Eric Avar and Kobe Bryant teamed up to form the first high-top offering of Kobe’s signature series with Nike. The Kobe 9 Elite features Flyknit applied on the upper, which sports a greyscale pattern mixed with mesh paneling. The Flywire cables along the eyestay promote a locked-down fit, while a gold Nike logo accents the quarter panel. The midsole is composed of a hybrid cushioning system that blends Lunarlon and Zoom Air technologies.
