About The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low EM Protro “Draft Day”

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low EM Protro "Draft Day" taps into the 1996 NBA Draft moment when Kobe was selected by Charlotte before his rights went to the Lakers, and the colorway brings that history alive with a teal and purple gradient upper paying homage to the Hornets. This one features lightweight Engineered Mesh construction with White midsole and branding details that keep the whole look crisp and balanced. It drops June 1st, 2026 via Nike and select Nike Basketball retailers for $190 retail, so mark your calendars and follow us on Instagram and Twitter for the full story.
