Louisiana State University (LSU) Basketball recently took to social media to share photos of three Player-Exclusive (PE) Nike Kobe 5 Protro pairs gifted to it by Nike Basketball and the Kobe Bryant Estate.
The latest example of the late NBA legend remaining relevant at all levels of the game, the recent showcase sees the hoops design from 2009 clad in the Tigers' signature colors: purple and gold.

Pairs also include LSU logos on the tongue, cementing the program within both the annals of Swoosh history and Bryant's legacy.
