Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low “Black/Gold” Releasing Fall 2025

The Kobe Protro line continues to capture attention as one of the most exciting storylines in basketball sneakers. Nike rejuvenates some of the most iconic models from the legendary player's career. The latest to be revived is the Kobe 9, and the buzz surrounding it has been growing. Several colorways are slated for release, including the "Black/Gold" edition, which is expected to drop in Fall 2025, as per zSneakerheadz + Sneaker Files.

Black has been a staple in many Kobe releases, but this iteration’s use of gold accents on a black upper sets it apart, offering a more refined aesthetic. This version could be inspired by the OG "Fundamentals," or perhaps it signals the possibility of a tribute to Kobe’s Mambacita line, but we’ll have to wait for further details to confirm.

This release is just one of many Kobe 9 retros that Nike will bring back in 2025. The “What The” and “Beethoven” editions are already confirmed, making 2025 a huge year for the Kobe 9.

While we’re still waiting for more information regarding the layout and full inspiration behind the “Black/Gold” pair, it’s clear that Nike is committed to giving the Kobe 9 a long-lasting legacy in the Protro series.

Expect further details to be reflected on our dedicated Nike Release Dates Calendar.
