Eagles, stars, stripes and everything else affiliated with the red, white, and blue is evoked in the Nike Kobe X Elite ‘American’.
The tongue on the shoe actually does boast an eagle perched on top of a globe of sorts with the Kobe logo printed on it. The clear outsole has sparkling flecks embedded inside it that emulate stars. The red and navy throughout the Flyknit upper further adds to the theme, with the white swoosh finishing up the USA theme.

This is probably my favorite colorway. Looks like Philippines pack for the Kobe 9
By far the best looking one. It’d be interesting to see what they look like with white laces.
I love America.
They would have looked better as a low, but even then that are not worth the price that Nike is asking for with this line. Great to see Kobe go out like this as a player though, fantastic.
