I've noticed that launch times have changed from 7am to 10 am est.  I wonder why?

Nice pics above. Saw the Easters for the first time and got to try on tts and half size up. Half size up is just too big. Going TTS when I cop. Definitely a nice shoe and feels more durable than the 8s for sure. I was a non believer of the lows too.

Probably to make it fairer for West coast coppers

 

[mister friendly]

Yeah I would assume that too

 

[igniteandexcite]

I wonder why they didn't change the time for the Hero Pack launch.

 

[T0INE]

Really like the black/crimson IXs.

Glad they're a super GR so I can cop them down the line.

 

[gasneakerhead]

how do the 9s fit? looking to get details and all stars

Perhaps sympathy for those in the west coast that have to wake up at 5:00am on a Saturday? I like the 10:00am (EST) release time better imo.

Elites run .5 big if you have narrow/normal feet

TTS if your feet are wide/flat

IMO.

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

General consensus seems to be...

Highs: TTS or .5 down

Lows: TTS

I wear 10.5 in the 8's and 10.5 in the 9 low's.

 

[legacy2911]

Copping all 3. Yeah I said it....

The black pair, sure, but those other two.....what the hell is Nike thinking, they look something made for Willy Wonka, and whoever came up with homo tiger nickname you are my hero LMAO

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

Don't know if anybody already posted this but there is a FSR on FTL for the the bruce lees if anyone is interested. I finally copped my size 10.

Damn... I'm way too late. Oh well. I'm sure more pairs will pop back up soon.

 

[jay kickz till i die]

just got my first pair of kobe IXs and i gotta say i'm impressed. i've been on a bit of a flyknit binge in terms of nike running lately so these were right up my ally. hopefully they take it easy on the elite releases or my pockets are gonna be hurting in a bad way but anyways, here are a few pics i snapped of the details.

I want the crimsons but I might hold off if I can get them for less than retail down the line.

 

[Larry Legend]

^^^^awesome pics

it really does depend on your feet...

your best bet is to simply try on a pair of both lows and highs

Lows: Easters are sitting everywhere

highs: the Heros I think will sit so you can try on a pair of highs

hmm I wouldnt take that chance bro. judging by how quick they went on shoegistics, these might be a sell out

I forgot to put "IMO" in my post. I know everyone's feet are different and people have their own personal preference on how they want their shoes to fit. I just posted what I observed to be the general consensus from reading through this thread. I agree. Go try them on.

Picked up my first pair of 9's a few hours ago (Easter's). Bday coupon for the win!

so no fancy name? just ''black/white''? i would have thought ''black/crimson''

The beasts on eBay have dubbed them the yeezys

 

[tr23]

If that previous post is true with 2 pairs per customer you should be ok and not have to worry about the "beast". Seems to be a straight GR

Gotta be the "Michael Jackson"

 

[ocjays23]

Saving a lot of money this year.  Nike definitely is not putting out colorways that interest me.  All the patterns and bright colors mashed together.  Man, that combo rarely works for me.  All I want is a nice clean flyknit Kobe low black and white GR release. Similar to the FK HTM low without the 2k price tag.
