The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro "Black Gold" brings back one of Kobe Bryant’s most iconic silhouettes with a modern performance upgrade. This edition features a sleek engineered mesh upper in all-black, delivering lightweight breathability and a streamlined look. Metallic gold accents on the Swoosh and tongue branding add a striking contrast, highlighting the shoe’s premium finish while paying tribute to Kobe’s championship pedigree.
True to the Protro line, this release updates the original 2014 design with improved cushioning and responsiveness for today’s game. The Lunarlon midsole and Zoom Air unit provide enhanced comfort and court feel, while the outsole retains its signature pressure-mapped traction pattern for elite grip and multidirectional control. Stylish yet performance-driven, the Kobe 9 EM Low Protro "Black Gold" is a fitting homage to the Black Mamba’s relentless pursuit of excellence both on and off the hardwood.
