Thanks for the vid.
I like the details on the white pair more, but I'm just a sucker for black shoes. Hope I can get either pair at least, and will be satisfied with the shoes overall.

Nice review, I was more into the white but the black looks amazing. It's growing on me more and more

Well, it would teach nike a lesson for charging 250 for a $10 shoe

Lol. Ain't $10. Probably costs em at least 10 per shoe to get em shipped over here from China anyway. Material ain't cheap nowdays either.

Theyre nice, but 250 retail is insane.

I don't really like the price, but we're getting a lot quality wise. It's a better deal than paying 170 for a retro jordan you can't even ball in. And what's up with making basketball shoes you can't ball in?. JB's catering to hypebeasts now instead of players

People need to focus on the fact that these are made for hooping in. You're paying for performance and mainly the costs of research and development. Don't correlate the price with looks. Aside from that they're very comfortable and highly recommend them.

Anyone try out the Kobe Elites yet? Is there anything different besides the upper and carbon fiber? Can't wait until they go on sale...

Just tried mine on and they are pretty uncomfortable. Can't imagine playing 2 hours in these. My and1 tai chis I bought for 50 bucks are more comfortable

like 6-7 years ago AF1s cost $12 to make So that would be what? $16 at most to make now.
Those shoes have much better technology than AF1s but it still couldn't cost more than $30 to make
When these sell out, don't complain about a price hike on next years models and on retros. I will not pay 250, even as much as I want the South Beaches. I'm trying to get a Tier 0 shoe for that price, I will pay for exclusiveness, I will not pay for..... whatever it is that they are using to sell these.

If you take inflation into account, a $150 shoe from 10-11 years ago would now be about 230 with 4% inflation, so in real terms the price hike ain't that extreme

Played in my Taxis today. Shoes are a definitely much better for playing in than the regular Lebron IXs. I found the fit, comfort, cushioning, traction, and ventilation to all be improved. I would give these a solid 9.5/10 or a grade of an A. Definitely one of my favorite playing experiences in the last few years.
