{"product_id":"nike-kobe-9-em-low-protro-tb-black-university-gold","title":"Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro TB 'Black University Gold'","description":"The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro TB 'Black University Gold' revives one of Kobe Bryant’s most performance-focused silhouettes, now updated with the lightweight feel and refined detailing of a Protro edition. Designed to honor Mamba’s relentless spirit and court dominance, this iteration blends technical excellence with bold, unmistakable color blocking.\n\nOverview\nOriginally released as part of the Nike Team Bank (TB) series, the Kobe 9 EM Low Protro features an engineered mesh upper that delivers breathable lockdown for serious hoopers. Dressed in a sleek \"Black\" base, this colorway is punctuated by vibrant \"University Gold\" accents across the Swoosh, Kobe tongue logo, Flywire cables, and outsole. The low-cut profile was engineered to mimic the biomechanical precision of a boxer’s shoe, providing full range of ankle motion without compromising support. The upgraded Protro tooling modernizes the midsole with more responsive Zoom Air cushioning, while the outsole’s anatomical traction pattern ensures multidirectional grip. A true blend of heritage and innovation, this Kobe 9 EM Low Protro TB remains a staple for both on-court dominance and off-court statement.\n\nKey Highlights\n• Team Bank Series Design: Originally released as part of Nike’s TB pack, made for team matching and performance consistency.\n• Engineered Mesh Upper: Lightweight and breathable with Flywire cables integrated for dynamic lockdown.\n• Black and University Gold Colorway: Contrasting palette that channels Kobe’s signature Laker energy with a bold twist.\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":54007251337534,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54000952017214,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54007251370302,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54007251403070,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54000952049982,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54000952082750,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54000952115518,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54000952148286,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54000952181054,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54000952213822,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54000952246590,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54000952279358,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54007251435838,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54000952312126,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54000952344894,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54000952377662,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54000952410430,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54000952443198,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/55057_1754265623_08042025120023.webp?v=1785477951","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/nike-kobe-9-em-low-protro-tb-black-university-gold","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
