My guess would be more like the Venoms box.(It was a lot smaller)

 

[diabolicaldeezy]

SMH @ All the Trouble Cats are having with these EM Lows already... and for $160 at that.

TURRIBLE. The Kobe 8's are rolling over in their grave.

 

[ultimatecam]

Kobe 9 low box is much smaller then any other Kobe box by a decent amount.

They're not rolling, they're laughing...

Just waiting for the Flyknit lows now...

The size 9 box reminded me of a chuck taylor box it was really skinny.

 

[xjsmoove23]

Man the Kobe 8s did the same thing.

 

[geoff2005]

IMO it's annoying but who cares. really. especially if you'll ball in them.

Semi agree. I get that they'll get torn up anyway but for the price you'd expect the best product possible. It's like buying a shirt with one sleeve longer than the other and shrugging it off because it'll get messed up anyway

same semi agree. if these were clothes they end up at outlets or marshalls as B grades

 

[lypac]

different sizes though

You went half size down on these or do you normally wear a 10. I'm think about going up half size. They feel a little tight to me.

Were you playing basketball or football because it looked like you did a toe tap in the endzone. Atleast you know you got two feet down.

I wonder if Kobe and PJ Tucker are homies

 

[la kb24]

10 is my real size, I always gone a size up on 8s but the 9 elite I went to my real size, and when I got the ticket I didnt how these would be so I stuck with the size as the elite. I would prefer to gone to 10.5 but the 10 fits okay. I like the extra room in the toe area for my kobes

 

[Kobekobe]

why are people complaining about the stains?

the 8's had the SAME upper (EM), so yes, they will get dirty if you play in them.

it's easy to separate the people who've been following this line for years vs the people who jumped on the 9 hype train

why are you mad people are doggin on the lows? It almost seems like you're constantly defending them. You don't have to change everyone's opinion man. It is what it is. If people are new to this forum because they like the high tops, then let them enjoy it. Don't try to single them out as people who are on a "hype train". That's one of the great things about the 9.. the fact that it's different! Something for everyone.

Showtimes or Easters

Both!

Not sure.... but PJ is a well documented sneaker-head/junkie. I live in PHX,  and stories about this pop up from time to time.

basketball 

 

[dvoxojo]

Heads up, Lakewood HoH has 2 size 8 and a size 12 left in the Kobe 9 lows.

 

[mastralf]

Just took my inspirations back. Man that was hard to do but I'm pretty sure they will restock later online so I can half size down. Just hoping thst a half size down works if not I'm gonna be pretty disappointed.
