Nike Kobe 9 Elite - Upcoming Release Dates ~ Freshly Laced

Even with Kobe Bryant injured and unable to currently take the court for his Los Angeles Lakers, the next model in Bryant's signature Nike Basketball series is drawing quite a bit of attention. The sneaker differs from more recent releases in the series as it will not feature a low-top design in its original form. Instead the shoe will feature an abundance of ankle support and appears to be one of the better performance shoes lined up for 2014. Just as the new greatly differing design had begun to sink in, images of multiple upcoming colorways have surfaced and certainly have drawn a great deal of attention. The three upcoming colorways will be referred to as the "Perspective", "Detail", and "Inspiration" makeups as seen below. Each colorway has its own back-story integrated into the design. The "Inspiration" draws from Bryant's full career with the Lakers while "Detail" and "Perspective" are said to be inspired by Michaelanglo and Picasso respectively. Check out the detailed images and release date of each design below and let us know what you think by leaving a comment in the given section.
