About the GS Nike Kobe IX Elite "WHAT THE"
The grade-school Kobe IX Elite What The changes character when viewed from opposite sides. Orange threads dominate the outer knit panels, while green becomes more prominent on the inner side; even the outlines around the silver Swooshes switch color. A row of short colored bars runs down the tall blue heel, and the lining carries a dense mixed-color pattern.
This youth edition has a lightweight knit upper and a high collar with conventional laces climbing toward the tongue. White ridged sections wrap the toe and lower sidewalls, while the outsole uses closely spaced curved grooves around a blue heel insert.
