The Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Influence” will hit Nike.com this coming Saturday, June 21st at 8AM. The sneaker was originally thought to be an exclusive to Europe as the colorful Kobes were released there first, but with the news of the U.S. release came later on much to the satisfaction of stateside Kobe fans. The wild colors could have a connection to the World Cup Games, and considering Kobe Bryant’s passion of the international sport, the “Influence” could be from that second love. Stay tuned for the release of this incredible Kobe 9 and let us know if these are a must-have for you.
