Nike Kobe IX High EXT QS “Snakeskin”

Modeled after the Nike Kobe 9 Elite is a new high-top edition of the Black Mamba’s off-court Kobe IX EXT: a Quickstrike “Snakeskin” take on the silhouette. Eschewing the Elite’s Flyknit construction in favor of premium leather and faux snakeskin, the special release sees a predominately beige upper coupled with a gum rubber outsole, metallic silver hits to the heel counter, and black accents throughout. Capping off the design are waxed cotton rope laces and Dynamic Flywire support. A Holiday 2014 release from Nike Sportswear, the Kobe 9 High EXT QS “Snakeskin” is due to be available via Kinetics today, November 1 before making its way to additional NSW spots in the weeks ahead.
