HTM is a design collaboration between Fragment Design founder Hiroshi Fujiwara, legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield and Nike President and CEO Mark Parker. The Kobe 9 Premium HTM brought Flyknit to the low-top version of the Kobe 9 for the first time, joining internal Lunarlon cushioning and dynamic Flywire supports. The design also includes reflective flecked laces, anodized HTM aglets, embossed snake scales and a signature HTM logo. It launched exclusively at Nike Stadium Milano and Excelsior in Milan on April 2014 before a limited July 2014 release at NikeLab in New York.
