Official Kobae XI thread

[jm1ke]

The traction is very unique on these. The middle design on the sole drops down about 1/16" to solid lines . The rest resembles the X's traction pattern, but thicker and more rigid. 

Length is 1/2" longer than X's IMO. These are 10.5 and I have a size 10 purple coming on Thursday. I have wide feet but I like my shoes snug for ball.   

zoom is thick! looks to be around 1/2" (13mm same as Lebron 13). Walking around the house I could feel the the zoom if i bounce on my heels.

I will be playing in these tomorrow afternoon. Excited to see if these perform as well as they look.

The section of multicolor looks so much better than the fake all multicolor one. Maybe it's just better color options surrounding it. IDK

nope thats just the massive difference between kobe retails and fakes.

Man the only thing i can keep saying is... all these Kobe's are keeping me from copping any jordans. Which isn't too bad of a trade off since they're the perfect work shoes. You're killing me mamba..

 

[urn0tlike]

Bhms are nothing special. They could easily pass as a gr and no one would know. The name will drive the hype. Purples and potential bruce lees all that interest me so far.

 

[taule]

is the kobe XI Engineered Mesh build have been released ?

 

[mastralf]

I'm interested in just about every pair shown....its gonna be a long year lol. Is anyone here still hoping and praying that we get some highs. I know people will shoot it down but I'm keeping my hopes up.

 

[macmeezy]

Looking forward to the bhm and all star xi's

 

[abuch47]

[macmeezy]

If them BHM didn't have a white sole I'd be all over these but just can't do it with that white bottom

Is that a white fly knit that everyone's been asking for?

Also I wonder if the design on the FK is painted on

 

[earlgotsole]

XI are simply Beautiful in person, Like The 8s refined Def a X2 for Me and they do Run a Tad big but not enough to go half sz down IMO im normally 9.5 and have a little space but Man these look sexy

Counting down the days to the Achilles

I like that white (grey?) looking pair up there. Wouldn't mess with that swirl effect like the black or red pair. If I'm going to get a purple pair I'll just get the GR pair to save some $ and with that 8/24 on the heel, can't pass up on that.

Almost looks like an oatmeal to me more than white... Unless it's like an off white?

 

[solesearchdsgns]

I'm digging that gum soled pair...imagine if that was a light MC weave

 

[superstarlord]

Maybe its just not on those pairs but no different colored outline option for the swoosh either

 

[mvplikekobe24]

That off white pair is fire! The pattern on the other pairs isnt great, just seems kinda random from that pic but we'll see what options nike gives us. Gum sole could be nice on these similar to that offwhite pair

 

[gtmorgan23]

Im digging the gum sole off white pair.

@zakuza86 where did you get the purples early if you don't mind me asking?

a couple of pages back someone posted a size 8 and 11 for sale. The same guy had a size 10 on ebay. The seller is from Memphis (Nike ES/Distribution Center).
