Official Kobae XI thread

I'm at the Queenstown Factory Store in Md and the all stars are here for $159.99 size 8-12.

Haven't been in here in a while since taking L's on the FTB 11s

What happened to the Achilles on NDC??? Did they get marked down to clearance?? 

They are saying they're sold out

rumor has it they're going to hit the outlets

 

[nyc757]

If anyone cares, the "Tinker" has a red Nike Air stitched on the heel (mimicking the AJ3s) and the "Mark Parker" pair has protruding spikes like the Air Yeezy 2. Also the "Muse" Pack is the last of the Flyknit releases.

So the FCB, 4KB and the remaining Gr Elite Lows arent releasing? This is the first Ive heard of this. Its not that many non-elite cws to fill the remaining calendar given the XII will drop in Dec.

Easters go on discount yet? Finally saw them in person today... FIRE

also liked the look and feel of the EM aces. If those ever go for like $80 would instantly be copped. I'm a sucker for mainly grey shoes. Remind me of my OG hyper fuse lows

20% off at footlocker when you use the code

Thanks but mean steeper discount

My wallet can get behind the Parkers being the last flyknit pair but I guess it'll be a wait and see thing.

 

[goat4521]

I don't see those being the last flyknit model. It just wouldn't make sense.

Even when we have a list of upcoming cw's still to release after the 'Muse' pack..... 

 

[vinotwofour]

if the Muse are the last FK, I'm going back and picking up White Horses and all the other pairs on discount. 

 

[drisk34]

i'll be happy if thats the last of the flyknit

 

[passthatjawn]

The Muse pack are not the last 11s.  And as for the iDs, a tweet went out about an hr ago saying they'll be back in a couple weeks.  Wouldn't be surprised if there is a good old 'multi-color' included.  You would think 'multicolor' has been played out, but in case you haven't noticed, there's new multi Flyknit Racer about to release next month, which will sell out.  I don't see Nike leaving money on the table and not releasing a true multi Kobe 11 on iD.  A multi 11 would not look as fantastic as the 9 multi, but it would be close.

 

[superstarlord]

We need a wolf grey sole option if multi color hits on iD

I think the multi ID could actually be better on the 11's. 9's are hard to beat but the 11's got potential.

So I finally got my last emperors in hand and compared them to my NIKEID's.

1. The flyknit quality on the GR is not even close to the terrible quality of the ID flyknit. The best way I can describe it is that the flyknit is "flat", whereas on the GR, you can actually (if you wanted to) pick out each of the strands of flyknit and "loosen the flyknit" .. that is not possible on the IDs.

2. The colour of the 'black' ID is more like a very dark charcoal grey.

3. The thickness of the flyknit on the GR pair is thicker than the ID pair.

Thanks for taking those pics. Black ID's look terrible next to the Last Emperors.

It sucks that they're charging us more money for a lesser quality product. I understand that you get to customize it but the quality should be the same.

 

[619destroyer858]

The prices on the FTB 11's have went down a little to around 800-900 but I still can't afford to pay those prices. I am getting really impatient due to the fact they also took down the IDs.

damn thats a lot still

Exactly why I don't like ID's and don't get them.

I'm glad you got a chance to try a GR pair. I remember you said you enjoyed the ID. I personally couldn't take the drop in quality, especially not with them charging more.

If you got the 30% off email from Nike would make it a sweeter deal, only if they aren't excluded from the discount. Glad I was able to sell my pair without taking a big hit.

 

[bigboi6]

picked these up at the outlet yesterday. 40% off plus an additional 20% on top of that. everything came out to about $80

I didn't know any better. I saw them in store and then at home, but I never compared the two hand in hand.

The Muse pack are not the last 11s.  

This is what I was thinking but thought he heard something new.

Repped. 

Damn that sucks. 

How is the fit between the two?

This. 

Everyone got excited when they gave you more options than normal and now we know why. 

I knew I shouldve got more IX IDs

The 'white', 'Beethoven', whatever option you want to call is is solid. It's the only 11 iD I currently own.  IMO, the rest are garbage, BUT...  I think people are going to be shocked regarding the new Sunset options because I think they're true Flyknit weaves.  If those are not put back up as options when they put the 11s live again, I think people are going to be very disappointed...especially when pics start coming coming in.  People hibernated on them because of the FTB Pack, BLs, and the Mamba Day iDs.
