A detailed look at the Nike Kobe 9 EM "Independence Day" sneakers that are scheduled to release on June 28.

Nike Kobe 9 EM "Independence Day"

We've already seen Kobe 9 EMs inspired by the Philippines and South America, and next up is the good ol' U.S. of A. In honor of the upcoming 4th of July holiday, Nike will be dropping a patriotic colorway of Kobe's Engineered Mesh lineup. The Nike Kobe 9 EM features a red, white, and blue patterned upper with complementary navy hits on the midsole and lining. The Kobes even feature 3M detailing on the tongue and Swoosh for that reflective pop to go with the fireworks.

Go all-out 'Merica and pick these up on Staurday, June 28, at Nike Basketball retailers like New Jersey's Nohble.
