Official Kobae XI thread

[Blue Mamba]

To anyone that has ordered a Kobe shirt recently, are they the new athletic cut or are they dri-fit? Should you go TTS?

I would say generally Kobe shirts are a slimmer athletic cut. As long as they're dri-fit, go TTS, otherwise size up, they'll shrink. I got a drawer full of size L shirts that fit like M due to shrinking.

Yea for Kobe shirts I usually size up now with the athletic fit. Except the one that says Black Mamba with the LA metallic gold, that one fits way too big.

Yeah thats one of the few exceptions. For some reason that one fits like 2 sizes too big.

do the 60/40 blend black dri fit shirts shrink, might exchange for a bigger size.

The higher the polyester content, the less likely it will shrink.


If it fits well, just cold wash and ultra low dry or hang dry if you're afraid of shrinkage.

Oreos on NDC, if it hasn't been mentioned.

Is the construction the same as all the other XIs?  The TPU threads are less visible, are they there?

Don't get mine until weds... I'm curious too

Double on oreo or make an MC ID. Got an MC being made but im not sure what route to go

 

[kimterran]

All my Kobe shirts are TTS. I love their fit, too bad they're expensive lol

Neither. Get something older you missed out on or passed

Yeah... def gonna be waiting till these hit discount before considering. If it doesn't hit the discount, then I ain't trippin. It's not a MUST HAVE colorway in my opinion. 

This. Can live without them.

I passed on both, but IMO I would say get one of each.


I've really lost the desire the double up on anything. After so many shoes...it's just not worth it.

Why are there no size 9s on NDC and Nike SF? I called Nike SF on Thursday evening and the worker said that they never got a shipment of size 9s. Then on NDC, they have a full size run except for size 9. Does anyone know the reason why? I really want these and I prefer to get them from Nike.

I was wondering myself. Did anyone copped size 9 Oreos on NDC? If so please post.

IN.

I don't get the thought process of doubling up on shoes.  Do you guys do it with the "one to rock, one to stock" mentality, or are you just providing backups for when you wear through the first pair?

Idk, i just feel like if it was me I wouldn't ever double up on a shoe unless I had copped all the other colorways that I wanted.

 

[tr23]

Only pairs I ever plan on doubling on are the Kobe 8 Christmas and bred 1

 

[vinsanity]

Picked up the pale horse from the local Foot Locker, and they rang up as $200.

Really!!!....how did that happen, thought they were $220??....did they let u use a rewards disco on them?

No, they just rang up $200 automatically.

 

[Doom.]

That's the price I saw at one of my local FTL's as well. I wish I could take advantage.

I'm probably in the minority here but I think the Oreos are garbage. Easy pass!

I agree. Very underwhelming. Execution could have been much better.

I don't double up on the same colorway when buying multiples of one shoe is already excessive. Whatever floats ones boat or wallet lol.
