Nike KD 9: Release Info on Page 1

[reputory]

This has the potential to be his best shoe I just hope Nike doesn't botch the colorways. Give us that run of Lebron 9 colorways, straight flames.

wow KDs are back ? they definetely look like the wade li nings and lillard sig but they look a lot like lebron 1s as well . overall a great shoe , time to get rid of the nike sig monstrosities with the giant big swoosh on the lateral toe box side

AGREED! I was all over the 7's the 8's where horrid imo but these 9's I'm down for 2 to 4 pairs.

Look like the lebron 1s?? For real?

I cannot wait for these to drop. The 8s were a good concept, had great tech and a lot of room for storytelling, but just looked so awkward on feet.

These are essentially the D Lillard 2s, but with better technology. Shocked Nike is swallowing their pride and stepping back from the ~$200 price tag.

I guess ppl dont realize KD said they showed him the shoes, back when he reup with nike... So these shoes couldve been in the design process, before Dolce and the gang left for the 3 strikes... So that might explain why they resemble... IMO..

yup their shape and the swoosh positioning remind me of a "lower" version of lebron 8 v2 as well , overall the new kd is the best nike sig released the last 3 years to say the least

Wonder if KD ever regrets turning down UA.

 
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.

Some one at Nike agrees. SRP on the 8s is maybe $30 less in Europe than the US...

Actually the 8's price is 140 euros everywhere in Europe since release.

 

[reppin va]

Yup..the 8s were 140 here in Europe..but stateside the price was up there. I hooped in the 8s alot..but i dont know if it was just me..but they started to hurt my big toe alot..so i started hoopin again in the 7s. The 7s were soo much more comfy (due to the mesh and the midsole..let alone that max zoom in the back). If the flyweeve on the 8s had an inner bootie..it would have felt alot better from the midfoot to the toe. I really hope the 9s are softer inside. TBH the only KD models that hurt my foot was the 4s and the 8s..Ive hooped in all from the 1s thru the 8s. We will see if the flyknit will improve on the feeling of the shoe.

Allow me to repeat myself:

IN.

First two color ways are fire flames.

This feels like a sig which you'd REALLY have to try ruin with awful color blocking.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

I'm really feeling these. The 8's were terrible. May cop..

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Thank god. The 8's are arguably the worst in the KD sig line. Great comeback Nike!

Finally Nike is lowering the price point. Hopefully they do so with Lebron's next sig as well. I can see myself copping a couple pairs of these.

 

[koolkeith34]

This is the only other shoes besides J's that I buy. And with edition, the colorway possibilities, and guaranteed outlet pop ups..... I am in for at least 3 pairs. Can you imagine the WTKD pair? Siiiiiiick.

I think this is the best colorway so far. Sucks that that white flyknit upper will get dirty very easily from every day wear.

white everything gets, or "looks", dirty easily.

 

[kanyeezy411]

those whites are super clean 

 

[drisk34]

I have more than enough shoes in my collection that my white pairs dont get dirty very quickly at all. Im all in I like the white with red more than the navy though.
