The Nike Kobe 9 Low EM Protro "China" marks the return of one of the most celebrated Kobe 9 colourways, originally released in 2014 and reintroduced in Protro form. Inspired by Kobe Bryant’s strong relationship with Chinese basketball culture, the sneaker combines a striking University Red engineered mesh upper with Metallic Gold and black accents, creating a bold and symbolic look.
A standout feature of the pair is the decorative dual-snake graphic on the tongue, symbolising balance and Kobe’s “Black Mamba” identity. The updated Protro construction modernises the original Kobe 9 with responsive React cushioning, lightweight support, and enhanced on-court performance while preserving the iconic low-cut silhouette that helped redefine basketball footwear.
Known for its lightweight engineered mesh build, aggressive traction pattern, and carbon-fibre support plate, the Kobe 9 remains one of the most respected performance basketball shoes in the Kobe line. The “China” edition stands out as both a collector’s piece and a performance-ready sneaker, blending storytelling, heritage, and modern basketball technology into one release.
