Nike excites longtime basketball fans with the first-ever Protro edition of a legendary Kobe 9 Elite Low colourway. Designed by Eric Avar, this Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Beethoven” remains one of the most notable styles in the Black Mamba’s signature basketball line with the Swoosh, revered for its clean colour scheme inspired by the Ninth Symphony of the renowned German pianist and icon of classical music.
Clad in grey, black, and white, this colourway represents the clashing colours of piano keys and musical staff. This KB9 features a lightweight Flyknit upper with supportive Flywire cables to contain your foot in every movement. A clean white Swoosh decorates the lateral sidewall, offset by the black Swoosh on the medial section for a mismatched aesthetic. Kobe Bryant’s signature and sheath logo adorn the leather tongue, whilst the nine lines on the heel panel reference the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s torn Achilles injury. Stunning speckles animate the rubber side panels, reinforced by rigid carbon fibre pieces for stability and support. The React drop-in midsole delivers plush cushioning and excellent responsiveness underfoot, finished by an anatomical outsole offering stop-on-a-dime traction.
