Kobe 9 Wear Test SAMPLE Close Look

With the hype for the Kobe 8 System still at an all time high, sneakerheads can't help but wonder how will Nike follow up their most successful Kobe model yet. Today we get the first look at this highly anticipated model with a leaked picture of the wear test model. So far, the shoe still used the Engineered Mesh upper instead of FlyKnit most likely to minimize cost while tweaking the performance side of things. As you can see, they also used a ton of Carbon Fiber on the lateral midsole for support with a mid cut with ankle padding. There are 5 dynamic Flywire areas as well for overall stability from heel to toe. The shoe looks serious and tough but inside you'll still find a Lunarlon insole just like what they used for the Kobe 8. Overall, things are looking straight for the Kobe 9- the design is really clean and the performance aspect has been upgraded generously. What's your take on this wear test sample?
