First Look at the Icy Kobe 9 EM Protro “Hydrogen Blue”

Name: Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro “Hydrogen Blue”
SKU: IH1401-402
Release Date: Spring 2026

Nike is continuing its big release of Kobe Bryant shoes, and the latest is a fresh version of the Kobe 9 EM Protro. This new shoe comes in a cool “Hydrogen Blue” color scheme, designed for both serious basketball players and everyday wear. It has a clean, subtle look that’s perfect for the court or the street.

The “Hydrogen Blue” version of the Kobe 9 has a sleek look with different shades of blue and a crisp white sole. Instead of the usual Flyknit material, this shoe uses Engineered Mesh, making it lighter, more flexible, and better for airflow without losing support. As a Protro model, it features updated technology with a React midsole for a more comfortable and long-lasting feel. It still keeps the low-profile design that made the Kobe 9 a popular performance shoe when it first came out. This classic shoe is expected to be released this spring.
