Dubbed the “Silk Road” this Nike Kobe 9 is cloaked in an engineered mesh upper that mimics silk with an intricate pattern design to go with it. A different but corresponding design takes care of the toe pattern while simple merlot and black stay simple in the midsole and outsole. Orange lace loops provide a shock of color to the dark red themed upper while metallic gold takes care of all of the shoe’s branding to provide a touch of flash.
