Which Kobe 9 Elite Low Beethoven Will Release?

The Kobe 9 Elite Low “Beethoven” has had so much hype behind it. A large reason is the simple colorway on the FlyWire material. This release will only be the second pair of obtainable Elite lows; the “Moonwalkers” released first. Like we said, “obtainable pair” unless you somehow got your hands on the “HTMs”. Originally, the first photos of the “Beethovens” had released with a black Swoosh. Currently on Nike’s webpage, the photos of those Kobe 9s are still up. Many sneaker blogs have circulated the “Beethovens but this time with a white Swoosh”.

After much debate and anticipation, we finally have an answer. Our friend @J23app had tweeted Nikestore and Nike had responded with:

Thanks! RT @nikestore: @J23app The outside Swoosh on the Kobe 9 Elite Low ‘Beethoven’ will be white.

There it is, the Kobe 9 Elite Low “Beethoven” will release with the white Swoosh. Remember the white Swoosh pair does not feature a heel pull tab. Another noticeable difference is the Flywire upper on the medial side is white.

We took the liberty to attach photos of both models for your convenience.
