Honestly no introduction is needed for these at this point. Aside from the Nike Kobe 9 EM each silhouette for Kobe Bryants 9th signature shoe has been dope. When I first saw the Nike Kobe 9 MID EXT ‘Black Mamba’, it was like a love at first sight thing. Straight up a dope shoe and I cant wait to see more colorways, I hope they keep the snakeskin material on them though.
Anyway releasing this upcoming weekend take a look at the Foot Locker release details and let us know if they are a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
Following a groundbreaking introduction, utilizing a Flyknit construction for the first time on-court, the Nike Kobe 9 has been remade for everyday wear. Built like the Black Mamba himself – stealthy yet aggressive – the Kobe 9 Mid Ext. brings the popular performance model to the streets. The design embodies Kobe Bryant’s alter-ago with a subtle, snakeskin-embossed leather upper. Paired with chrome accents along the midsole, reflective detailing brings a stand-out touch to an otherwise understated design. Tying the design together, the gum rubber outsole makes it ideal for off-court trekking, with a look as lethal as the Mamba’s venomous strike. If you’re interested in copping a pair this weekend check out our store release details below. This release will not be available on Footlocker.com.
