The quality of the X is better than the stupid EM on the 8 and 9...

The mesh rips very easily on those shoes. If you disagree then you're just a homer. I love the 8's like anyone else but come on, the quality wasn't THAT good on them.

Homer? WTF are you talking about? If I disagree? Last time I checked everyone didn't have to have the same opinion.

He's talking about how they look and the quality to HIM. Not how good they are on the court. Is the EM going to rip walking around?

And last time I checked there were five models of the 9.

Did you even read what he said?

The 9 is a hollowed out cloth shoes? Which really made no sense.

Much less his comments about the Lebron's or Jordan XX9. His entire viewpoint is based around what cushioning system is most comfortable to HIM.

Repped. 'Preciate it fam.



I have an awful knee (I tore my ACL and shattered my meniscus).

I liked the 8s overall more than the 9s.


8s - good traction, good breathability, good flexibility - but because of my knee issue, there just wasn't enough cushion each time I land.

9s - good cushion, but didn't think it had enough traction and flexibility.


I'm hoping the 10s have everything I'm looking for.

With knee injuries like that there's no way you should be balling in a shoe like the 8. You need a mountain of cushion.

Tell me about it - I'm hoping the 10s will deliver.




Open to other suggestions too!

Yeah the Kobe 8 and Kobe 9 cushioninh isn't great

I ran the Lebron XI midsole inside the Kobe 9 Elite

 

[tagjr]

Pissed my Footlocker order is back ordered

 

[mister friendly]

I actually was talking about playing them

The Kobe 8 and Kobe 9 Elite low felt cheap to me especially the Kobe 8

They are just hollowed out shoes without the drop in removable insole/midsole

I'm not a fan of this set up relative to shoes with a solid midsole

What is Enginereed Mesh? It's basically cloth

What is Flyknit? A Stronger version of cloth

The same way is Fuse is plastic. My experience is that is more durable

 

[mister friendly]

I shot around in these today and I like them so far

The shoe fits a little wider than the previous low Kobes

The one to one fit isn't quite like the recent lows

The lockdown is still here though

The cushioning is not quite low to the ground, it's a good mix that is in between the Kobe 9 and KD VII

The traction seems to be the best of the line

They are most substantial feeling Kobe since the Kobe IV

That's all i wanted to hear since the release since im a big fan of the KD 7 cushioning. Thanks fam!

The cushioning isn't the same as the KD VII

It's in between that shoe and a recent Kobe

Those and the Silk road(orange) ones are solid. I may cave on those. Unfortunate we wont see the volt ones. Remind me of the grey and volt 8s a little which I have yet to UNDS. waiting for the right time i guess.

Kyle Korvers 10s

Okay I'm sorry to complain, but these shoes honestly look like a glorified Venomenon. I mean even the print they're using on the front looks like almost the same print from the Venomenon 4.

It's just so aggravating to watch a line of shoes that I look forward to EVERY year just kinda go down the drain. I know it's just the beginning, but it's been a rough start. And that's all IMO
