Michael Le Vans is no stranger to reinterpreting their most iconic properties. Alongside deconstructing classics the likes of the Sk8-Hi, the brand has presented many a different variation of their signature checkerboard print. The newly-released Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba - Eggplant “Love Wins” is but another example of their creativity, as it turns the aforementioned pattern into something akin to a patchwork quilt.
With the exception of the sole, tongue, and laces, the Vans Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba - Eggplant “Love Wins” leaves no part of its exterior blank. The pair is filled to the brim with many a bold color, each meticulously stitched onto the upper in the general image of the checkerboard pattern. And while some may fit perfectly into the shape of a square, some threads bleed far outside their borders, resulting in an intentionally imperfect, more handmade feel.
Enjoy a look at the Vans Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro Year of the Mamba - Eggplant “Love Wins” for yourself via the retailer imagery ahead. If you’d like to add a pair to your collection, they’re available now at select retailers.
