This model, known for its high-top design and Flyknit construction, offers an innovative mix of support and flexibility. The “What The” iteration takes this a step further by incorporating a collage of vibrant colors and patterns, drawing inspiration from various iconic Kobe 9 releases. The shoe features a mix of bold hues and intricate designs, creating a visually striking sneaker that stands out both on and off the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance-wise, the Kobe 9 Elite High Protro “What The”<\/strong> will boast upgrades to its performance features, further keeping the Kobe 9 Elite a favorite among athletes. The original Lunarlon cushioning is replaced with a drop-in React foam for improved comfort and responsiveness. Additionally, a full-length Zoom Air unit is added for superior impact protection and energy return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark your calendars as the Nike Kobe 9 Elite High Protro “What The”<\/strong> will return for Summer 2025 via Nike.com<\/a> and select retailers for $300. Keep it locked to our Sneaker Release Dates Calendar<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n
