Description
The fan-favorite silhouette, which was Kobe’s ninth signature, originally dropped in a “Christmas” colorway back in December 2014. Notably, the pair gained attention when the Lakers players wore them against the Chicago Bulls on Christmas day that year.
Adorned in a vibrant Bright Crimson, Black, and White color palette, these sneakers boast Crimson Red and White Flyknit accents on the upper, echoing the festive hues of Christmas stockings. The outsole’s pattern, inspired by the same colors, complements the overall design.
Further elevating the pair are the embroidered black Swooshes and matching black Kobe logos on the tongues. Additionally, the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro “Christmas” will feature updated tech and modern materials, as well as a carbon fibre plate below.
Additional details include the subtle use of green on the foam insert, outsole and heel notches to round off the Christmas vibes.
Why are Kobe shoes so good?
Compared to other Nike signature shoes, the line designed for Kobe has always focused on sports performance rather than the aesthetics of Instagram or endorsements of rappers. Since Bryant switched from adidas to Nike in 2003, his signature shoes have become synonymous with performance and attention to detail
