The Nike Kobe 9 EM “Dusty Cactus” is headed to retailers this Friday, October 3rd, 2014. The clean Dusty Cactus base might not cut it when compared to the number of pairs we’ve seen don prints and patterns throughout the summer, so the Swoosh is relying strictly on the originality of the hue and a few added features to entice you to start this weekend. For starters, there’s that unique tongue patch that skips over the Kobe shozoku logo in lieu of an interesting championship count reminiscent of vintage boxing posters with a Black Mamba call out. Add in some hints of red on the flyknit and lining and this pair is an unexpected albiet welcomed addition to the Kobe lineage. Check out more images of the latest Kobe release and let us know if you’re feeling this pair by penning your thoughts in the comments section.
