Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro Halo

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro Halo is an angelic tribute to the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, released on his August 24th birthday. White dominates the sneaker’s construction and symbolizes Kobe’s transition to the heavens. The Halo colorway was first seen on the Nike Kobe 8 Protro, which was released on the athlete’s birthday in 2023. The sneaker boasts an eye-catching high-top design with a lightweight Flyknit upper instead of traditional leather. The Flyknit provides a locked-in feel and is durable yet flexible. The addition of Nike React tech in the midsole allows for greater responsiveness, while the outsole is designed to mimic the natural movements of the foot. The sneaker’s commitment to maintaining its white aesthetic is notable—even the Swoosh logo and the Kobe Bryant branding on the tongue come in clean white. The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro Halo was released on August 23, 2024, and sold for $240.
