This is the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro, a pair of men's basketball shoes we hold in 3 colourways and US 7 to 13.
Plenty of court models get worn as everyday shoes, which is fine, but concrete wears a court outsole far faster than a timber floor does. If you play seriously, keeping one pair for the court and another for the street is the practical approach and costs less over a season than replacing a single pair twice.
Cut height is about feel rather than protection. A high top wraps above the ankle and feels locked in, adding some weight and restricting a little movement. A low top is lighter and freer. Research has not settled whether high tops prevent ankle injuries, and we will not claim they do: choose the cut that feels secure and lets you move the way you play.
Colourways include Light Silver / Steam / Summit White; Orange Frost / Ice Peach / Brilliant Orange; Thunder Blue / Daybreak / Laser Orange. We are an independent retailer rather than an authorised stockist, and this product is made by the brand named on it.
