When the Kobe 9 made its debut almost one year ago, it took the sneaker scene by storm with its provocative design and game-changing technology – the first time we ever saw Flyknit on a basketball shoe. Now, the culmination of one of the most polarizing basketball shoes ever comes to completion with the release of the heralded ‘What The’ colorway this weekend. The Kobe 9 Elite ‘What The’ features a mashup of color and graphic elements from a variety of past Kobe 9 Elites showcasing a multicolor Flyknit upper with reflective tonal graphics, a neon, speckled midsole, and a print mélange in the inner collar. If you’re interested in adding this Kobe to your collection check out our release details below.
