I'm in love with the fit and cushioning. Can't wait to hoop in them, damn snow stopped that from happening today. If they perform like they feel, I'm ID-ing a pair or 3...View media item 1413563

It sucks there's no live stream of the event. Look forward to seeing some YouTube clips of it.

Humans lived many years running and jumping with nothing on (minimalist theory) why do all of a sudden we need shoes?

Shoes really have little impact on wether you hurt your feet or not, Durants injury is most likely due to something else. Especially in basketball shoes are meant primarily for impact protection

His toe injury isnt shoe related

I gotta disagree man. Not trying to get into a debate but that's flat out wrong if you think "shoes really have little impact on whether you hurt your feet or not." They absolutely can effect the entire kinetic chain. Too much/too little support, a slightly uneven sole, a last that doesn't fit your specific foot, etc., can all effect your foot structure, create muscle imbalances, effect your gait, create ankle/knee/low back pain, and on and on...

Finally getting back after spending the day with the lady. Its time to hit up some squats and deadlifts in these. They are straight fire.

Of course I gotta have NT on in the background.

Figured I'd get some comparison shots with the Moonwalkers. The Blackout purp is much more understated than the Moonwalkers purp as expected

Wasn't the label supposed to say Kobe X EP?

Excellent pics my friend. I've already got more than enough purple in the arsenal, so these were an easy pass for me. But for purple (and Lakers) fans, the hunger must be strong.

 

[dpritt]

I really wish I hadn't looked at this thread. I think I need these Blackouts in my life.

 

[jocruz89]

Why is FL on backorder?

 

[ricanmamba]

Moonwalkers> blackouts.
Blackouts are not bad
if I got them as a gift id be happy but don't see myself buying them.

 

[909mikey]

I don't usually mess with orange but these look really good here

Couple of my friends that met Kobe today at the BlackOut event

 

[MaxP_3]

Figured the peeling on ASGs was inevitable, even with casual wear. It's very obvious in person.

Haha, you always seem to be my voice of reasoning. As soon as I'm about to cop the ASG, you remind me exactly what that would be a terrible decision.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Blackout event was whatever. I couldn't stay long and left before kobe got there. Got to hoop briefly in the blackouts. They actually look black from a distance with the dark lighting they had in the shrine auditorium. They had the paintings that were posted earlier as well as the larry Obrien trophies. I think there was also a dunk contest but I had to run.

 

[Blue Mamba]

I miss when Nike Vault did packs like these. It seems like they just gave up with it. They could've done something sick with the Blackouts.

 

[jocruz89]

Anybody know what's up with the back order on FL
