The Nike Kobe 9 Elite What The Kobe is a special edition shoe released by Nike as part of the "What The" collection, which combines various aspects of previous Kobe models. The Kobe 9 Elite What the Kobe features a multicolored scheme with Reflective Silver and Chlorine Blue hues. Its upper is made of lightweight and breathable Flyknit material, along with Nike's Flywire technology for added support and stability. The midsole consists of Lunarlon foam, providing cushioning and reducing impact. We particularly love the extended collar design, offering additional ankle support and protection, reinforced with Flywire cables. Released on January 11th, 2015, the retail price was $275.
