Nike KD 9: Release Info on Page 1

I don't want to wait till June...

As you can see somewhat in these pictures there is padding under that collar in the back making it not sit flush with the back of the foot at the top. It should have decent lock down but we will see that when the time comes

Will be hard to decide which one of these two cw's I want to cop, they are both beauties

I'm in the minority that's actually liked the past couple of KD models, even though the price point was very questionable on a few (7 and 8  ).  These are by far my favorite shoe of 2016 and they're not even out yet.  Hopefully the traction isn't anything like the 8 and this may be the perfect model.

The 7 retailed at $150 amd I didnt think that was too bad. Of Course they upped the price on the gold medals to $170. The 8 going to up to $180/$200 was just ridiculous. Im with you though, im really excited for these.

I don't want to wait till June...

its not that I dont WANT to wait until June, its that I dont think I CAN wait until june If i see them up on ebay early, or certain sites may get them early, I'll probably grab them.

I wouldn't worry about the heel sitting flush, I have the lillard 2s and they seem to have a similar padding at the back of the boot that moulds to your foot and locks it in.

It's actually closer to the Lillard 1 bootie not 2

That $150 gonna make these a problem

You don't like the traction on the 8s? I think they are some of the better shoes I've ever played in

Trash 8s, Awesome 9s.. Wow.. Dont own KDs because ima Kobe fan. But im Really thinkin bout gettin a Pair of these.

 

[rfx45]

i dont get how you add full length zoom and add flyknit and deduct the price from past years model by 30... probably bc KD's sales are the worst between all nike pro athletes with sig models... just my opinion

Idk but if these really are $150, and IDs are below $200 these will sell like crazy.

Media: One interesting aspect of the shoe is that it’s now $150, down from $180 on the current model, and early on you always wanted your shoes to be affordable to everyone. Is this price change something you contributed to?

KD: It was a collaborative effort. I always wanted my shoes to be affordable, but as I got older and my game started to change, I knew I needed a shoe to fit my game and there’s that compromise of going up in pricepoint. But now as you get into the KD 9, you get a $250 shoe for $150!

That’s a great bargain right there. You know last year’s shoe was $180 and there was a lot of technology in there, but for this one for $150, you can’t beat that. Nike did such a great job of bringing the idea and of course I was like “let’s do it”, so hopefully people love it.

So glad there's a price decrease for once. Hopefully this means Kyries stay lower priced and Kobes and Lebrons decrease in price too.

 

[benzilla427]

Shoe looks dope but I'll probably wait for them to hit outlets. I just can't bring myself to pay retail anymore lol

 

[Platinum State]

Really dig the design. Hoping theyre more roomier than the horrible 8

I don't know if it's just me, but after a little while they just became skates to me. They were good on any surface for like a month or so, then now they're just *** in terms of traction. And yes, I maintain a clean bottom when I can.

 

[gil23]

at 150....first day cop

 

[nikekid6]

Remind me of the uptempo max which was a shoe I really digged

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[gauchowr]

I don't care what anyone says but these shoes are straight fire!! Loving the profile of the shoe a well as that bootie sock-like liner, and the biggest thing I love is that zoom bag. They look super sexy and comfortable. Yeah....that $150 price tag makes them even more appealing. Crazy.

 

[KilroyIverson21]

This might be the first sig shoe that I pick up multiple pairs of since the Lebron 9 (JB not included).

 

[Smorgasbordgie]

These are pretty dope! The visible zoom air looks good and brings back memories

i think the kyries are only gonna do up in price because they havent used any premium materials on them yet and they probably will... with kobes and brons they always sell good every year at their price point

Thats strange. My 4th of July ones (bought release weekend) are still fine when playing at LA Fitness and I've worn the crap out of them. Then I have the V8s for competitive which work too.

 

[kookoo89]

The ones in the video with the multicoulour flyknit... Instacop if I can get my hands on them. I'm hoping they don't pull some "we've made a different version for the $150 price point and the flyknit is going to be a limited release" bs...
