Gear Report: First Look At Nike Kobe 9

After completing his MVP season in 2008, Kobe Bryant and Nike designed the lightest and lowest basketball shoe possible. While Bryant and millions of fans have enjoyed the low-cut design through the years, the all-new Nike Kobe 9 has been redesigned. The shoe will now have a higher cut to support the five-time champion’s surgically repaired Achilles.

UPDATE: Kobe Bryant wore his Kobe 9s at practice for the first time on Wednesday afternoon. Here’s a shot from today’s practice with more in the link.
