Nike uses the hype for red sneakers to its advantage, draping the new "Knit Stocking" aka "Christmas" Nike Kobe 9 Elite in a ravishing bright crimson hue. White detailing is infused into the design, seen on the knit stocking inspired Flyknit upper. What was previously thought to be camo is actually a candy cane inspired print that wraps around the midsole. “Mamba’s Greetings" is written on the inner tongue, making this pair of Kobe 9 Elite's perfect for the Holiday. Grab them beginning Dec. 26, 2014 for $225 at select Nike retailers.
