This edition of the Kobe 9 Elite honors the only NBA team that Bryant played for. Decked out in the Lakers’ purple and yellow, the elevated silhouette features a Flyknit upper fitted with Flywire cables. Carbon fiber elements appear at the midfoot and heel and on portions of the sidewall, while a Lunarlon sole brings added cushioning. The rear side of the collar is stitched with the words ‘KB NINTH,’ with additional Kobe branding on the tongue and heel.
