I wasn’t planning on writing any projection articles tonight but I couldn’t resist the urge of talking about the upcoming Nike Kobe 9 EM Elite pack that will be including a total of three distinct color ways. Nike continues to ride the Kobe wave heavily and rightfully so, he left his mark in every single arena in the NBA and his legacy is untouchable. He was a defender’s nightmare not only for his versatility offensively but also for his relentless desire to be a student of the game even off the courts.
Putting a pair of Kobe’s on is a privilege and this elite pack did not disappoint. If you’re looking to grab a pair of each of the variations, refer to the details below

Now let’s talk about the shoe’s resale value
Resale Value: Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro University Red
Observations
Very small dataset (5 sales), which usually means thin inventory and big price swings.
Even with fees and tax, most sizes are already nicely profitable:
10: ~+$99
11.5 (2 sales): ~+$86 avg
13: ~+$81
12: one undercut at $198 → –$11 after fees/tax (outlier low).
The story this tells: early pairs + low supply = strong bids on most sizes. But with so few prints, volatility is high—one low sale (like the size 12) can flip the math.
Conclusion — Worth reselling?
Leaning yes, especially for sizes 10, 11.5, and 13 based on current prints. If supply stays tight, prices can push higher, but don’t bank on “skyrocket” without more data. List with a firm floor (mid/high-$300s on stronger sizes), avoid chasing the lowest ask, and consider no-fee local/consignment to add ~9% back to your net.

Resale Value: Kobe 9 Elite EM Game Royal
What the data says
Mixed results across sizes. Some pairs clear profit, many are under water at current prints.
Winners:
8 (~+$79) — big one-off high sale
8.5 (~+$19 avg)
13 (~+$15 avg)
14 (~+$7 avg)
Near break-even:
9 (~–$2) and 10 (~–$0) — can flip positive with slightly higher asks or fee-free channels
Losers right now:
9.5 (~–$37), 10.5 (~–$26), 11 (~–$9), 11.5 (~–$9), 12 (~–$25), 12.5 (~–$7)
Conclusion — Worth reselling?
Selective yes. Focus on 8, 8.5, 13, 14, and watch 9/10 for quick flips above $210.
Avoid or list higher with patience for 9.5, 10.5, 11/11.5, 12/12.5 unless you have no-fee channels(local/consignment), which effectively adds back ~9% and can turn near-break-even sizes green.
