The ‘Hyper Cobalt’ edition of the Kobe 9 decks out Kobe Bryant’s ninth signature sneaker in a geometric design consisting of checks, triangles and polka dots. The gradient graphic darkens toward the rear of the shoe, where a leather heel panel, complete with Kobe branding, adds a solid bit of color blocking. Performance features can be found in the one-piece Engineered Mesh upper and semi-exposed mint green Flywire cables.
