KOBE IX ELITE LOW PROTRO 'HALO' - 09 19 24

Kobe’s comeback from a torn Achilles inspired generations of basketball players to persevere. The Kobe 9 reintroduces the shoe that supported the Black Mamba during his victorious return to the court, now with some modern enhancements. The Flyknit upper pairs with springy, responsive Nike React foam in this updated low-top design. The Kobe 9 was the first Nike basketball shoe to feature a full Flyknit upper, creating a seamless, engineered design that keeps the shoe lightweight. Cables integrated into the lacing system offer a secure midfoot fit. A carbon fiber plate in the outsole ensures strong, lightweight lateral stability. The Nike React foam removable sockliner provides responsive cushioning, helping your foot stay connected to the court. Additionally, the pressure-mapped minimal-rubber outsole delivers durable traction and mirrors the natural contours of the foot.
