heel counter adds a touch of premium flair. Engineered for the modern game, the "Protro" (Performance Retro) edition is updated with a large, flexible Air Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot and a responsive foam midsole. With the Kay Yow ribbon logo subtly placed on the lateral heel, these sneakers are a powerful statement of support both on and off the court.
