Nice bro!...Gr8 lookin pic! This colorway is the only Kobe X i copped and most likely will be the last from what ive seen so far (EMs). I don't think ill be coppin the "Highs" either from what ive seen? that high "sock" lookin back/heel part is just Fugly...IMO! I really think the Elite "Flyknit" Lows are gunna look SICK with this silhouette? cant wait! Just hope the colorways are gunna be dope? the only Elite Low colorway ive read to be released so far is that "Total Orange" colorway, lol, I don't like the sound of that but......Orange? SMH will see I guess? lol
Might have to look into that crew sweatshirt on the right, although I'm still waiting for the one from the Blackout pictures that Kobe was wearing.
its all good, anything under retail is a win
It's excluded from discount though, no?
Weird, it looks like it is now, but they had removed the exclusion on Monday and a bunch of us jumped on the deal.
Damn I missed out then.
Not true. Please refer to the Kobe 2. A shoe I really like. This was promoted as the first bball shoe to have a true Free mid/outsole. It had one.
Nike Free was promoted as a tech on the Kobe IIs, but the way it was executed on that shoe was more for show/marketing than anything else. I've owned a good number of IIs, and that shoe doesn't have nearly the level of flexibility you'd need to take full advantage of Free tech like you would in most Nike Free shoes. If you look at advertisements for a lot of Free shoes, they even market the added level of flexibility you get from Free by literally showing you how you can bend some of the Free shoes almost into a ball, which you clearly can't do with the IIs. If you have a midfoot shank that's designed to give added stability so you avoid pronating too much when you're moving around, you're obviously going to have decreased flexibility. The shank on the IIs is a major reason why Nike Free on that model was basically negligible.
