The Kobe 9 EM is poised to launch in another new colorway, this one ostensibly paying tribute to Kobe Bryant’s formative years, which molded him into the player he is today.
Upon first glance, it’s merely a superbly styled new colorway that sees maroon mesh paired with gold branding on the upper, nike roshe run while orange adds complementary color to the Flywire and outsole.
But doesn’t Kobe’s alma mater, Lower Merion High School, utilize that same maroon as its primary team color? And didn’t Kobe graduate from Lower Merion in 1996, a year that’s shouted-out on the gold crest that adorns each tongue? Why yes. Yes to both.
So there you have it. The Nike Kobe 9 Deep Garnet release date is set for December 13, roshe run but you could just easily as dub the shoe the Nike Kobe 9 Lower Merion — a celebration of Beef’s high school days.
