Kobe 9 Low Bruce Lee (Y)

 

The Kobe series have became more and more popular in the recent past. They have really expanded their shoes and their creativity has reached a new level in which no one else has seen. The Kobe series are known for their low cut narrow design that is powered for speed and quickness. Also, both versions in which they create, the basic version and the elite version differ in creativity more than usual which helps distinguish between the versions. Usually Nike will create the basic version first then wait a couple months to perfect the elite version to really show not only their originality but their vision on future creativity. Also, with creating the elite version first, some may say that the basic would be disappointing due to the less fancy style and look. With that said, the basic version of the Kobe 9 is a low cut style with a all yellow base. Red and black accent throughout the shoe. Black can be seen in the Nike logo, the laces and the sole of the sneaker. Red is found on the lace locks, the Kobe symbol on the front of the tongue and the Achilles scar on the heel of the shoe to indicate Kobe's injury like on the other version. They are vents on the side of the shoe to help for better cooling and comfort for the foot. To top the shoe off, Kobe's signature is placed towards the back of the shoe as seen before in his other numbered shoes. In my opinion, I do not like these shoes very much. I think there to plain for my liking. I feel like they don't have enough texture or coloring in them. But if you like them, they will be in stores on March 29th at a price of $160.
