Nike is finally rehashing the Kobe IX. These are slated for next year.

Not sure they can do story telling about a person who’s no longer with us in a way that will resonate with the general public…
Maybe it’s just me but my stance hasn’t changed, if I didn’t see Kobe with them they don’t really hit the same.

Masterpiece lows would be something I’d pay resale for.

The only Kobe I like and own is the 10. Need some new 10 Elite colourways

I'm more surprised they're protroing the EM lows. To me the elite high is the definitive version of the 9s.

If they're bringing back the IX highs, in addition to the Masterpiece (of which my OG pair has only been worn a few times inside the house to this day) and some other classic OG colorways, they should give us the gdamn Precisions that for some reason never released originally. They can keep all this lame all-white etc. crap they're doing on the VIIIs.
This is really the only colorway I ever wanted other than the MPs and the Inspirations, which I also have only worn a few times. MLKs are dope as hell, too.

That high black/orange 9s had me catfished too. Early leaks had it looking blk/red instead.
The thing sat a long time too.

Every time I saw them sitting on a store shelf, I wanted to buy them just because I found them so ridiculous LOL. Never did, though.
I'd also have bought the Victory colorway if it had a white or black swoosh. But that gold swoosh threw the whole thing off for me, I could never get past it.

lol yea, put mine on the bloc. Nice shoe though, but hard to coordinate.

Probably because lows are more popular than highs nowadays.
But I love all white shoes so I'd be all in on those 9 lows, hoping the cushion is more Cushlon than react like the 7s.

9 EMs were my favorite to play in. Right up there with the 2K4s for me. All white colorway is kind of whack though. Will wait to see what other colorways they bring out.

I was telling my guy the EM 9s actually look cleaner in general as they're more sleeker..... obviously the mutlicolor flyknits looked dope. They prob going EM 9 lows cuz they already chose the Elite 9 highs.... so to just give a different option.

Also, as a reminder - if they release the Flyknit low 9s, don’t forget to go half a size up. My ID joints killed my pinky toes. Might have to sell them as they’re not fun to wear.
