Released in 2014 alongside the LeBron 11 Elite and KD 6 Elite, the Nike Kobe 9 Elite GS 'Hero Pack' was designed for older children. This high-profile shoe boasts the distinction of being the inaugural Nike Basketball model to incorporate Flyknit construction. Dressed in a muted Wolf Grey hue, the towering Kobe silhouette is adorned with eye-catching, vibrant accents inspired by pop art. The Lunarlon midsole not only ensures lighter cushioning but is also reinforced by a carbon fiber heel counter to enhance stability.
