Inspired by the basketball culture of parts of Southeast Asia, the Kobe 9 Premium features a distinct blue and red color pattern that takes its cues from the brightly painted Barangay courts where the game is often played. The woven patterns on the upper represent those found on traditional handwoven rugs. Prominently displayed on the outsole, a Tsinelas graphic is encased inside the clear patterned bottom. Releases May 23 on Nike.com (8am EDT/5am PDT).

PERSPECTIVES, SIZE 7 AND 7.5

ABLE TO ADD TO CART!

 

[ondiiish]

 
I couldn't really tell you for sure. I just know that based on my experience I ended going tts. They do run a little long but half sizing down made it pretty uncomfortable to me. I guess it would depend on how you want to use the shoes. For casual, going a half size up probably wont affect you too bad. If you balling it could because they all ready run a tad bit long. What pair are you trying to get? I would try and go into any footlockers, champs, nikes and see if they got those sizes to try on. I personally wouldn't take that gamble of just picking a half size up because these shoes are pretty expensive to have them not fit the way you would like. Just my opinion sir.

Going to wear them casually. Perspectives is what I'm copping, but I live in Finland so there is no footlockers etc. Not even one store in Finland is even selling bball shoes

. Going to order them from the UK FTL, first shipping to a friend of mine and then to me, so that's why returning isn't an option. I guess I should go TTS then, hoping that they will be big enough. Thanks for your help man!

It didn't take NDC long for them to switch those EM PRMs to TLO...

 

[addy85]

TLO only, man this will be tough but I hope I cop

 

[Karizma]

Im still trying to figure out what makes nike decide if its TLO or not. 

 

[jada2001retro]

It's mainly when Nike gets lots of questions about a shoe and it's somewhat "limited".

Still wondering why they would be stupid and put Carmine's as TLO.

 

[igniteandexcite]

Im still trying to figure out what makes nike decide if its TLO or not. 

Limited/amount of demand. These are really intricate and pairs on ebay were going for like 4 bills before it was announced they would release here.

 

[tr23]

I HATE TLO

 

[Karizma]

Camo futures were very limited and were not TLO.

 

[jada2001retro]

Not many people cared about the Camo Futures.

More wanted 5Lab3, which was TLO.

 

[fahqu001]

 

Repped.

It's funny how there were some who seemed upset that people didn't like these first EM colorways that released, and now some may get upset because people are actually interested in an EM now... but they consider it's for the wrong reason (that limited tag).

Guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't

 lol thats funny and true.You cant dislike something everyone likes or like what everyone hates nowadays with kicks.

Just like people who get mad at others wanting or waiting for the FK lows to drop.The fk is the reason people like the hightops.Nobody would be buying the highs if they were EM lol.You would be out there looking like you had on jodeci boots.Hell all of the em lows may still be sitting when the 10s come out.

Haha Jodeci. Blast from the past, that's for sure.

 

[thapointguy]

There goes that notion that Nike done away with TLO.

 

[kbtwofour]

 
In his defense, this link just posted to NDC not too long ago. 

Not really. He asked for the release date and the release date was posted on Nike's Twitter account a few days ago. A lot of the major shoe blogs also have articles about the shoes and the US release date. We have been talking about the shoes and release info since we found out the info from Nike. No excuse for being lazy and not at least putting in some effort by searching the last couple of pages. 

 

[Coptimus Prime]

I thought the EM's were 160$ just saw price ..Got a 25$ from NDC so good timing

 

[ultimo al]

TLO

....I wish I had a .GIF of Jollibee kicking a soda can or something. 

 

[piston honda]

What's the point of TLO—Is there some marketing/metrics advantage to having a shoe only accessible via a 3rd party website?

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Will give it a shot, and i think i have a pretty good chance seeing that nobody likes the em low... or do they like them now?

anything labeled "premium" will sell

 

[Kobekobe]

They want them now that it's TLO

 

[goat4521]

All the EM's on NDC have a FSR except for the Bruce Lee's. I will wait until these are on discount at the end of the summer and cop everything.

100% chance the premium pair coming out Friday will sell out right away, so if you are thinking these will sit like previous pairs you will miss out

 

[gtmorgan23]

so someone please school me on the TLO process so I can be ready friday morning. thanks in advance
