Blending modern Protro enhancements with the bold, expressive style of the original Kobe 9, this colorway delivers a crisp and commanding look, anchored by performance excellence and design integrity.\n\nOverview\nThe 2025 Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low EM Protro ‘White Court Purple’ updates the elite basketball silhouette with a lightweight engineered mesh (EM) upper, dressed in a clean white base and accented by vivid ‘Court Purple’ detailing across the Swoosh, tongue, and inner lining. As part of Nike’s Protro (performance retro) initiative, the model is retooled with upgraded Zoom Air cushioning for enhanced responsiveness, while retaining the signature carbon fiber heel counter for optimal lockdown and support. The extended midsole and low-top profile reference Kobe’s pursuit of low-cut performance sneakers, influenced by soccer cleats and his desire for increased agility on-court. Finished with Kobe's iconic sheath logo on the tongue and a subtle marbled outsole, the sneaker continues to honor Bryant’s legacy both aesthetically and functionally.\n\nKey Highlights\n• Fresh White and Court Purple Colorway: A minimalist white upper is elevated by bold Court Purple accents, evoking a Lakers-inspired look with modern execution.\n• Protro Performance Updates: Enhanced with full-length Zoom Air cushioning and improved foam midsoles for today’s game standards, balancing comfort and explosiveness.\n• Engineered Mesh Upper: Lightweight and breathable, offering dynamic fit and comfort without sacrificing support or structure.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-retail (UA-grade), meaning these items are produced in the same factories and to similar specifications as retail versions, but are not sold through authorised brand channels, allowing us to offer them at significantly lower prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchanges:\u003c\/strong\u003e We offer a 30-day return and refund policy from the date of delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ship worldwide and offer free worldwide shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Images:\u003c\/strong\u003e All images shown are of the actual product and accurately represent what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspection Requests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-shipment inspection images can be provided upon request at checkout, which may extend processing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sole Dept is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with any brands shown, and all trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nike","offers":[{"title":"US M 4 \/ W 5.5","offer_id":54000947495230,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54007126982974,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54007127015742,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54000947527998,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54000946905406,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54007127048510,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54000946938174,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54000946970942,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54000947003710,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54000947036478,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54000947069246,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54000947102014,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54000947134782,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54000947167550,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54000947200318,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54000947233086,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54000947265854,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54000947331390,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/Nike-Kobe-9-Elite-Low-EM-Protro-White-Court-Purple-2025.webp?v=1785477938","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/nike-kobe-9-elite-low-em-protro-white-court-purple-2025","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
