Kobe is back. This year is going to be all about the Black Mamba proving he can still compete at an elite level coming off of two back to back injuries in the face of the beginning of the end of his career. He’ll be doing so in a bevy of Nike Kobe 9 player exclusives in both the hightop variety and the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low look. Today we get a view of a brand new “Lakers Home” aesthetic, one that ditches any Hollywood gold in lieu of a simple white flyknit construction, black Swoosh, and vibrant purple accents on the outsole. How do these compare to the near-all white Kobe hightops he debuted earlier this preseason? Continue onward for the latest look at these Kobe 9 PEs and let us know what your expectations for Kobe are this year with the start of the NBA season just a day away!
