Placed my order a few days ago with lmtdsupply for the BHM's, just emailed them to see if I could get a credit for that "vino24" discount. Fingers Crossed.

Any under sites selling the BHM under retail? LMTD doesn't have my size anymore :\
Trying to cop and return my pair from NDC
Won't save you much, shipping was like 20 bucks when I entered my address (I've never ordered from them before)

Right in the feels...
Well we all know the story of what happened 10 years ago. But 9 years ago, Niketown LA released the 81 point ZK1's.
There was a website named why 81.com. You could register there for the scavenger hunt. I met up with another NT'er (Chris) and we drove to Niketown LA.
They gave us card and there were 4 places we had to visit. I'll be honest. I don't even remember the 4 places. Me and Chris rode around LA speeding to get to these spots. We finally got to the 3rd spot and found out NTLA was the last place. There were only 81 pairs available and the only size you could get was size 14. Crazy enough that was my size and Chris's size.
We made it back but knew we still had a chance. We got in line and we both got pairs....

Was a great day....
A year later, Nike had a promotion for the ZK2's. I really forget how this one went down but Nike had opened a new store in LA. I truly forget the name and even how the promotion went down, but if you won you got to play in this game and they told us we would be playing with Kobe. Turns out Kobe would only referee the game. At the end of the game they let us buy the ZK2's a week early and Kobe would autograph them. I had brought the 81 point shoes with me. I snuck one in the box with the ZK2's. He looked at the ZK1...but signed it anyway. Just sucks he was only doing the KB24 auto for this promotion. I have since sold those ZK2's... But these will never leave...

Quick initial thoughts on the 11 -
Wore them to lift today and did some warm up/plyometric/sprint work before (no actual in game or on court use but the aerobic room I used is hardwood and decently kept.
So when I first put these on...wow, pretty damn comfy, like one of the most comfy basketball shoes in recent memory. The tongue padding is amazing - it's like a memory foam almost, heel padding is pretty thick, and even though its got the minimalist lunarlon/zoom set up, it all comes together nicely...super comfy shoe. I imagine all you guys who just use for casual will love just chilling with these on your feet all day. Fit and lockdown are amazing. Not sure what all the fuss about sizing was earlier in this thread. Pretty much TTS though if you were going to do anything I'd size down a 1/2 size as I def think some stretching in flyknit will happen after some more use.
And then there's traction. I can't give a legit/completely accurate assessment yet. I'm a guard who relies on quickness and cuts, so traction is HUGE. Every cut I made laterally while sprinting/moving forward or back, these things responded really well. They actually felt great. Then I started to do some full on sprints/suicides getting up towards my max speed and when I made my hard plant and cut to sprint the other way there was some def slipping on my plant foot. I'm a bit worried what might happen on your basic 24 hour/community center hard courts when you are getting up to higher speeds and have to make a hard, change of direction cut. Other smaller cuts, and movements when not towards top speed seem like these will be legit. So pretty much bigger guys, or maybe spot up shooters who play at a little slower pace should be completely fine and the traction will prob be pretty good. I don't think they're as bad as some say but I think quicker players might run into some problems.
Overall, these things look sick, feel amazing, and Im holding out hope they will hold up traction wise in game. If they do this could be one of it not my favorite kobes/bball shoes depending on the colorways they end up giving us (purple/whites and del sols please).
