The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro ‘Christmas’ brings back one of the most popular designs from Kobe Bryant's ninth signature silhouette. The shoe was originally released on 26 December 2014 and worn by Lakers players when Kobe himself was out due to injury. Now the sneaker is making a comeback for its 10th anniversary and remains true to its iconic style.

The upper is made of bright red Flyknit with white and black details, inspired by the colours of festive Christmas stockings. Flywire technology ensures a stable fit, while the sock-like construction offers optimum comfort. The sole features an eye-catching mosaic design in red, white and green, while the nine stripes on the heel are reminiscent of Kobe's Achilles injury. Modernised technologies such as the improved Flyknit quality and a carbon fibre plate take the Protro version to a new level.

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro ‘Christmas’ will release on 12 December 2024.

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro ‘Christmas’ will be available online at Nike.com and at select retailers. For the latest updates and purchasing options, it's worth following the releases with Grailify!
