Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro What The (2025)

The Kobe 9 Elite Protro is a high-top basketball shoe built on the 2014 original silhouette, redesigned with updated Protro technology for modern performance. This "What The" iteration blends colorways and design elements from various past Kobe 9 releases into a single pair featuring a vibrant multicolor Flyknit upper with white base, reflective silver accents, and chlorine blue pops. Equipped with Lunarlon cushioning, carbon fiber heel counter, and a specialized traction pattern, it balances on-court responsiveness with the shoe's storytelling appeal as a collector's piece celebrating Kobe's legacy.
