The Nike Kobe 9 Elite releases that we’ve seen so far have all had a very specific theme spelled out on the inside of the sneakers – “Inspiration”, “Showtime”, “Detail”, etc. As far as we can tell the Nike Kobe 9 EM will be skipping out on that approach, so nailing down a back story will be more of a guessing game. Up next for the shoes is this May 1st release, which features a bunch of laser crimson detailing and a crackled touch for the soles. Take a detailed look at them below and let us know if you’ll be adding this Kobe 9 to your collection when they hit at Social Status.
