“The KOBE 9 Elite Low Beethoven pays tribute to the German composer and pianist, and more specifically the power of his Ninth Symphony from the early 1800s. The grey color of this colorway represents Beethoven’s timeless quality” – Nike

Nike draws inspiration from the legendary pianist’s legacy which stands as possibly the greatest of all time and they feel the perfection of legacy defines everything Kobe Bryant is striving to achieve. In Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony during the fourth movement of the symphony or fourth part of the story the song is telling, is the song “Ode to Joy” which could be a celebratory theme of the success Kobe Bryant has had in his career so far.
