The 2024 edition of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro 'Christmas' brings back a retooled version of the retro silhouette. Equipped with a dramatically high-cut collar, the crimson Flyknit upper is secured with dynamic Flywire cables for improved containment through the midfoot. A black Swoosh adorns the quarter panel, matching Kobe Bryant's shield logo atop the tongue. Black carbon fiber paneling reinforces the foam midsole, featuring a camo-like pattern in white and varying shades of red. Lightweight cushioning is provided by a drop-in React foam insole, replacing the Lunarlon foam of the original.
