Designer Eric Avar wanted the shoe to allow the foot to have its natural mobility, but also increase the strength and durability of the athlete. The Kobe 9 Elite will include these three technologies: Flyknit, Flywire and Lunarlon, making this a very light shoe. The Kobe 9 Elite will be one of the most unique shoes to ever be released.

Inspiration

When Bryant returns this season, he will wear the Nike Kobe 9 “Inspiration” in his first game back.

Perspective

This colorways pays homage to the blue period, which was a three year stretch from 1901 to 1904 in which Pablo Picasso used shades of blue and blue-green in his artwork. Bryant wanted to bring similar beauty to his craft and the “Perspective” colorway is inspired by Picasso’s excellent work and versatility.

Detail

The “Detail” colorway is inspired by Michelangelo, the Italian Renaissance who sculpted the Statue of David and also painted the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo is one of the greatest artists of all time and his work continues to inspire and influence artists to this day. Bryant was influenced by Michelangelo because of his attention to detail, which he was able to demonstrate in each and everyone of his sculptures. Bryant places an enormous amount of importance to detail, which led to the creation of this colorway.

Release Date: March 22, 2014.
