The 2024 rendition of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro 'Christmas' has an exaggerated high collar complementing a red Flyknit upper secured with Flywire cables for containment. A black Swoosh adorns the side, matching Kobe Bryant's shield logo on the tongue. Black carbon fiber panels bolster the foam midsole, which has a white-and-red camo pattern. Drop-in React foam insoles take the place of the customary Lunarlon foam, keeping every step plush and comfortable.
