TLDR: The Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘China’ is coming back on 22 November 2025 – just like the original from 2014. The sneaker is bright red, has gold accents and a new Protro update. It costs €190. As always, you can find all the info and where to buy it at Grailify.

For the ‘Year of the Mamba,’ Nike is bringing back a real fan favourite: the Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘China.’ Originally released in 2014, the sneaker is now making a comeback. It still looks like the original, but features the latest technology that is in demand today.

The upper is made of breathable engineered mesh in bright red, combined with gold accents on the Swoosh, the Kobe signature lettering on the heel and floral embroidery on the tongue. The toe box and side panels feature a red and gold colour gradient, and the nine gold stitches on the heel symbolise healing and resilience. This is a tribute to Kobe's comeback mentality.

The Protro update improves cushioning for performance on the court or a relaxed lifestyle. The retro version is available in men's and GS sizing to suit the global fanbase.

When will the Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘China’ be released?

The sneaker will hit stores on Saturday, 22 November 2025, for €190 for adults. GS sizes will cost around €120.

I would like to know where I can buy the Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro ‘China’.

You can get the sneaker via Nike SNKRS and also in selected shops. If you need more information about Kobe retros and the Year of the Mamba, check out Grailify. There you will always be up to date.
