This Holiday 2024 season brings with it a special celebration as the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro “Christmas” commemorates its 10th anniversary. The much-anticipated return of this iconic sneaker is set for December 12, 2024, offering both long-time fans and new enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of basketball history.
Originally released on December 26, 2014, the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro made an unforgettable debut when members of the Los Angeles Lakers showcased them during a Christmas Day game against the Chicago Bulls. Although Kobe Bryant did not play in that game, the sneakers quickly captured the attention of the public with their striking design and superior technology. Ten years later, the reissue of these sneakers not only pays homage to their initial impact but also revitalizes their legacy with modern enhancements.
The 2024 edition of the Kobe 9 Elite Protro “Christmas” features a dynamic color scheme of Bright Crimson, Black, and White, mirroring the joyous tones of the holiday season. The upper is adorned with Crimson Red and White Flyknit details, reminiscent of traditional Christmas stockings. Complementing this is a patterned outsole that reflects the same festive palette. Integrated Flywire technology provides essential midfoot stability, while the silhouette’s sleek Black Swoosh and prominent Mamba branding add distinctive touches to the overall design. A sock-like construction ensures a comfortable, secure fit.
The sneakers will be available at selected Nike Basketball retailers, both in-store and online. They are priced at $240 USD, maintaining the same elite standards of quality and performance expected from Nike’s exclusive releases.
As the release date approaches, enthusiasts of the series and collectors alike are invited to partake in the celebrations, reliving the magic of their original unveiling and enjoying the contemporary features that this anniversary edition has to offer. The return of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro “Christmas” is not just a nod to the past but a continuation of its legacy, ready to make waves both on and off the basketball court.
