I hope the details aren't Nike enhancing there pics again because they are sick and that pic made the LeBron low look even sh***ier than it already looked.

That detail on the Kobe Easters

hmm new pics are different in many ways to what's been posted.

When did that cracked eggshell look get added to these?

I'm loving this color way for sure.

Hype train is now boarding.

You ain't lying


Let the hype begin I guess I just want my pair.

 

[MVP]

Easters jeez

The earlier pics shows purple shozuku on the heel and this shows white/ silver hmmmmmm.

At Foodlocker but they are all gone now

Nice shorts, would love them even more if the colors were reversed. The orange is too bright for me but those BHM's man

I'm now officially pissed I slept on them.

I'm feeling the easter's more not gonna lie, if I didn't have an anniversary with my gf on the 31st I'd pry cop but better get her a gift instead ha

I got this photo from a WDYWT on Sole Collector.  These look nothing like the ones in that photo above.

Ok Nike's pic looks way different again but this time the design is different. Aren't the latest user pics real of the retail version? Meaning it won't look like Nike's. I like the subtle snakeskin better so I'm hoping the NT pics are more accurate.

Either way, I love how the Kobes are a design and not simply a colorway.

You're supposed to lovingly and selflessly get her a gift....in the hopes that she gifts you back with a pair of Kobes.

I am definitely not feeling the new look of the easters.

 

[unclerukus]

Easters are straight crack!

Definitely have some differences but I'm going with Nike's press release being what release's. Can't see them making that big of a mistake putting a different version on the press release than what releases.

 

[gil23]

Wtb the pairs that been posted...is Nike lying or what's going on.

I need an explanation!!

 

[thapointguy]

yeah i prefer the purple heel shozoku and a black swoosh should've stayed. I think these are samples though so no worries. Check T11Times post a few pages back and that's the one will get from what we saw .

 

[springhettios]

I am trying to upload a pic from someone who has them but it won't post cause I am still new here.  It says held for mods to approve but never gets posted.

Edit: Neve rmind, good to go.

Give it time they'll allow the post eventually, had the same thing when I first started

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but that particular pair of Kobe 1's never released either right? Dun dun!!! Not a good sign!

~This is how it was (unreleased shoe) and this is how it is (another unreleased shoe)~

And I wouldn't mind if they release the purple gradient as Elites, gimme a full length zoom insole or a heel and forefoot zoom, tired of the lunar, and don't want the Nike ID heel zoom insole.

Those released

They were like the limited China edition or something...

Page not working anymore

Man I see why I spend most of my time here, everyone in the Jordan threads are know-it-alls I swear

They're all experts on  quality 

 

[urn0tlike]

Wheres the guy that said the manager showed him the easters. He can confirm which it is.

i like the Black swoosh aswell but looks to me that it has possibly a Fiberglass Shozoku... i really like that crack shell detail though... cant wait to see whats official

 

[bwsteg]

easters looking good...

 

[Champagne_Taste]

Idc I like both versions but the press release photos are better.
