The newest release in the Nike Kobe 9 line is a clean “Hyper Cobalt” colorway with a unique design perfect for the height of summer. The shoe features an engineered mesh hyper cobalt and white upper presented in an artistic design of shapes, polka dots, and checkers and topped off with a metallic gold swoosh. A photo blue midsole complements the lighter colors of the upper while the icy outsole keeps the shoe cool and styling. Mint green laces and semi-exposed Flywire reinforce the summer color theme and a white leather heel piece is elevated by the signature heel design of the Kobe 9.
