Our take on the Kobe 9 Elite Protro "Perspective"

The Kobe 9 Elite Protro is Nike's modern re-release of Kobe Bryant's high-top performance basketball shoe, built on a Flyknit upper with a molded heel counter and a midfoot shank. It is a guard-oriented shoe: low to the ground, light for a high-top, and cut above the ankle for support. Against today's low-top guards shoes it trades some court feel for containment and a locked-in fit. Owners of the original 9 Elite tend to rate the Protro version's cushioning and traction highly; the high collar and stiff break-in are the usual complaints.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Kobe 9 Elite line praise the locked-in fit, the light feel for a high-top and the responsive cushioning. The most common complaints are a stiff, tall collar that needs break-in and a snug fit that punishes wide feet.

What people mention
  • FitMixedThe Flyknit upper locks the foot down, but many find it runs narrow and tight across the forefoot.
  • CollarCriticisedThe tall collar is stiff at first and takes several sessions to soften.
  • CushioningPraisedThe Protro setup feels responsive and low to the ground for a high-top.
  • TractionPraisedGrip is strong on clean indoor floors.

Questions and answers

How does the Protro differ from the original Kobe 9 Elite?
The Protro keeps the Flyknit upper and high collar but updates the cushioning to a more responsive setup. It is the modern performance version of the original release.
Is the Kobe 9 Elite Protro good for outdoor courts?
It is built for indoor play. The outsole and Flyknit upper wear faster on concrete and asphalt.
Does the high collar restrict ankle movement?
It adds coverage and takes break-in time. Most players say it softens after a few sessions and does not block movement once broken in.
How does the fit run?
It runs snug and narrow. Players with wide feet often go up a half size.
Is it a good shoe for guards?
Yes. It is light for a high-top and keeps you low to the ground, though players who want maximum court feel may prefer a low-top.
Where is the Kobe 9 Elite Protro "Perspective" cheapest?
At Stadium Goods, for $158.00, as of our latest check.
