Nike Revives Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective” in Protro Low Form for Holiday 2025

Nike is set to revive a fan-favorite from Kobe Bryant’s storied signature sneaker line with the return of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro “Perspective” for Holiday 2025, as per Sneaker Market.

Originally released in 2014 as a high-top, the shoe stood out with its bold Neo Turquoise and Volt color scheme. Now, over a decade later, Nike is bringing the vibrant design back in a low-top form, staying true to the Protro ethos of modernized performance upgrades while maintaining the DNA of the original.

The Kobe 9 Elite was a groundbreaking model when it debuted, pushing the boundaries of basketball footwear with its high-cut design and Flyknit construction. While the Protro version will arrive in a lower profile, the defining details of the "Perspective" colorway are expected to remain intact. A rich Neo Turquoise hue should dominate the upper, contrasted by striking Volt accents on branding elements, set against a backdrop of black trim to balance the bold palette.

With early mock-ups giving a rough idea of what to expect, sneakerheads can anticipate official images to surface as the release date approaches. \

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro “Perspective” is expected to drop during Holiday 2025 at select retailers and via Nike.com. Stay tuned to our dedicated Nike Release Dates Calendar for further updates.
