Snagged the grey elites at NDC in their flash sale. Used e-Certs from discover to reduce oop cost. Good deal for the tech.

Fit is a thousand times better than the 9's in my opinion. The OG's were OD tight around the tongue area. Also super narrow on the sides. Joint killed my feet but the traction and responsiveness was top notch so I dealt with it. As for popping bags issue, I've yet to ball hard in the elites so only time will tell. They fixed that zoom separation connection thingy that kept snapping. It's now one solid chunk instead of a flimsy brittle piece.
I'd say cop the regular 9s for the great price, but honestly the elites have been worth EVERY penny so far.
thought dey announced a while back they were doin away with the "What the"?No Kobe 11 What The
No KD 9 What The
No Lebron 13 What The
Kyrie 2 is the only recent Nike basketball shoe with w "What The". Could this be the end? [emoji]129300[/emoji]
If they did I don't recall. There's also a What The Nike SB releasing so I dunnothought dey announced a while back they were doin away with the "What the"?
It's not a "What The". It's a collab with Artist Thomas Campbell. The Same guy who did the art for Chronicles 3.If they did I don't recall. There's also a What The Nike SB releasing so I dunno
How they feel lil homie ?
Felt good. The only thing I can complain about is the top of the shoe near the middle of my foot got sore after a while due like it felt like something was pressing on it.

Zoom hasnt popped (yet) but i got a little peel action.
Not sure how comfortable i feel hoopin in these now. Ive hooped in these about 10 times. Voucher worthy?
This happened on my only other pair of Kd 9s
How has this not happened to y'all? I'm 2 for 2
I've hooped in these no more than 3-4 times. I was reaching down to wipe and felt it, I'm like wtf
I sent in my other to Nike claims last week, waiting to hear back. I really wanted to keep these though. Ima see if I can glue it back down. View media item 2471089
Around the time the elites came out, they changed the forefoot "bridge" from perforated to solid. Now the zoom pops a lot less often and they used the same design for the KD10.
Yeah my friend who only wore them to coach basketball had the entire outsole just fall off too
Damn for real [emoji]128563[/emoji]
Gives me pause to glue em back down, maybe I should just send em back. I think I'll try glue though. Not sure what kind I need to grab
If you really want to glue, I know those shoe restorers use some sort of barge cement and I've personally tried using this stuff called shoe goo from any local supermarket. But honestly I would just send them back unless you really love the shoe that much
Imo you should send them in asap. Even if you fix the bottoms via glue, there's a good possibility that the zoom Bag will pop also lol, I'd rather not risk it personally but of course it's up to you.[emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji] I hit up the homie who does restorations and he gave me the 411. I'll see what I can do and if it doesn't hold up I'll send em back.
It's not that I love em that much but it's the Gold medals which are [emoji]128293[/emoji][emoji]128293[/emoji] and I've finally gotten used to the poor lockdown and have enjoyed hooping in em [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji] full length articulated zoom is a godsend
