Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro sneaker model with the launch of the Moonwalker colorway palette. The colorway is made with a blend of Hyper Grape, White, and Cave Purple. Set to launch officially on July 12th, the model is doused in purple and black tones.
In terms of the branding accents, the Swoosh motif on the side of the shoe is complete in white for some tonal contrast. The same hue follows at the tongue section -- it all rests on top of a black midsole unit. The lacing system over the forefoot secures the foot in place in the same purple hue as the breathable upper.
