Compare the shapes. This years model > last years.
The mesh colorways were all "meh" surely not worth anything over $140. Elite lows are beautiful.

So glad I waited on the Kobe Xs. The elite low model destroys last years imo.
Kobe Elite 9 > Kobe Elite 9 low > Kobe X in any form. I love all 3 models but the shape of the X is quite weak compared to the 9. If you wanna make a fair comparison compare the HTMs to the HTMs. White/gum destory all 3 Xs.Compare the shapes. This years model > last years.

You are qualified then to like the HTM's. Welcome aboard.Im a Kobe fan and I have a pair of Kobe X
I agree with this. The X does look like it will perform better and the flyknit will have more function than form when compared to the 9.I like the mix of flyknit colors and details on the HTM IXs more than the HTM Xs, at least based off of pics so far. I do like the cushioning on the Xs a lot though, and it seems like the upper will be more flexible and comfortable than the IXs. Curious how many GR elite lows we'll be getting this year.
That is really cool of your brother to stand around and do that for you. Does he just happen to live there?
I'll definitely let you guys know if I do ha.
He's just there for work. Drove from Frankfurt, Germany to Milan this morning. Has meeting's all tomorrow there but if free today. I told him it wasn't a big deal and that he doesn't have to stand around there but he said he didn't have anything to do anyways. Funny thing is I'm a shoe collector but have never waited in line for a shoe release. My brother pry has bought 1 pair of shoes in the last 3 years and he's standing around with all those sneakerheads haha.

There were gs sizes of the IX elites but they were not flyknit. Unfortunately it does not look like they are going to make any of the gs sizes with the flyknit. They might do a gs model of the elites but no for sure word yet.Question for the brethren in the know..will the elite lows be in kids/womens sizes? The EMs came in kids (like the IXs did) but the IX elites did not. Have there been any flyknit nikes to come in kids yet? Kinda hard to get matching elite Kobe's for the little footed women in your life.
Also doesn't hurt that Milan is considered one of the fashion capitals of the worldI wonder if Milan gets these exclusives because of kobes ties growing up in Italy
Whoops I meant the IX elite lows didn't come in gs sizes. The gs IX elite highs they did were a horrible implementation.There were gs sizes of the IX elites but they were not flyknit.

F'n A they were! Couldn't believe how terrible they were when I went to get my son a MP pair to match mine... needless to say it didn't happen! SMDHWhoops I meant the IX elite lows didn't come in gs sizes. The gs IX elite highs they did were a horrible implementation.

Me too, especially considering when the MC restock happened with the 9s, I just sat around like a dunce watching it unfold, and not even thinking to get in on it. Not going to make that mistake again if we see MC options this time around.
i cant wait till flyknits hit nike id lol
