Kobe Bryant is old and he doesn't have a lot of help. That recipe has made for a pretty frustrating season for the Laker legend, who is shooting a career-worst 37% from the field. Bryant's rough stretch continued last night, when the Lakers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder at Staples Center.

The bad news? Kobe shot just 3-for-15, scoring 9 points in the Lakers' 104-103 loss to the Thunder? The good news? He wore a great looking Nike Kobe 9 Elite PE. The high-top brings white synthetic and multicolor 'Laker' Flyknit together, along with purple Swoosh branding, a speckled black midsole and yellow outsole.

This colorway probably won't be releasing, but at least there's the Kobe 10 to look forward to.
