Kobe Bryant is the only NBA player to do a lot of things, including having the only Nike Elite version of a signature sneaker (made specifically for the Playoffs) carry over into a new basketball season from the previous. Ever since returning to the active list, the Swoosh has kept a steady stream of new pairs of the Black Mamba’s tallest shoe ever releasing; this new ‘Sequoia’ edition being the latest.
Nike color blocked the ‘Sequoia’ Kobe 9 Elite perfectly for the Thanksgiving holiday and looks appropriately Fall as the woven Flyknit displays the tonal colors very well. A blatant “Thanksgiving” nickname but the Swoosh got creative on this one and rightfully so; this is one of the better high top Kobe colorways.
The ‘Sequoia’ Nike Kobe 9 Elite releases on Wednesday, November 26th (on the Nike webstore at 8 AM EST) for $225.
