Christmas Kobe 9 Elites are back, thoughts? ?? : r/Sneakers。Appearing in another Christmas inspired colorway, the Kobe 9 Elite is the first high-cut rendition of the Kobe lineage to feature the festive colorway. The sneaker sports red and white accents on the Flyknit upper that match the swirl of the outsole pattern that is inspired by Christmas stocking colors. Equipped with Flywire technology on the lacing for a more stable midfoot feel, the silhouette is contrasted with a black Swoosh and Mamba branding, while the sock-like design provides a snug fit.
