Earlier this Summer, Laker legend Kobe Bryant took a trip to China and hit the court to play a few pick-up games with some of the countries top playground hoopers. Footage surfaced of the Black Mamba’s time in China, showing him rocking a red colorway of the low Kobe 9 silhouette; which had sneaker heads in frenzy hoping for a release date. This weekend Nike Basketball and the shoe gods answers our prayers, dropping off the exclusive “China” rendition of Kobe 9 lows. The kicks features a predominately red upper with gold and black accents throughout the model.
The “China” Kobe 9’s will be available August 30th over at the Nike online shop and select sneaker retailers. Check out some detailed images after the jump
