Just noticed that myself about the flex points. Been trying to figure out what was throwing it off.

I'm guessing then it might cost as much as the elites.

I think that's a sign of how un-satisfying things have been.
I love the elites, but with them not being as available and in high demand I understand why people are in a hurry to get to the GR lows that they're used to.
Now that we're seeing the em lows, no one feels the designs are worth the price increase and the c/w's haven't been anything special
...so people are looking forward to seeing a flyknit low that is worth the excitement.
If the EM lows dropped in an undoubtedly dope c/w that's available to everyone, everyone wouldn't be begging for more.

Yeah, I agree it's a hassle. But it'll be better than waiting 5 days to receive it in the mail.

I hate the fact that these Savage Sneaker Kids have Effed Up things to the point where EVERY SINGLE RELEASE is a MF'N RAFFLE.
And shame on Footlocker for succumbing to their petty pressure...

cant figure out why im not so hyped for these lows. when pics originally surfaced, it was a must cop. now, meh. if i didnt own so many pairs of 8's i think it would be a different story.

Anyone know where I can get the Kobe Elite Detail in 9 or 9.5? Looking for a friend, but couldn't get them on NDC last week.

^That sucks.
They're FcFS around me, I can't stand raffles.
They shouldn't that be hard to get online though.

Sorry for the potentially dumb question but what is different about the "flex points"?

lol how come people aren't more outraged that the flyknit lows aren't supposedly come out until september. Isn't that usually when the news leaks and we start getting pics of the new line? Won't Nike just mess up the release on those if people are eager for the Kobe 10s or vice versa mess up the Kobe 10 launch cause the 9 flyknit lows are so fire?

he's talking about the triangular shaped cutouts in the EM above the bottom lace eyelets on the 8s

Not a dumb question. If you look at the 8s right between the first and second eyelets starting at the toebox...that's the flex point....basically makes it more a natural movement...I am a bit disappointed that they don't have it on the IXs but they also didn't have it on the IV or Vs and I loved those to death on the court....we will just have to wait and see how these perform overall

NAH, bruh.
You're chilling for a FEW DAYS and then get a shipment to you at your front door. Don't get no better than that as long as the shipping isn't major.
Who cares if you have the shoe on Release Date or not... nobody's gonna give a Eff.

Been finding Inspirations at retail in my size pretty consistently...you guys think the same will happen to the Details or am I just getting my hopes up? Been considering waiting it out until the hype dies down a bit...but not sure if it will or not.

The gold lows look good... and I'm sure they will perform well. The flywire integration in the 9 lows would have made the 8 a better shoe IMO. Since the EM/fuse softens up and gives a bit over time, the flywire would seem to help lock in the foot longer term. This is really the only major selling point for me though... The traction on the 9 is great, but I don't know that overall the shoe will be a drastic improvement over the 8.
Gonna have to hold out. Hope all those who are after these will come up with them Saturday

8's look a lot more sleek these kinda look clunky. Still coppin only on the cheap and waiting for the right CW.
