Nike Basketball celebrated Kobe Day this past weekend by not only introducing the Nike Kobe 9 Elite in Protro form with its “Halo” colorway, but by restocking several sought-after styles as well. Several additional releases featuring the silhouette are anticipated for the next year, including the return of the “Christmas” pair this holiday season.

Adding to the list of rumored releases, we now have information supporting the rumor that the “What The” colorway of the Kobe 9 Elite Protro will be releasing next year. Initially, EldenMonitors shared that it’s likely to return and now Sneaker Market RO has further supported the rumor’s legitimacy with info regarding its kid’s sizing. The multicolored makeover first released back in 2015 (pictured above) and is expected to sport the same look for its 10th anniversary next year.

At the time of writing, Nike has not yet confirmed that the Kobe 9 Elite Protro will be arriving in its “What The” form next year. Stay tuned for updates, including a first look at the colorway, as we currently expect it to drop alongside its Kobe 8 Elite Protro counterpart next April via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
