Kobe Bryant’s signature line will see the revival of the Nike Kobe 9, which will return in Protro form. For 2024, we have several color options to look forward to, including the “Halo,” “Christmas,” and “Gift of Mamba” iterations. However, in 2025, Nike Basketball will return the original “Masterpiece” Kobe 9 Elite. This marks the first time the shoes will return, allowing fans of Kobe Bryant another opportunity to purchase.

This Nike Kobe 9 comes dressed in a Black, Metallic Silver, Bright Crimson, and Volt color combination. The 2025 rendition will mimic the 2014 release, by using a Multi-Color Flyknit on the base with a Black overlay. The Swoosh in White overlays the panels, while the Kobe signature features Red and Volt adorns the shield logo. An artistic, subtle design appears on the overlays, making this pair a true “Masterpiece.” The midsole will also turn heads, as it features Multi-Color speckled accents and carbon fiber areas. Additional branding appears on the heels, which reads “KB Ninth” and has nine Red lines, which not only represents his 9th signature shoe but the Achilles surgery he had. Other details include a Lunarlon insert underfoot, and Grey on the rubber outsole with Volt.
