The Black Mamba may have called it quits from the NBA last season, but his impact on the game will continue. Not only will Nike be releasing the all-new Nike Kobe A.D. later this month, but Jordan Brand will also be paying their respects (a little late for that fact) with this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 9.
Inspired by the PE pair that was worn by Kobe himself, this Air Jordan 9 has been done up in Lakers colors and comes covered in White leather upper with Concord and Tour Yellow detailing on the mudguard, heel, inner liner, and the branding. A “23” has been added on the heel, even though it should have been an “8”, to cap things off.
Will this be a cop or drop come November 19th? Retail price will be $190.

Author’s Take
Couldn’t Nike/Jordan Brand have given us the Air Jordan 3 instead? Oh well, I guess. Good thing I’m not a Kobe fan. Still a solid sneaker if you are a Kobe fan.
