Here Are the First Legit Images of the Nike Kobe 9

So it begins.

December 4, 2013
 

The Nike Kobe 9 is finally here. The sneaker has been unveiled at an insider-only event in Los Angeles, and, as speculated, it's the first high-top Kobe sneaker since the Nike Kobe 3. The sneakers have an icy sole and a flyknit upper--further building on the Kobe's legacy of using cutting-edge technology in his sneakers' uppers.

These aren't regular high-top sneakers, though. It appears to be a sock-like construction that makes up the sneaker, and isn't like anything currently on the market.

Stay tuned for updates.
