Don't know what these are but will post anyway.

To be completely honest, they look like a typical fuse model, with cheaper materials than before. They remind me of the Trey5 or something on that level. Severely disappointed if this is what the shoe turns out looking like. Easy pass regardless of colorway

I'll wait for better pics

Looks simple and clean. Dope. Sign me up

These are BUNS.

No Sleeve, No 180 Air-Bag... let's hope, but I'm pretty sure this isn't even close to the Real Thing.

I think they're beautiful the way they are!

I was thinking the X on the bottom would be bigger and served as a functional piece for torsional support. I don't have a problem with the silhouette or the materials used(looks like hyperfuse or is it hyperEM lol), looks lightweight. Price on the other hand I hope doesn't increase then I'm gonna hate it. The colorblocking potential looks to be limited. Glad to have seen pics of something for now.

remember the lebron XII when pics first surfaced, they ended up looking stupid, but they were unfinished samples.  this could just be a sample.

at least thats what im hoping.  kinda remind me of the KD 5 elite in these pics.

 

[ricanmamba]

Looks like a sample model. Remember the first pics of the bruce lee 9s? They looked rough.

 

[ricanmamba]

I did want flyknit though... why would they just abandon it?

I like them. Look like a nice basic design.

 

[Kobekobe]

I think they look fine and eightfivefresh you can see the airbag, it's red.

 

[Magic33]

I hope those aren't it

 

[islandkicks]

Hopefully they're still working that traction pattern, it's looking pretty suspicious. Would hate to see them take a step back after having such strong traction on the 8s and 9s.

All in all, these definitely have potential to be special. Don't understand how people can hate the shoe based on 3 pics of a very early wear-test model.

 

[someone12345]

Is the red part the zoom air that everyone is worried about? 

 

[God]

Anything reminiscent of the performance and look of the 5/6, with traction of the 8 and I'll be a happy customer... Minus all the terrible colorways of the 8 and 9.

So far if those blue looking ones are close to what we'll get, I'll be looking forward to the 10.

 

[just another pair]

i like them, i don't know if its worth 200 though.

 

[urn0tlike]

I don't hate them, but they do look very generic. I hold judgement for now, but at least we get to see something though.

 

[iks mod]

I like what I see, but I'm not too excited that there'll be lunar in the forefoot

Almost looks like caged 180 zoom

 

[tlamora11]

I love the Kobe line so I'm sure these will  grow on me but these look like a basic hyperfuse shoe mixed with the KD V Elite. Seem pretty basic and I can't see myself spending $225

 

[D_eezus]

Interesting. Holding judgemental till more pics.

Why does nike like putting X on 10th shoes

 

[ph1n0v22]

dont forget we have X elites. hopefully a better design tho

180 bag is encased man

 

[kb24strikesagain]

Every year, every sample everyone says they suck. Then everyone salivates at the limited releases and is back on the bandwagon.

Kobe X

Surprised there is no heel cup. Looks like a KD shoe and an AirMax shoe thrown together.
