I must need new glasses or something because apparently I am just now realizing that these are Glow In The Dark. My liking for this silhouette and this color way alike has grown even more. Yeah, yeah, yeah call me a hype beast for liking them more because of the GITD, so what. I wouldn’t have mind this Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low ‘University Red’ being a Christmas Edition but I know better than that to think Nike would make a Christmas Kobe this simple, well not simple but you guys know what I mean.
Below are some detailed pictures from Foot Locker along with their release details for this upcoming drop so if you want a pair read carefully. Let us know down in the comments if a DEF Cop or DEF Not is on the horizon for this upcoming weekend.
The “University Red” colorway is the latest colorway to join the Kobe 9 line, which has been nothing short of amazing since it’s debut earlier this year. The “University Red” colorway features a predominantly red flyknit upper that includes hints of mint accents on the heel, speckled laces, and speckled midsole, as well as a glow in the dark Nike Swoosh design. Black around the shoe on parts of the upper, outsole, and sock liner make the release clean, simple, and sophisticated. Because it is an Elite release, premium materials in addition to the Flyknit upper are used including tumbled leather on the heel and tongue and carbonfiber in the midsole. Flywire and Lunarlon – two of Nike’s premier technologies – are also incorporated into the release.
The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low “University Red” drops this Saturday, September 13th at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker, and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EDT) for $200. Check out the Launch Locator to see which store near you will be carrying this release.
