We’ve seen constant colorways of the Nike Kobe 9 EM in recent weeks, but the latest style code is designed with more detail. Celebrating Kobe Bryant’s annual trips overseas to interact with fans and make appearances in the far east is the Nike Kobe 9 EM “China”, a premium version of the low-top basketball shoe with special graphics. A vivid red base houses gold detailing throughout, including on the Swoosh and speckled midsole, but the differentiation comes in the form of a symbolic design on the tongue in gold, red and orange. Get a closer look at the special detailing below, and grab a pair from Sneaker Politics and other Nike Basketball retailers on August 30th.
