Nike Kobe 9 First Official Look

The moment all of you sneakerheads have been waiting for is finally here, the Nike Kobe 9 has officially been unveiled to the sneaker world. Sporting a sleek high-top design that wraps the ankle, the Black Mambas ninth signature shoe is also equipped with Flyknit technology along with a carbon fiber midsole. Having clearly abandoned the low-top trend that inhabited quite a few of the more recent Kobe sigs, the Nike Kobe 9 is truly a masterful creation. According to Nikes very own Heidi Burgett, the inaugural “Masterpiece” colorway for the Kobe 9 is set to hit retailers on February 8th. From the looks of the photos below, Kobe season is steadily approaching. Check out your very first official look at what’s to come and be sure to drop us a line in the comments section below.

  35. My first reaction when I saw the leaked pics last week: Kobe switched to WBA? Liking them a lot, they’d look great in all-black!

  94. They’re made to help protect his injured foot,not to keep the fashion police off his ass! 1 thing for sure, you definitely can tell who buys shoes to hoop in and who buys them to look good in.

  147. No, what I’m saying is when I was in high school 20 years ago the shoes I did buy to hoop in wasn’t bought to look good in.and no every pair of shoes I bought wasn’t for hooping.all I was saying was nike had comfort and support on their minds more than style.I have beem wearing Jordan since 85 and I have a 21yr old son so I know at 90% of people buy shoes to floss in!

  148. All I was saying was nike was not thinking fashion when they was designing those shoes mr.simpson. and as for b ball skills!not even go start a conversation on that cuz me talking about something I did years ago is pointless!

  162. everybody keeps talking about technology, nike just keeps finding cheaper ways to make these shoes and charge more and more because of their superstar athletes and hype. I mean a lunar foam insert? no zoom , no regular air no nothing? and charging 200 plus? gtfoh
