Update: Word of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro "Christmas" returning in 2024 was shared at the end of last year, prompting sneakerheads to prepare for a full return of the silhouette, which kicked off with the "Halo" colorway that dropped in August. Now, we have a first look at the return of the "Christmas" look as it stays true to the 2014 design with a red, black and white build that is accented by green at the heel.

Original Story: The Holiday 2024 season marks the 10th anniversary of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro "Christmas" and fans will soon be able to once again, purchase the classic shoe in the upcoming year. The sneaker originally launched on December 26, 2014 and gained attention when the Los Angeles Lakers all wore them when they played against the Chicago Bulls on Christmas Day. Till this day, the basketball shoe continues to make a lasting impression and now 10 years later, it is making a comeback in celebration of its decade milestone.

The shoe arrives in a bright crimson, black and white color palette and features crimson red and white Flyknit accents on the upper. Echoing the festive hues of a Christmas stocking, the red is seen throughout. Flywire technology is featured for a stable midfoot while the sleek Black Swoosh and Mamba branding go hand in hand.

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro "Christmas" is expected to hit retailers and online at Nike during Holiday 2024.
