The phrase “one monkey don’t stop this show” comes to mind in reference to this new Nike Kobe X Elite colorway since Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers not making the NBA Playoffs.
Swapping the woven textile upper for Flyknit, the ‘Elevate’ Kobe X Elite has a hightop construction for added ankle protection and improved ventilation from the regular Kobe X. The outsole is said to feature hundreds of “nodules” to simulate the grip that performance racecar tires have.
Just like the other two sneakers in the ‘Elevate’ LeBron 12 Elite or ‘Elevate’ KD7 Elite, there is a slew of matching apparel for this Kobe X like a spacious Nike Elite backpack, Elite shorts, and lowtop Elite socks; all Kobe Bryant-branded.
The ‘Elevate’ Nike Kobe X Elite releases on Friday, May 15th for $225.
