The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro "Philippines" Releases November 2026
Quick Summary
- Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro "Philippines" releases November 18th, 2026 for $200 retail via SNKRS and select retailers.
- Engineered Mesh upper mixes vivid Red, Orange, and Blue with Metallic Silver Swooshes and a Black heel counter.
- First retro of the 2014 original colorway, updated with modern Protro tooling while keeping the translucent outsole.
The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro is returning in the "Philippines" colorway, a look that originally released in 2014 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's devoted fanbase in the Philippines and the country's deep-rooted basketball culture. This marks the colorway's first retro appearance in 2026, and Nike is pairing the original palette with updated Protro tooling to bring it back in line with current construction standards.
The low-top upper is built from Engineered Mesh in a vivid mix of red, orange, and blue, with darker tonal sections breaking up the pattern across the paneling. Metallic Silver Swooshes land on each side, adding a reflective contrast against the colorful base. A black heel counter grounds the back of the shoe, while red Kobe logos appear throughout. The outsole carries the same translucent finish found on the 2014 original, keeping the retro connection intact from top to bottom.
