Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro 'Team Bank' Collection Revealed

The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro is making a comeback this fall as part of a five-piece 'Team Bank' Pack. Following the momentum of the Kobe 8 revival, this release brings a fresh selection of team-based colorways perfect for both competitive hoopers and Kobe collectors. The collection includes five colorways: 'Game Royal,' 'University Red,' 'Wolf Grey,' 'Lakers Home' in white, and 'Lakers Away' in black, each featuring breathable engineered mesh uppers that strike a balance between durability and lightweight performance.

This reissue differs from the Flyknit-constructed Kobe 9 Elite by sticking to a lower cut and focusing on refined on-court performance. The original Lunarlon cushioning has been phased out in favor of modern full-length React drop-ins for a smoother, more responsive ride. Whether you're gearing up for the season or adding to your Kobe rotation, the Protro version of the Kobe 9 EM Low delivers the perfect fusion of legacy design and modern tech, and the 'Team Bank' collection will begin releasing in August.
