The relaunch of the Kobe Bryant sneaker line has been a godsend for basketball fans around the world. Due to his popularity remaining at a fever pitch, the demands were at an all-time high. As a result, the decision for Nike was a relatively easy one to make. With Vanessa on board, it has given the team the license to recreate some of the most iconic pieces from the line. Among them, one festive special is making its way to fans for next year’s Christmas.

The “Christmas” Nike Kobe 9 Elite remains one of the most beloved pieces to come out of the Kobe line. Thankfully for fans, the piece is making a return the next holiday season. The shoe comes with a “Mamba Greetings” sewed into its interior with the iconic Christmas red, white, and green.

Since the line began anew, fans have seen stories from around the basketball world about packages of the line. But, while that was a special curation for those near and dear to Kobe, this release is all for the fans.

This particular shoe remains among the best alternate versions of a retro Mamba sneaker and the launch should be one for the history books.
