It is a shame that Kobe Bryant is injured at this stage in his career, especially since basketball sneaker technology is the best it is ever been. Don’t let Kobe being inactive stop you from customizing a pair of the new low top version of the Nike Kobe 9 EM.
This lowtop version of the Nike Kobe 9 has an Engineered Mesh upper so it holds color very well which is why there is close to 20 base colors available. A feature design that I like on the NikeiD Kobe 9 EM is the snake print design that you could put on the toe or Swoosh. There are also a handful of glow-in-the-dark options like the magwire, midsole paint, outsole shank, outsole, and Swoosh branding.
As an added personalization feature for those who are picking these up to hoop in or not is being able to add any 2-digit number and two separate groupings of 8-characters on the heel. Whichever number you pick will be on both shoes, but the word can be different according to the side.
The Kobe 9 Low EM is available for customization right now on the Nike iD page for $200; there isn’t any option that will raise the price of the shoe yet.
