Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro “Philippines” Design
The Nike Kobe 9 EM “Philippines” first arrived in 2014. It was a Kobe Bryant release that became one of the most sought after of its era.
The red, white and blue palette nods to the Philippine flag. Multicolor detailing across the forefoot references the jeepney, the country’s brightly painted public transport, and its painted outdoor courts. Designer Erick Goto created the multicolor graphic print. The outsole is partly translucent, and a tsinelas graphic shows through the rubber.
Does It Come in Kids’ Sizes?
Yes. Official images show a grade school version, which reports list at $120 or $125.
