Nike continues its celebration of Kobe Bryant with the upcoming release of the Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro ‘Moonwalker’ this Summer. This vibrant purple colorway pays homage to both the legendary basketball player and the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, featuring a unique moon print on the outsoles. The high-top design is a standout from the Kobe line, previously introduced in 2014 with various innovative features. After the resolution with Vanessa Bryant in 2022, fans can expect more special releases, including the new Protro models that honor Kobe’s legacy. The anticipation for July 12th is building, especially as this model is represented by Caitlin Clark in Nike’s recent campaigns.
