Arguably the biggest event in college sports, March Madness is just two weeks away. With that in mind, several Nike-sponsored programs expected to compete in the tournament will likely receive exclusive PE’s to lace up for the games.
As expected, Duke University’s women’s basketball team is among them. Nike consistently outfits both the men’s and women’s squads with fresh sneakers, especially for March Madness, and this year is no exception.
For the 2025 tournament, Nike delivered the Blue Devils a team-specific Kobe 9 EM (Engineered Mesh) in a crisp white and blue colorway. The design features a speckled midsole, Kobe’s logo on the tongue of the right sneaker, and Duke’s signature “D” on the left. It’s Simple. It’s Clean. It’s Effective.
Check out the sneakers in the images below, and stay tuned to Sneaker Obsession to see what other college teams may receive a special gift from Nike for the Big Dance.
