Well...just like that 2014 is over. Fortunately for us, Nike killed it last year especially with the Kobe 9, and the final colorway might be their best work yet.

Originally called the "Villain Red" colorway, we've come to know this final Kobe 9 with a lighter nickname, now known as the Kobe 9 EM "Silk". Done up in mix of villiain red, metallic gold and bright crimson, this is easily one of the most detailed Kobes that's ever surfaced. With the Kobe 10 just around the corner, it's only right that Nike went all out with the final colorway for possibly the most successful silhouette in the Mamba's illustrious career. Check out the detailed images below, and scoop up your pair of the Kobe 9 EM "Silk" when they drop January 3.
