Kobe Bryant Kobe IX Elite Low Protro
Basketball Shoes
Kobe’s comeback from a torn Achilles inspired generations of past, present and future hoopers to keep fighting. This Kobe IX brings back the shoe that supported the Black Mamba during his triumphant return to the floor and gives it an upgrade. A Flyknit upper complements a springy responsive React foam in Kobe's updated low-top masterpiece.

Flyknit Upper
The Kobe IX was the first Nike basketball shoe to infuse a full Flyknit upper. It creates a seamless engineered upper that is the ultimate in lightweight performance.
Secure Fit
Cables at the laces provide a secure fit at the midfoot when you lace up.
Lateral Stability
The carbon fiber heel piece provides strong and lightweight lateral stability.
Soft Responsiveness
A Nike React foam removable sockliner offers responsive cushioning that helps your foot feel connected to the court.
Durable Traction
The pressure mapping-designed, minimal-rubber outsole delivers durable traction and mimics the natural contours of the foot.
