Yesterday, Nike Basketball made waves by announcing their “Champions Think” Collection, paying homage to players under the Nike, Inc. umbrella that made memorable moments during the Playoffs. While there are plenty of highlights, its hard for hoopers to not be excited about the Nike Kobe 1 Protro in the collection and its revamped hardwood capabilities.<\/p>\n
Over the last few months, the Protro<\/strong> concept has been introduced under the Black Mamba monicker leaving us to wonder if modern tooling will take to other Nike Basketball favorites from the past. Imagining what could be ourselves, here are 12 models we’d like remade and revamped under the Protro pedigree.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shoe:<\/strong>\u00a0Nike Zoom Jet Flight The original Nike Zoom Jet Flight from 2001 was the ultimate guard shoe. Lightweight in composition, low profile in regards to lockdown and court feel, the model was so minimal there was next to no room for flaws. While the Steve Nash standout would play just fine as a true to form re-release, it’d be even better as a retooled Protro. Playing up its strengths — lightweight and snug fit — we’re swapping out standard mesh for that of Nike Sphere on the sockliner and kicking heel Air Max to the curb for Vis Zoom in the heel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nNike Zoom Flight Jet<\/h2>\n
