The 2025 edition of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro 'Masterpiece' brings back a Flyknit upper with vibrant multicolor fibers woven into the vamp and quarter panels. Nike Flywire technology brings a lockdown fit through the midfoot, while a carbon fiber heel counter offers rearfoot support and stability. Unique details include nine red embroidered details on the heel as a nod to Kobe Bryant's achilles sutures, along with a grippy rubber outsole based on the pressure mapping of Kobe's foot. This Protro version replaces the Lunarlon drop-in midsole of the original with lightweight React cushioning.
