Nike Kobe 9 EM “University Gold”

With spring finally here and summer right around the corner the Nike Kobe 9 has decided to drop the top and let it all hang out in this supremely breathable Nike Kobe 9 EM.

This iteration of the sneaker gets an engineered mesh upper for durable breathability with dynamic flywire holding the laces in place and an ultralight outsole providing the cushioning. Technical elements aside this one culls its colorway from Kobe's ongoing love affair with Bruce Lee's costume in 'The Game Of Death' by way of a high contrast university gold and laser crimson upper.

You've gotta love Kobe's consistency and user reviews have stated that these are not only fly kicks but one of the most comfortable pairs on the market. Look for them to hit shelves this coming weekend at a Nike retailer near you.
