Nike Kobe IX (9) Elite “Draft Day” First Look

by Jumpmankicks on March 3, 2014 at 9:55 pm
Posted In: Kobe, Nike

Here’s an early look at the Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Draft Day”, created to pay tribute to Kobe’s entry into the NBA. Many of you are probably wondering, why blue and purple instead of purple and gold? The answer is simple, Kobe Bryant was originally selected by the Charlotte Hornets during the 1996-97 NBA draft, and believe it or not, as the 13th pick. Unfortunately for the Hornets, they made the unwise decision of trading Kobe to the Los Angeles Lakers for aging center Vlade Divac. The rest as they say, is history.

The Kobe 9 “Draft Day features the usual Flyknit upper, complemented with turquoise accents and matching laces, as well as purple graphics. There’s no official release date as of yet, but stay tuned for an update shortly.

Nike Kobe 9 (IX) – First Look

by Jumpmankicks on November 20, 2013 at 11:11 pm
Posted In: Air Jordan, Kobe, Nike

Here’s a first look at what looks to be Kobe Bryant’s newest basketball sneaker, the Nike Kobe 9. As you can see, Nike has ditched the old lowtop Kobe design to return to its high top roots. This model sports an Engineered Mesh upper as well as carbon fiber on the midsole. The overall design is somewhat reminiscent of the Air Jordan XX8. This change is most likely to support Kobe’s Achilles injury at the end of last season. With the Mamba’s recent return to practice, we should be seeing the Kobe 9 on the court any day now.
