Nike Kobe 9's: Bryant Going Back To High-Tops, To Unveil On Dec. 4
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) - Kobe Bryant is back at practice and close to returning to the court for the Lakers, so you what that means -- new Nike shoes!
With the holidays around the corner, Nike has leaked, via KicksonFire, its latest basketball shoe: Nike Kobe 9's aka. 'The Ninth'
After going five straight models with a mid-cut model, Nike and Bryant will go back to a high-top to help support his surgically repaired Achilles that he tore in April during a game against the Golden State Warriors.
Nike will unveil the shoe on Dec. 4, however there is no word on when they'll hit the stores.
In past Lakers Christmas games, Bryant has given a free pair of his new shoes to courtside season-ticket holders.
