Aaliyah Chavez Kicks Off a New NCAA Basketball Season with a Fresh Kobe AD Protro PE

The WNBA Finals have already proven to be everything we hoped for, and with at least three more games on the schedule leading directly into the start of the NCAA hoops season, women’s basketball fans are living our best lives. Likewise, the WNBA Finals stage and the opening week of the NCAA season mean new sneaker PEs for players from Golden State to Oklahoma.

Aaliyah’s New Kobe Colorway

In Norman, Oklahoma, Aaliyah Chavez is back on campus for her sophomore year, and the W prospect is already breaking out new pairs from her ongoing Nike Kobe PE line. In a photo shoot ahead of the Sooners’ debut against UNC at the top of November, Chavez broke out a red pair of the Nike Kobe AD Protro with bright accent colors throughout.

Starting with a shiny red shade to match her Oklahoma jersey across the one-piece upper, the front half of the midsole matches the top of the tongue in orange, with a yellow Kobe sheath logo in the middle. The midsole switches colors towards the heel, adding a jolt of bright green at the back that climbs up to the heel support.
