Apparently nobody wants a bag of hot cheetos on their feet.. go figure

I'm more surprised that we haven't seen more Teal pickups.. those are actually pretty nice imo

Saw them in person yesterday. They are definitely nice. Might cop soon

 

[redrum3281]

once they both hit discounts they'll start showing up with the inevitable "i couldn't pass at this price" comments

 

[onthesceneclean]

Smarter people aren't paying $180 on "pretty nice". I'd rather save the money towards something that IS without any doubt fire...Or wait til these kobes reach the disco.
Now that I think about it..another ridiculous Kobe X theme should be Kobes that look like a disco ball...and talk about how Kobe used to roller skate at the disco hall back in the day. Theyd look a little like Michael Jackson's glove, but they migh be sick

I must be a idiot then. Ha ha ha

I've been buying all my 10s at retail. Doubles at discount. I don't wait around when I want something and have the Chavo to get it.

I've seen a few "where's the Fundamentals" post in here. There's also some sad faces in the Pippen 1 thread right now because folks waited. Now there only left with hope.

 

[redrum3281]

so the kobe x ext black released today.....where?

Where the hell did the Pippens drop?!

 

[tr23]

I bet the fundamentals are sitting in some stores. Sure you could stock locate

JimmyJaz. Had the black/red ones but they sold out. Word is you can get them in store also. I think another chain got a few of the white pairs but don't know about the black pair though.

Kobe 10 Elite low HTM Arrowhead

The quality of the HTM combined with the clean CW just does it for me. The laces and lace tips is the icing on the cake.

Can't this be ID'd ?

 

[a-friend]

It can be iD'd in a pretty close likeness.
Only the Sharks were popping up.

That painted Black fly knit though, might need a dye job upon arrival

 

[the collector]

They can be ID'd without the leather inside, the volt hits throughout the bottom and those nice laces.

The black flyknit is painted?

the nice laces can be found on ebay

 

[drisk34]

need the teals/drill sergeants on a discount but they dont seem to be on as many sites as the chesters

 

[a-friend]

I'm not sure if it is painted or dyed but it looks like the black (just like the other colored uppers) is having the color applied after the shoe is made.

Some of the black uppers look ok, some look like they ran out of black paint/dye, or were just in a hurry.

It's not very deep coloring at all.

It's not even close to the quality or saturation used on the black toe of the Chesters or Drill Sergeants. Huge difference. 

 

[goat4521]

Now I'm worried mine will look like trash

Just go back to the iD thread and pull up the pictures and scroll through, see if you agree with me. I may be tripping, but not likely.

I honestly think its the glue backing that they use that you are seeing. I don't know the black pair that I got looked just like the rose golds up close.
