Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro "White/Court Purple"

TLDR: The Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘White/Court Purple’ will be released on 10 July 2025 for €190 – featuring a clean mesh upper, purple accents and “Resilience” detailing. A stylish tribute to Kobe's comeback mentality and part of the new ‘Team Bank’ collection.

With the Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘White/Court Purple,’ Nike brings another colourway from the ‘Team Bank’ collection to the court – and straight into your rotation. The combination of white engineered mesh and purple details is a clear reminder of Kobe's time with the Lakers, but remains deliberately understated.

The breathable upper ensures maximum performance on the court, while purple accents on the Swoosh, tongue and heel add visual dynamism. A speckled purple midsole stripe adds a healthy dose of energy to the look. Black midsole elements bring contrast into play and round off the design in a sporty way.

A special highlight is the word ‘Resilience’ embroidered inside the tongue – a reference to Kobe's return after his Achilles tendon injury and at the same time a powerful message for everyone who wears this shoe.

The ‘White/Court Purple’ is one of five colourways in the Team Bench series, which also includes the ‘Black/University Gold’, ‘Game Royal’, ‘University Red’ and ‘Wolf Grey’. All come with an improved Protro setup and are ready for peak performance.

It will be released on 10 July 2025 at a price €190 as part of the official Team Bench collection.

You can get the Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘White/Court Purple’ via Nike.com, the SNKRS app and at selected basketball retailers. As always, Grailify will keep you up to date with push notifications and shop links about the release.
