With a completely unique design and the latest in Nike technology, the Nike Kobe IX Elite is unlike any basketball sneaker we have ever seen. They boast a one-piece upper Flyknit upper for a supportive and lightweight fit, carbon fiber heel clip for stability, Dynamic Flywire that adjusts when you move, resilient Lunarlon cushioning, and a pressure mapping designed rubber outsole that mimics the contours of the foot. This limited "Perspective" model was inspired by the blue period (1901-1904) of the Spanish cubist painter.
