This is the Grade School (GS) version of the high-top performance retro model, which mashes up various signature details and colors from past Kobe 9 releases. The high-cut Flyknit upper features a white base with an array of multi-colored threads woven into the side panels, including visible green, red, and orange accents, creating an intentionally mismatched aesthetic. It features a responsive Nike React midsole for lightweight cushioning and includes Flywire cables for a secure, locked-in fit, adapting the classic "What The" theme for younger athletes and collectors.
