Kobe X Official Thread Elite Series ‘Elite Team’ April 18th, ‘Elevate’ May 15th, ‘Rose Gold’ June 5

[dantepham]

I recently bought the Kobe 9 Elite low and had to go half a size up from my original size 9 which fit a bit snug. I'm looking to buy a few pairs of 10 elite low and was wondering how they fit. Do they fit true to size? Or do they fit like the kobe 9 Elite low a little snug?

 

[superstarlord]

Foolish back stories aside, I'm still thinking about getting these, especially now with the 15% from ebates.

REALLY like the hat lol....... got my outfit together.... your move @redrum3281  

Awesome....I still have the Hitman wrap around shades

These jerseys are awesome, killer logo.

I feel the same about the X model. There are a few that are decent but none good enough for me to buy.

In hindsight I think you made the right move in getting the EM models. They seem to be the best out of the 3 models.

The tri-color FK lows aren't cutting it for me and high well I have the MP so point in any other cw.

Nike uses the "shotgun" approach some are hits some arent.

Hopefully the elite lows in Jan are similar to 9 in pattern the planned cws seem like a winner

I'm burnt out on the 10 at this point. Will eventually get the rest of the base models past the Pains to complete the set. I've been on a 90s retro tear. AM 90 and 95 OGs, Pippen 1 and CB 94s over the past 3 weeks.

I'm scared to post in the Chuck thread that I gave in on the CB 94s after I crushed this current retro repeatedly because of the changes. I just couldn't wait another 5 years to have em.

What Ric would look like after a match vs prime Bret Hart. Eye pokes, low blows, chops and the figure 4 wouldn't be enough. Ha ha ha

Ha ha ha. The quick boxers shot. Yo before we get yelled at for the derail someone answer this. Did Ric ever land a top rope move or was he thrown off every single time? Y'all know what I'm talking about.

Hahah that reminds me of when he tried to go for a top rope move vs Taker at WM18, even Lawler was saying "Oh Rick, I don't think this has ever worked out for you"

I know I'm late but the price is the #1 reason these shoes aren't moving, not colorways. My 0.02$

Elite 9's were the same price as these Elites. Those didn't have a problem moving.  For the lows that is.

9 Elites were something new and a better looking shoe IMO. No knock on the 10 Elites, they look good too. Team Elites are being slept on this year. Best CW of the 3 so far.

I should mention I'm speaking from what I've seen around my way. Damn near everyone had a pair of 8s (kobe also had a monster season that year), hardly any 9s and only a handful of 10s. The non elite lows are also ugly and lazy as hell so that may have something to do with it.

 

[CosmicGhostRider]

It's definitely a combination of the price increase not matching up with new tech and the fact that Kobe hasn't been playing in them. The only people I know in the NBA that really wear Kobes are DeRozan and J.R. Smith before he signed with the Cavs.

If Kobe were playing they'd probably sell more.

Personally, I love the 10. I really didn't expect to like these as much as I do, but in my eyes they improved from the Kobe 9 performance-wise.

Well I pulled the trigger on the "Drill Sergeants", couldn't pass up on the 15% ebates, plus I just sold some stuff on ebay so the money was already sitting in paypal.

I've come to call it my PLAYpal account. It's about the only way I can justify to my wife spending money on shoes. She gets so pissed when a new shoe box ends up in the closet. I'm just like I sold some stuff and used PayPal funds. The checking account was untouched lol.

What about HBK?

 

[the collector]

What about HBK?

Don't even mention that name. He had to screw the Hitman out of fear he'd show up on Nitro the night after with the WWF title.

Hart is number 1 to me because he destroyed prime Austin. The same Austin that went on to stun the whole WWE roster every night for 10 years. Never forget...

Hart is my #1 as well, but don't do him the disservice of forgetting all of his great matches before that - British Bulldog, Mr Perfect, Owen, even HBK at WM12 (not to mention all of his matches as part of the Hart Foundation)
