An homage to pop music — specifically to Michael Jackson’s jacket in the “Thriller” music video, it would seem — the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low University Red release date is set for tomorrow, September 13, at Nike Basketball accounts everywhere.
Alluding to the enduring power of pop music — of singers and songs and dance moves — the shoe sports an eye-catching red Flyknit construction set off by contrast black weave, and sitting atop a black mid- and outsole. The color is both timeless and trendy; flashy and classy.
Adding a pop of flair, a glow-in-the-dark finish jumps off the Swoosh, heel-stitching and the speckling on the laces and midsole, ensuring it’d fit perfectly in a certain legendary music video.
Grab a pair at select retailers nationwide Saturday, including online accounts beginning at 8am EDT. Here’s the Footlocker.com purchase link.
