A rare Air Jordan 9 is hitting retailers this weekend and it should appeal to every Kobe/Lakers fans, as well as those Randy Moss/Vikings fans.

The "Kobe" Air Jordan 9 is eerily similar to Kobe Bryant's classic PE, which strongly resembled the Jordan PE cleats that Randy Moss laced up during his playing days for the Minnesota Vikings.

Just like Kobe's pair, this rendition features purple patent leather and yellow accents, though these bad boys feature the #23 on the heel, as opposed to the #8 that was seen on the Black Mamba's PE.

None of that shouldn't deter any Lakers fans from scooping up a pair when they release tomorrow, November 19th for $190.

Select Foot Locker locations will be implementing a "Reservation" system for the release so check out the Launch Locator to see how your local store is handling the "Kobe" Air Jordan 9 drop this weekend.
