I think they're alright, what I think most people are "hating" on is that it lacks the WOW factor. They look real simple/basic tbh.I know people have different opinions and im not hating but just curious. .
People who like these......what exactly do u like about them?

At the 1:30 mark Kobe confirms they are in the lab working on the 12. Happy to see it will continue.
Yes indeed they are. I have mentioned this multiple times way earlier. What they are attempting with the 12 will be crazy mind blowing! As for these 11s, they are real solid.

To be Kobe's last shoe while he leaves the game, I think people wanted something more to do it justice.
These will be a nice pair for the gym, to ball in, hopefully comfortable enough to do whatever. However, these def won't be the shoes that you put on ice and cherish forever (which I assume is what most people were expecting).

They look good.
1. Love flyknit for basketball, I understand people don't like how they've used it in the past with the glue making it firm but this has never bothered me. Also looking forward to seeing how the TPU strands reinforce the upper. Funny because I remember speaking to someone that works at Nike about how I thought they could strengthen their flyknit and flyweave with some type of reinforcement material. Explained to them how in structural engineering we can use different materials (rebar, wire mesh, fiber-reinforced) within concrete to reinforce the concrete while make it more flexible and hold better in shear. They told me they had something in the works so this must be it.I know people have different opinions and im not hating but just curious. .

It reminds me of a Nike SB type of shoe for some reason. I think they're aight.
That's what Tinker said they were going for as far as design. They focused more on performance.

Lol yea reminds me of a soccer/vans shoesIt reminds me of a Nike SB type of shoe for some reason. I think they're aight.

2. The midsole having zoom in the heal is clutch. I remember with the VIII's I liked to switch in my LeBron XI midsoles that had the zoom and I thought it made the shoe perform even better. Also happy to see they are continuing the free design in the midsole, it's not as flexible as if it were used within the sole as well but still adds flexibility compared to normal midsoles.
3. Since the IV I have loved playing in a low cut so seeing that it will be a low makes me very happy. The IX high elite was great because it did perform like a low, but I still preferred the freedom above my ankle.
4. Also the different color patterns available for flyknit (even though I'm still waiting on a blue/green dominant flyknit Kobe) make this shoe have plenty of creative possibilities.
5. Finally I like the clear sole showing the midsole. Reminds me of when Tinker decided to make visible air units. I've always been a fan of transparency in architecture because as a structural engineer this let's some of my work show rather having the structure hidden behind facades and walls. So seeing the inner workings of a shoe is a concept I like and appreciate.
haha only mentioned twice out of 5 points so wasn't to much. just explaining where I was coming fromI didn't catch it... Are you a structural engineer?
