Product Description

The Nike Kobe 9 Protro is a low-cut basketball shoe based on the Kobe 9, which first released in 2014. Its engineered mesh upper keeps the build light, while a drop-in React foam midsole, Nike's lightweight cushioning foam, returns energy underfoot. A carbon fibre plate in the outsole adds lateral stability, and a rubber outsole with multi-directional tread grips for cuts and stops. The Kobe 9 Protro is built for basketball now.

Benefits

• The drop-in React foam midsole sits underfoot for a closer floor feel during fast changes of direction.
• A carbon fibre plate works with the outsole to resist twisting during lateral cuts.
• Multi-directional tread and inner traction blades grip during stops, pivots and sharp plants.
• The engineered mesh upper reduces bulk and flexes with the foot through sprints and cuts.
