[babylon]

these things are TIGHT on my foot, much tighter than the 8s are. I may need at least a half size if not full size up. crazy

Do you have a wide foot? I'm a 10 in the highs and they fit perfect I was going for 10.5 so you recommend an 11 for me instead? I have a wide foot btw

 

[ocjays23]

clean!

I do have a wide foot yeah. I'd definitely say at least half a size up if you're going to ball in them. Full size for maximum casual comfort probably

Don't go a full size up that's crazy talk. I wear a 12 in the 8's and 9 ems and prefer my 9 highs in 11.5. These lows feel perfect in a 12 to me. If you went a half size down for the elites then go TTS you wont be sorry

 

[lane21]

That being said these moonwalkers were an easy pass with The Id's as an option. I even like the color purple but the shoe is about as plain as it gets. One big purple blob with a moon on the bottom = letdown IMO

 

[sneaksfiend]

Thanks guys I'll stick to 10.5 thx

 

[iks mod]

Definitely more snug than the elite high but I still went with my down a half. I was kind of torn between this and tts. We'll see how it goes I guess

Congrats.  Definitely not something that most managers would do on a release day shoe.  What did you tell him over the phone?  "I got these cheeseburgers man."  LOL

 

[kbtwofour]

Congrats to everyone who bought a pair to keep.

These look better in better, but wish they would a purple gradient like the Kobe 8's.

 

[bluntobject50]

Who's that in your avi?

Uncle Drew.

ive got 10.5 in all my other kobes including my em and elite high 9s. will these be too small in my usual sz 10.5?

I think he could just hear the anxiousness in my voice. He was cool as hell. Was shocked he agreed to hold it

 

[iks mod]

Quality is nice on these. I guess it better be though for a $200 low

If you haven't wore a flyknit low yet you won't really know what I'm talking about.

The 8s fit fine because they are EM and a little stretchier in the toe box.

These FK lows have no stretch whatsoever, and unlacing them doesn't even really do anything. If possible I'd urge anyone to try them on first before deciding on a size. I know that may be impossible.

 

[babylon]

I do wear a slightly cushioned sock, without a sock they fit a little better but still really snug in the toebox.

 

[lseasick]

Hoping to cop In-store this morning...missed the online release while working

 

[mez 0ne]

I go half a size down on the Kobe 9 Highs, I went TTS on the low. Hopefully these fit comfortably.

 

[bigmeech25]

I passed on these but with the way you guys are making it sound I hope the beetovens are this easy of a cop

 

[seminolesjordan]

100 percent agree, I was up in the air on these until I seen them on macullum in the d-league game but those beethovens have never been a question!

Took the words right out of my mouth. McCollum was hooping in them and they were looking clean.. I had to cop. Thanks to NDC for that 5 min check out this morning

 

[sneaksfiend]

Would u compare the fit to the Kobe 7

I can at least get in this one
