Unleash your inner Mamba Mentality and dominate the game in the Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro “White Purple”. This Performance Retro version joins the all-new Team Bank lineup to match your squad’s colours, a tradition revived by the KB8 from 2024. This colourway is a tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers’ home uniforms, nodding to the only NBA franchise Kobe played for in his 20-year career.
This basketball shoe sports a clean white engineered mesh upper with internal Flywire cables for a lightweight and supportive fit. A purple Swoosh covers the lateral and medial quarter, complementing the speckles on the midsole and Kobe sheath logo on the tongue. The nine embroidered stitches on the rear panel honour Bryant’s comeback after suffering a torn Achilles injury in 2013. The React foam drop-in midsole replaces the Lunarlon from the original release, offering enhanced cushioning and shock absorption to keep your legs fresh throughout the game.
Set to launch on the Nike GB website and select UK sportswear retailers, you can find out where to buy the Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro “White Purple” by keeping it locked to The Sole Supplier!
