Nike will release four excellent sneakers this weekend that will surely get a lot of attention once these kicks hit shelves.

Coming out this weekend is the new variant of Kobe Bryant's latest signature sneaker called the Kobe 9 Mid EXT, which will definitely turn heads in the next several weeks.

The new Kobe 9 Mid EXT sports a black-based textured leather upper that has snakeskin details and finished out a full translucent gum-themed outsole.

According to Nike, this edition of the highly-successful signature shoe of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar was made to embody Bryant's alter-ego - Black Mamba.

"Following a groundbreaking introduction, utilizing a Flyknit construction for the first time on-court, the Kobe 9 has been remade for everyday wear," Nike noted. "Built like the Black Mamba himself - stealthy yet aggressive - the Kobe 9 Mid Ext. brings the popular performance model to the streets. The design embodies Kobe Bryant's alter-ago with a subtle, snakeskin-embossed leather upper."

The Kobe 9 Mid EXT will hit stores on Saturday, August 23, at 8:00 AM EST for $225 per pair in selected stores worldwide.
