Nike has recently unveiled a new colorway, the Kobe 9 'Silk,' which draws inspiration from the historical Silk Road trade route connecting the East and West. This striking sneaker features an Engineered Mesh upper adorned with intricate patterns that pay homage to the renowned Dunhuang murals found in Northwestern China. Adding a touch of opulence, the shoe showcases a golden Swoosh embellishment on the sidewall, as well as a captivating snake-like design on the mudguard and heel. To complete the luxurious aesthetic, Merlot details can be found on the tongue, heel, and laces.
