That's like comparing apple to oranges.
You would need to compare the EM to this. Kobe 10 is lightyear ahead of the Kobe 9 EM aesthetically at least.

If that's the lead model of the 10 then the comparison is fair. The Elite was the main/lead model of the 9. I look at it like a Jordan retro card. You wouldn't put the EM as the 9 on it.

I like EM but it gets dirty way too quick.
Hyper fuse is decent technology imo

It's not bad, but it's a downgrade when compared to EM. Also I think there's better materials for a 10th signature shoe.I like EM but it gets dirty way too quick.Hyperfuse? Really????

I'm sure the elite model will have better materials

Not at all. Comparing an elite to a regular model isn't fair

yeah isnt this GS? I can't wait for the adult version... I wonder how they did the heel lockdown. As far as the tongue goes, I loved the Kobe 5 tongue. I hope it's like that, but it looks like it's going to be more along the lines of the 8 (tongue wise). Overall, I'm going to reserve judgement til I see the mens version that's going to hit retail. That upper looks really breathable tho, a plus for those who are going to get these for hooping.

Oh really? I guess my Kobe 9's don't have flyknit. I guess Kobe didn't play in flyknit last night.

ok smart ***. let me break it down for you so you can understand.
with the kobe shoe we have been getting 2 models, the regular model and an elite model. for the 9, we got 3. regular, elite, and elite high (disregard EXT). the elite model, which you are referring to, is the one that had flyknit. once again, i'll repeat myself, the ELITE model had flyknit..
what you're doing is comparing an ELITE model to a REGULAR model.
when you see pictures of the kobe X elite, then by all means ***** all you want. but right now, your nagging makes no sense.
the picture we got is, without a doubt in my mind, the regular version of the shoe.

What he is saying is that this isn't the elite model. The regular Kobe's 9s weren't flyknit, neither are these. The elites might be different.
