Def NOT an upgrade in design. But it has potential for some amazing colorways.

You cannot ball in these, they are meant for casual wear. Look at the heelcup (there isn't one, talk about a rolled ankle and no stability). The basketball version has the plastic cup to keep your heel/foot locked in.

That external heel cup isnt needed....look at Hyperdunk lows and Hyperfuse lows. A bunch of players play in those

I will hold judgement on the elites. But I must say I'm not really feeling them in these first looks. I would rather make an ID if I get another X. I will say though my Settings are crazy loving that colorway.

From those pictures my first impressions on the Elite 9s are ALOT better.

I guess it's up to the color ways and "exclusivity" to save the Elite because the design is wiggity-wiggity-wack.

I like these for the reasons:
1. The colorway is great, obviously.
2. Not every freaking LBJ shoe needs two big swooshes, right? At least they could let them blend in from time to time.

I wasn't crazy about the IX Elite either but these just look terribly uninspired.

I SURE HOPE EVERYONE KEEPS HATING THE ELITES...WHICH WE ALL KNOW WONT HAPPEN... I LIKE THEM FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN...I EVEN LIKE THE COLORWAY THOUGH I AM NOT MUCH OF AN ORANGE FAN...OR KNICKS COLORWAYS...BUT IM WIT IT

I like the Elites too but they're not worth more than $200 to me

The model of the X Elite isn't bad imo
That colorway is a pass though.
Hopefully we see some great colorways and a damn drop in price from the supposed $285
Anything north of $250 is probably an instant pass.
Hell even over $200 is pushing it

Not a big departure from the original 10s. I like them

Between the elites price and that ugly half star cutout at the toe....this shoe is almost an easy pass. The price has gotta drop and that cutout needs to be fixed. If that happens, I'm all for it

Im soooo ready for these its not even funny. If ya'll understand the insane colorblocking thats gonna happen with this shoe, you'd be excited. These **** on the regular 10 to me and would've been the perfect evolution from the 9's. Watch opinions change with a white based colorway with translucent sole and different color carbon fiber.

Looks like I'm gonna spend the money I wanted to spend on the 10 elites on the IXs off the bay...
