Kobe's return to the court after tearing a tendon in his lower leg inspired generations of players to keep fighting. The Kobe 9 updates the shoe that supported the Black Mamba during his comeback. A lightweight knit upper and springy cushioning help you lock into the game and start building your own legacy.

Lightweight knit upper is made to move, offering breathable comfort and the support you need to make quick cuts as you dash down court.
Molded plastic at the heel helps provide stability and structure as you move from side to side.
We used pressure mapping to place rubber where you need it most on the outsole for durable traction that mimics the natural curves of your foot.
