those are a basic yet clean colorway, why are they $170?

I think the kobe 8 pp was $10 more expensive than normal 8's for some reason too.

You telling me you can't go on ID and make that lame-*** black/grey colorway right now? 

 

[7strings]

PS -  if anyone is in or a Mod over at that KD&Kobe group on Facebook could I get an invite? Or at least make some friends in it. The group says please be friends with at least 5 members...didn't know any

Just came from my hoh seen the Hg's in person. They are straight fiya. Entered raffle they told me not many have entered so I should be straight this Saturday.

 

[joesanerd]

Don't know whether to get phillippines or the hg...

My guess is somewhere between the two.  I have no clue though

I tried a pair of the hyper grapes on... I have the elites in a 9.5 (my tts) and the em in a 10 (usual Kobe 4-8 sizing). The 10 fit way better in the elite low for me than the 9.5, which sucks because I ordered my elite low id in a 9.5.

 

[isniker]

havent followed each page here but

has anyone seen those Elite High replicas up close?, is it even flynit? I didn't know they make em already, first time seeing fakes of the highs today, it was the gumbo & i noticed the midsole has colored paint speckles instead of water drops

 

edit: just found some rep youtube vids & they're exactly like the ones i saw today, i guess nothing to worry about if you have eyes

 

[battousai701]

money wise... get the hyper grapes

unless u can get the philippines for retail or cheaper

 

[joesanerd]

Yea I passed on the phillippines... Going with the elite lows... Too nice of a shoe to pass on after finally seeing them in person.

[ddash]

So do we know what color that swoosh is officially?

 

[soud]

Nike Kobe 9 EM GS - Hyper Cobalt/White 

 

[rell826]

honestly id rock all three of them. I almost sent him an email just to see what he charges for this. I wouldnt do it because I dont want my elites gutted buy I am curious at the cost.

You would have wasted the keystrokes. His customs are 1 of 1s.

Literally forgot about the Michael Jackson's dropping Saturday. Tight that I'm going to miss out on these. Should have kept track of these. Definitely have to get the Beethoven's.

 

[s dubl]

Vans outsoles on that pair?

 

[rfx45]

Finally got around lace swapping the goldies. Much cleaner.

 

[seminolesjordan]

Tried on those Kobe 9 Elite Highs last week for the first time and as I thought I can't jiggy with that high top design or maybe I have fat calfs lol.. But yeah upcoming road trip canceled so the HG's are a must cop!

So when the say "conversion" dude literally took a pair of Kobe Elite Highs and just chopped the top off? Sick idea I would definitely rock a couple of those

 

[kjparfekt]

Wonder how he got the tongue right and the plastic heel counter. For casual wear they look hot!
