May 3rd release date. Anyone have any idea with these are?

FTL EU announced the premium this morning. That pair on the US and EU calendar for may 3rd is not the EM premium that released on End and will release on FTL EU overnight. I posted it earlier today, that's the cement pair. The pair from today's new pic and release is "laser crimson/reflective silver/obsidian

May 3 pair is black/laser crimson/ wolf grey/ white

^ So the Kobe 9 EM Premium Laser Crimson is only euro exclusive or you see it releasing in US also?

 

[Van Nostrand]

Nobody knows yet.

There are a few SB's getting the same theme and colorway, so it's a good possibility.

Are the SB's that are getting them located statewide? To be 100% honest if these are dropping on Nike.com soon I'm just going to sell my Euro pair and grab for retail later. I hate over spending and then they end up being a easy grab here in US.

The Hacky Sack SBs that are similar to the Premiums are dropping on 4/19 on NDC.

Not sure what this would mean for a US release of the Hacky Sack 9s, but I wouldn't be too surprised if a US release did happen. Just my opinion, but it'd be kind of weird to me if they kept them Euro exclusive because I don't see why that theme has any Euro significance. With the Sparks, it made sense because it was part of a Ignite Shanghai event/pack, and the Barcelona releases had obvious Euro soccer ties. With these Hacky Sack 9s, I don't really get the connection unless Nike just wanted to make them Euro exclusive just for the hell of it.

Nothing's been confirmed either way though. So I'd just hold onto them til more info comes out.

View media item 916221I ended up spending a pretty penny to grab these from Europe. Is there a good chance they actually drop in the US?

By Releasing at NDC EUROPE by June don't know about US release

 

[mastralf]

Went down to nike and cop a 13 at least I guaranteed a pair no matter what size I get. Sadly I couldnt cancel my east bay order in time so I got a 12.5 coming. Gonna either send back or give a decent deal to someone who wants em.

[twnty8]

these need to drop in the states!

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

I can already imagine the dope photos you would have of these.

 

[nsquared8]

I think they've all been on a similar level, besides the Inspirations.
I don't think so.

The colorway is similar to the inspiration and they're $225. That's a lot for the average person to keep plopping down for kicks.

The Inspires had less pairs than the rest?  Obviously ASG and MPs were the rarest correct?

Yeah.

Well besides the Mercer ones, which were the rarest.

CMON, WHY CANT WE GET A DECENT KOBE IN THE STATES....

UGHHHHHHHHH

 

[MVP]

There have always been Kobe exclusives overseas. He's probably the most popular US athlete abroad, especially in Asia. And Nike likes to troll to generate hype here which they've done a masterful job of doing. There's always going to be exclusives whether it's with the country ie the NRGs or abroad. Nike just cares about the hype machine.
