Nike Brings Back the Kobe 9 Elite “Christmas”

0

After being re-introduced as part of the “Halo” series earlier this year, the Nike Kobe 9 is now set to get a full Protro run in multiple colorways. There’s no better colorway to bring back this holiday season than the Kobe 9 Elite “Christmas.”

The Kobe 9 Elite “Christmas” originally launched in December 2014, dressed in a festive red and white Flyknit upper with green accents on the heel stitching and a red/white splatter camo pattern on the midsoles. While Bryant himself was not able to debut these during the Lakers’ Christmas Day game against the Bulls due to injuries, a few of his teammates wore the shoes during the game in his honor.

Now ten years after its initial release, the Kobe 9 Elite “Christmas” is back as a remastered Protro, with modernized technology such as Nike React foam replacing the original Lunarlon. However, the overall design is left untouched, including the hidden “Mamba’s Greetings” messaging found on the back of the tongues.

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro “Christmas” drops December 12th on SNKRS and at select retailers. Check out the official images below.
