The season started with a lot of confidence and hope for the Philadelphia Eagles, but halfway through the season, Philly fans have turned their entire focus to the NBA. Hey, at least LeBron brought his talents to Broad Street. But while Jalen Hurts takes the rest of the year off and fans continue to wonder what kind of mismanagement led to the star QB’s blood clot issues, Nike is still giving Philly faithful at least one thing to look forward to.

There’s Always Next Year

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Eagles has been on our radar since Vanessa Bryant first previewed the colorway in July, when the Birds’ Super Bowl hopes were still alive. Now, with the colorway arriving at retail in January, a new leaked image set gives us our clearest look at the pair yet.

Featuring rough green suede on the toebox and side panel base, the lace panel, vamp, and side panel supports switch to premium white leather. The tongues switch to white mesh, with a darker shade on the sockliner and the same shade on the shiny heel bumper. The Swoosh switches to thick grey terry cloth, with a white embroidered border.
