[childishlatino]

Since we are talking the future of Nike sigs

I feel like nike needs to make a sig line for bigmen choose an athlete like Anthony Davis or Lamarcus Aldrige

Can't wait to see what these look like... I'm scared on the price and availability on these tho. Flyknit isn't cheap.

it is, thats why Nike uses it

all "weight saving" tech is cheap, which is why the whole performance sneaker industry is pushing that deal

There are pros and cons to all sneaker tech, flyknit is a cheaper alternative to leather but it provides a better fit than leather

This shaving weight direction Nike is heading in is beneficial for their wallets but it is also better for players physically

Flyknit is still relatively new, so while the material is cheap, the production process is still a bit costly if I'm not mistaken.

meh, Nike has been sold enough to cover the overhead, they collectin profit checks on flyknit products now mane

oh, my point wasnt quality bro, i know the term "cheap" has a low quality connotation, im looking at it from a cost perspective tho

the whole hyperfuse material is cheap/inexpensive for NIKE, but my hyperfuses still look new, and have easily outlasted all of the leather bball shoes i hooped in during middle school through hs

im just sayin tho, flyknit IS inexpensive, and the only explanation for NIKE charging a price of 160+ (if they do) is because they know dudes will buy it and its NIKE, not because "flyknit isnt cheap"

 

[hypebeast5]

I get you bro, hyperfuse is easily the cheapest material, cost wise and nike likes to throw it on all their ball shoes

My point is only while the materials are inexpensive they are somewhat good

 

[htownshoefiend]

Just saw the pic on the homepage...

Disappointed. Kobe 8s are my favorite besides the 6s now.

Guess I'l have to wait till next season for a better looking kobe shoe.... if he's still playing that is.

 

[laces1983]

I heard some where that Kobe wants to starts his own brand similar to how Jordan did it

gosh....can he please do something other than try to be like mike.....jordan himself said that kobe steals all his moves....looks like on and off the court now!

Really?

What move/moves did he "steal" that no body who ever picked up a basketball before MJ hasn't done?

I'll wait..

 

[bsaula]

i hope we see official pics this week 

 

[laces1983]

Ask Jordan since I said jordan said!

 

[Gordonson]

[xxnamebrandxx]

The Kobe 9 highs are exactly what the XX3s should have been.

 

[laces1983]

[alphawolf]

Thanks for disappearing.

 

[denksss]

So far the highs look horrible IMO, hopefully the lows look better.

Yeah they're getting mixed opinions right now

Come Dec 4 I believe minds will change

I like em now, gonna love em when detailed pics come

I'm anxious to see the inside of the shoe really

 

[KMante]

Anthony Davis got next. They got a logo for him already

 

 

[domosirchazzo]

So I guess I should come out and say that I love both the high and mid (more so the high) to avoid being lumped into the group everyone complains about switching their opinion after the hype builds.

Lol
