The Nike Kobe 9 Elite silhouette has been a favorite ever since it released earlier this year. The high top sneaker meshes flyknit material with great innovative technology.

Today, the Nike brand released detail information on the next Kobe 9 Elite sneaker. The "Brave Blue" model is inspired by a legendary team owner and his signature look while playing poker. The Flyknit upper is a nice shade of Brave Blue that complements the Metallic Silver Swoosh and white outsole.

The Nike Kobe 9 Elite "Brave Blue" will release on October 18 at select Nike retailers and Nike.com.
