Nike is back at it, dressing the Nike Kobe 9 EXT in full wine-and-dine mode — literally. Forget the hardwood, this pair was built for candlelit dinners and court-side selfies.
Originally dropped in snakeskin and meant for off-court swagger, the Kobe 9 EXT sneaker now surfaces in a lavish burgundy shade. The upper flexes with premium suede and tumbled leather that whispers, “I don’t hoop, I host events.” That gold Swoosh? Pure flex. The gum sole grounds it with a clean lifestyle finish.
Shared by Vanessa Bryant herself (yes, the insider plug), this colorway isn’t playing around. It takes the bold silhouette of the high-top Kobe Bryant shoe and turns it into something straight off a Milan runway. Or at least your local fashion-forward sneaker boutique.
This Kobe 9 EXT has no official release date yet and may remain a player exclusive. However, new colorways could release later this year.
So whether you’re a Kobe fan, a fashion junkie, or both, the Nike Kobe 9 EXT in burgundy and gold is calling. And let’s be honest — you already drooling.
