Get ready to see a whole lot of Nike Kobe 9s on our newswire in 2025. After anchoring around models like the Kobe 6 and Kobe 8 in recent years, Nike Basketball is turning focus to the Mamba’s ninth Nike signature in all its various profiles.

Joining team bank Kobe 9 EM Protro colorways and a growing cast of retros like the “Beethoven” and “Moonwalker” is the “Perspective” Kobe 9 from 2014 – only this time it’s been transformed into a low-top.

The Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective” originally released alongside two other high-tops inspired by Kobe’s career journey and various muses. The geometric “Neon Turquoise” and “Volt” pattern seen around the heel pulls from the work of Pablo Picasso, specifically the blue period from the early 20th century.

According to @zSneakerHeadz and @sneakerfiles, the same memorable style will be packaged into the Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro build for Holiday 2025. Official images haven’t surfaced yet, but the mockup below provides an early look at what to expect.
