Official Kobae XI thread

[blacklion23]

I gotta go with the VI.

 

[dolphinfan]

Is there a poll out there for the best Kobe? I hear a lot about the 5s (great shoe to ball in). Is that the general consensus?

5s are great. But the durability of the shoe is not so great.
6s are great. But the traction pattern wore down very fast and I'm not even an explosive player
8s are great but the lunar insole is only good for 2 or 3 months of regular ball
9s are same as 8s but fit a lil more narrow in the forefoot and have goat traction.
Those are the best 4 for basketball no doubt. I could go into more detail but tldr

 

[Naruto]

If I had to choose I'd take 5 or 6

You're right, the 5s durability wasn't that great.

I hate you.

Not really, but you know...

What are the chances we see the Easters before the ASG ID is gone? I'm hesitant to pay that brutal ID price and have high hopes for the Easter to quench my thirst

I'm honestly not even sure how nice I think the Eulogy is, I just want it because of what the shoe represents. It's an alright colorway. Am I alone in this?

 

[macstizo]

I'm sure i'm gonna get owned and there won't be a single pair in 12.5...due to how limited these pairs will be...but hoping for the best...

They're a pass for me because of the clear soles and I can't pull off purple kicks

The 5s are up there.

For me it goes:

8

9

5

4

 

[shaboy]

9s have goat traction.

This is undeniable.

Wish they'd just put that foot map outsole on the 11s. Could've really elevated them.

The clear soles kill it for me. I'm good with my purple fade 8s.

My Collection so far...

 

[Blanc]

Would definitely like to see more colorways with solid soles release.

My All Stars just arrived yesterday from OSKicks. The little details that they put into the tongue and the shoe overall is pretty cool. First pair of XIs for me.

I also took a "Mamba Mastery" group shot of my Nike Kobe ASG shoes and just thought I'd share. Included the Huarache 2K4s and 2K5s as well.

rl_wayne Now to start the FTB pack!

 

[nyuofa]

Do you guys wear any/all of those? I have the 4 that have been released, but only wearing the red/Achilles Heel. It's a pretty comfy shoe to wear during work.
