The 2025 edition of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro 'What The Kobe' brings back the mashup design on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. Blending elements from previous Kobe 9 colorways, the high-top silhouette makes use of a white single-layer Flyknit upper with multicolor threads woven into the vamp and side panels. The vibrant hues continue on the textile collar lining and back heel, featuring embroidered detailing that symbolizes Kobe Bryant's Achilles sutures. A drop-in Nike React insole provides lightweight cushioning, while a carbon fiber heel counter delivers lateral stability during side-to-side movements.
