Kobe's connection to China runs deep, often hosting youth basketball camps, clinics and events—securing a strong bond with Chinese fans throughout his career. An homage to China, this Kobe 9 Low Protro EM returns for the first time since 2014, featuring a vibrant University Red engineered mesh upper with Metallic Gold and black accents. The decorative 2-snake design on the tongue-top channels the concept of duality and balance.
