Nike Kobe 9 Protro ‘WNBA’

$190Style IM6119-800
Nike Kobe 9 Protro ‘WNBA’

Nike continued its WNBA tribute line on the Kobe 9 Protro for May 2026, an orange colorway that honored the league for the second consecutive year while presenting the shade in a notably more subdued tone than the previous edition. Kobe Bryant’s deep connection to women’s basketball made the WNBA colorways on his shoes feel particularly meaningful.

The Kobe 9 Protro’s distinctive high-top knit upper and the model’s exceptional cushioning platform made it one of the most technically sophisticated shoes in the signature basketball lineup. The WNBA colorway added narrative significance to a silhouette that already carried plenty of weight.

The Nike Kobe 9 Protro WNBA retailed at $190 and released May 8, 2026 through Nike SNKRS ahead of the WNBA season opening.
