As the crescendo of March Madness draws near, Nike has unveiled a bespoke tribute to the Duke Blue Devils women’s basketball team: the exclusive Kobe 9 EM Duke PE. This player edition, a symbol of both performance and prestige, will accompany the team’s quest for victory during the NCAA tournament.

About the Nike Kobe 9 EM “Duke” PE

The Nike Kobe 9 EM “Duke” PE’s design embodies a blend of technical precision and aesthetic refinement. Firstly, its white mesh upper, reinforced with Flywire cables, provides a secure and adaptive fit. Next, Duke’s signature blue hues are artfully deployed across the Swoosh, midsole, and Flywire accents. Contrasting black details on the outsole and lining lend a more sophisticated edge.

Finishing off the pair, Kobe Bryant’s iconic signature logo graces the right tongue, while Duke’s “D” emblem graces the left tongue.

Release Details

While these Nike Kobe 9 EM “Duke” PE remain exclusive to the team, they serve as a harbinger of Nike’s planned resurgence of the Kobe 9 in 2025. The forthcoming Protro releases include the highly anticipated “Moonwalker”, “Beethoven”, and “China” editions.
