The Nike Kobe 9 Elite What The Kobe is a special edition shoe released by Nike as part of the "What The" collection, which were sneakers that combined various aspects of previous Kobe models.

The Kobe 9 Elite What the Kobe has a multicolored scheme with Reflective Silver and Chlorine Blue hues. The shoe's upper is made of Flyknit material, which is lightweight and breathable. It also features Nike's Flywire technology for added support and stability. The midsole is made of Lunarlon foam, which provides cushioning and helps reduce impact.

We especially love the Nike Kobe 9 Elite What the Kobe for its extended collar. The shoe has a high-cut design with an extended collar that provides additional ankle support and protection. The extended collar is made of Flyknit material that is reinforced with Flywire cables for added support and stability.
