Easily one of the most-anticipated releases of the year to date, the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low “Beethoven” has been a long time coming. After the Flyknit-constructed Nike Kobe 9 was first seen in the demanded low-top form back in April with the elusive “HTM” designs, then inaugurated to the public in all-purple, this upcoming release is the first time the threaded convertible will hit stores in a neutral style code. Drawing inspiration from Beethoven’s famous “Ninth Symphony”, Kobe Bryant’s ninth Nike is rolled out in a monochrome makeup. White and black threads are knitted together on the upper, while a speckled midsole and a wolf grey outsole finishing off the beautiful composition. Get a detailed look at the upcoming release below, and take in a pair when they drop on August 16th for $200.
