The Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro 'Hydrogen Blue' updates the low-profile silhouette with a chilly color palette. An icy blue finish is executed on the engineered mesh upper, featuring breathable perforations along the side panels. Flywire cables are integrated into the laces for a locked-in fit. Kobe Bryant's molded Sheath logo adorns the tongue, while a series of stitch lines embroidered on the back heel nod to the athlete's Achilles surgery. Performance benefits include a drop-in React foam midsole and a grippy rubber outsole with a pressure map-inspired traction pattern.
