This Kobe IX Low was made for the basketballers of the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL).
They sport a racer blue knit upper with metallic silver Swooshes adorning the sides. Perched atop the black, iridescent tongue is a Kobe signature and Kobe logo, while at the rear heel are 9 alternating turquoise and peach hashes. Backing the tongue is a series of numbers, which includes “07.18.2022”, which is the day that Kobe played at Rucker Park and was dubbed “Lord of the Rings.”
Underneath resides a white midsole and black rubber outsole.
At this time there is no indication of a planned retail release.
