Nike is once again honoring the late Kobe Bryant’s legacy by re-releasing iconic models from his signature line. One of the most eagerly awaited drops is the Kobe 9 Elite High Protro “What The,” set for release in May 2025. This sneaker, known for its bold, eye-catching design and cutting-edge performance features, has remained a fan favorite among both sneaker enthusiasts and athletes.
The original Kobe 9 Elite High “What The” made its debut in 2015, garnering attention with its vibrant, eclectic color palette. The 2025 Protro version retains the mismatched design, blending a Flyknit upper with Flywire technology for enhanced support and stability, essential for on-court performance.
The design is visually striking, with a mix of fiery reds on the lateral side and calming blues and greens on the medial side. The colorful sock liner and Kobe’s signature crest on the tongue elevate the chaotic yet cohesive look, reflecting the dynamic nature of Bryant’s playing style.
In terms of performance, the Protro version brings significant upgrades. The original Lunarlon cushioning has been swapped for a drop-in React foam, offering improved comfort and responsiveness. A full-length Zoom Air unit has also been added for superior impact protection and energy return, making the sneaker a top choice for both athletes and collectors alike.
The Nike Kobe 9 Elite High Protro “What The” is set to release on May 21, 2025, at a retail price of $300. It will be available through select Nike retailers and online at Nike.com.
