Team Kobes. The concept seems a bit, er, perplexing given the Black Mamba’s affinity for waving his teammates off to the corners of the court and isolating (especially when you look at the Lakers roster this year) but here we are looking at another wide-reaching colorway aimed at an entire squad. It looks like the latter half of Kobe’s career is setting him up for a shoe-line post-retirement, one that has the ability to release generic colorways aimed at outfitting high school squads and non signature athletes in addition to his regular, more thought out colorways. This year it’s the Nike Kobe 9 EM’s job to hold the crew down. We got a look at two white based pairs with metallic Swoosh appeal, and now this ‘Away’ motif keeps things simple with black and metallic silver. Stick around after the break for a better depiction of what the latest “Team Kobe” release is going to look like. And just incase you can’t wait for a release date, grab this pair right now courtesy of rtur9772 on eBay.
