THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

[imthef24nchise]

 

I never had a problem on kobes till wtk 8s and the preludes dropped. Now if it's limited, forget it around here.

True statement. Seems like even though these releases may be general. They sell out.

Why is that? Lebrons seem to ship in a higher quantity thus selling more. I never see Kobe's on sale or discounted. I know they are sometimes but it's rare. Kobe's sell out. I don't know if that's because they produce less. Or what.

The more I look at the Showtimes. I can't wear a Lakers fitted with these. More so a Sun's colorway....not a deal breaker tho

Showtimes are my 1st elite 9s fam. So ill ball with it tomorrow. With the EM 9s. Traction is way better with than the 8s (dusty floor). IMHO its 8s>9 ems for me. Maybe bec I balled with 8s a lot. Bout the TTS. I went half size down with the 9 elites. Heres a comparison with the 8s and 9s

PVs are size 9 and Elites are 8.5..

Thought I was the only one who had a .5 size drop between the two. 

 

[fwmj]

You and me and 1 million others lol...

Cross your fingers for some GR Kobe flyknit lows...

Although I highly doubt it.

proper flyknit lows are due in the fall says a friend's source at nike

definitely skipping all these EMs with that in mind (altho the Easters look pretty dope)

Saw some purple 54" laces at footlocker but that's probably too short even for a size 9, huh?

Yeah. You'd need a 63" lace for a sz 9

Nah fam. Got the size drop down info here from a NTer.

i respect your opinion, sir...

but, with all due respect, the Showtimes are a true "Los Angles Lakers" colorway...

are you sure you didn't accidently get PJ Tucker's Showtime PEs???

And the Suns colors are more black and orange than purple and orange.

I regret not getting the showtimes in a 11.

 

[tigo0240]

Showtimes weren't for me, but hope everyone who really wanted them was able to cop. Not feeling the superheros at all, and the gold packs look like a mix between the perspectives and details except...bland.


Selective EM 9s and looking forward to flyknit lows at some point.

I think early-mid summer at latest

 

[tagjr]

I'm a Lakers fan at heart. I think it's a mental thing being Laser Orange lol.

 

[ultimatecam]

Saw the Easter on someone feet today (he said he got them from Succezz in Chicago. They denied it) but they were incredible in person. I can't wait

Nike releases a purple and yellow pair.

LOGIC: not good enough. Resembles another teams colourway. WE WANT LAKER COLOURWAYS DAMNITTT!!!!

 

[earldagoat]

Already traded my Showtimes for a "Mystery 8 iD".

Baby bro really wanted these 9s, so I couldn't really say no.

All he'd tell me about the mystery 8 was that it has a blue glow sole.

Would you trust an eBay seller with a FSR of Easter's "In Hand and Ready to Ship" a week before the release date? What's the risk that they would be shady grey market or a early release pair? FYI: The seller is located in the US. 

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger now and not having to deal with raffles later this week....

Its most likely legit from the sounds of it.

So it's most likely legit pairs from a business that is just acting shady by letting their stock go a week ahead of time above retail?

I know the kobe 9 elite was inspired by paqious training shoe but damn. I'm watching him fight right now and this show is the same exact silhouette.

You need to post pics in the legit check section, but fakes or GM sellers usually don't bother with GR unless its Jays.

 

[battousai701]

put on the showtimes on foot today and tried on the lebron xi elites

store didnt have anymore more KDs which was very disappointing

 

[lewi1913]

I don't understand the midsole blue color on the easters, doesn't go well to me.

Still passing on the EM lows, all of them if I can.

Agreed. They have held zero appeal since day 1.
