im just curious, since these are confirmed to be Philippines inspired.. why did they release it in europe 1st with a different tag/label to it (aka Premium)?

I don't know, but being that they released in UK, Philippines, and Taiwan, it gives me hope that they'll eventually release in the US, even if it's a QS in extremely limited fashion.

THE NIKE KOBE 9 EM "PHILIPPINES" | A VISUAL BREAKDOWN

As much as the market and footwear media highlights technology as the main selling driver of a shoe, sometimes there is no better way of communicating its value than sharing its aesthetic conceptual origins.

In the case of the Nike Kobe 9 EM "Philippines", we choose to champion the story behind the colorway. Albeit the shoe in itself is a technological wonder and a performance dream to use on court, the "Philippine" colorway conveys a deeper, more intimate basketball story; one that relays a country's fanatical love for the game.

In this edition of Visual Breakdown, we go deep into the designer's mind - how the inspiration came about, how he combined seemingly random facets of Filipino life and concocted a compelling storyline about the Filipino's passion for Basketball.

These lows are so tough to me.  

With all these international "limited" colorways dropping, I'm anxious/excited to see what USA gets.

KOBE IX LOW "HOMES"

All the hype over a shoe that look like a door mat! they look horrible IMO but I could see why young girls would love that sole....

Way to insult filipino culture.

Is that you Sterling?

@BLACKJESUS-23  very nice ID's. Does the print in the back look like it will come off easily over time?

I really wish they would have just put the Shozoku logo back there. A lot of room it just looks a little plain even with the 9 stitches.

I don't see how that's insulting. All he said was that the shoe looks like a doormat.

I don't like them either. They look like something you'd wear to match at your ugly sweater party. But come on dude look at your avy :x

Is it true the Kobe 9 Elite works for wide feet? The Kobe 9 Bruce Lee's were too narrow for my left foot and the rep from Niketown recommended the hightops. Also, why is there a GS 7 and a men's 7?

.....says the guy with WTKs for his avatar. Doormat shoes > mismatched shoes.

I'll cop the PP pair if they drop in US, not worth resale price to me. I just wanna see something new with flyknit already

b/c the sole looks like a flip flop?

c'mon son

am i missing something or nah? 

 

[urn0tlike]

Philippines remind me of blitz blues but with a crappy pattern.

 

[Larry Legend]

View media item 946930Gotta say these are the best EM IMO, still not straying from the elite run to buy any but these would be the ones if any

 

[kingsin]

if the Philippines comes to the US, i'd cop.

Dudes hate those but were praising the Bruce Lees? I still don't see the appeal with those
