Feel the festive spirit on the basketball court as the Nike Kobe 9 EM Low “China” returns in 2025. This special-edition colourway debuted in 2014 during the RISE Basketball Campaign in the Greater China region, wherein Kobe Bryant spent some time training and giving young athletes lifelong lessons and lasting memories.
This low-cut basketball shoe features a vibrant red hue on the engineered mesh upper, reinforced with fuse overlays and midfoot Flywire cables. Luxe gold Swooshes adorn the quarter, complementing Kobe’s signature on the lateral panel. The trademark sheath logo decorates the tongue, accentuated with intricate patterns inspired by Chinese culture. The nine lines on the heel represent the stitches on the Black Mamba when he sustained a torn Achilles injury in 2013. Speckles on the midsole add flair to the vivid colour scheme, propped up by a white anatomical-inspired rubber outsole. A plush drop-in insole provides superior cushioning and responsiveness to help you drive past every defender.
