Nike’s revamped Kobe sneaker line has gained significant momentum over the past two years, thanks to the renewed partnership with the late basketball legend’s estate. This week, Vanessa Bryant, the executor of the estate, revealed a glimpse of a new high-end version of the Kobe 9 Elite EXT, adding to the excitement for Kobe fans and sneakerheads alike.
Following a period of inactivity due to legal matters surrounding Bryant’s estate, Nike and Vanessa Bryant came to an agreement in 2022 that has ushered in a new wave of Kobe sneaker releases. The Kobe 9, initially reintroduced in a Protro form last year, is now making its return in 2025 with a fresh batch of stylish variations, including this premium edition.
Vanessa Bryant herself gave fans an exclusive look at this luxurious iteration of the Kobe 9 Elite EXT. Unlike its performance-focused predecessors, this version seems to cater more to fashion enthusiasts. The shoe swaps out the usual Flyknit construction for a refined mix of suede and leather around the collar, ensuring both style and support. Dressed in a deep burgundy red with subtle gold accents, this version offers a more upscale and sophisticated aesthetic compared to earlier designs.
As of now, there is no official release date for the premium Kobe 9 Elite EXT, but it’s expected to drop sometime in 2025. While the exact price remains unclear, this high-end version will likely be available through Nike and select retailers, with a premium price tag to match its elevated materials.
Release Details:
- Color: Burgundy Crush
- Release Date: 2025
Stay tuned for further updates, and keep an eye on the latest sneaker news as we approach the release of this luxurious Kobe 9 Elite EXT.
