Kobe Elites for Black History Month

Written by Pete Wright

I’ve been admiring the Kobe Nine Elites for some time now and this colorway is one of the dopest of them all.

A nod to Black History Month, these shoes are very striking. I love the high contrast, simple black and white effect going on here — if I had an extra $300, I’d be all over these. I really enjoy the silhouette of the nines, a very impressive release from Nike.

They’ve also released some pretty amazing colorways of other shoes as well, with the Air Max 1 and Lebron’s being a couple of them. A shout out to Sneaker Politics for the sweet photos.
