Looks-wise: Kobe 9 Elite low
On-court performance: Kobe 9 EM low I like better, elite lows still aren't bad though

I really liked the sample pair with both swooshes black. Probably still get them, but they won't be the priority on that date. I'm sure others feel the same way and they'll be just as easy as the Moonwalkers for me.

^ the grey is much darker than I wanted, and the medial white side is the side that really makes the shoe pop and interests me. Ill have to see them in person but that Red Flyknit got me thinking of October instead of August!!!!!

How fast did the hypergrapes sell out online and was it easy or difficult without the bots?

Come on nike. I really want to give you my money for the kobe line but you're making it more and more difficult with drose mid ext and awful em colorways. Clean it up. What is this amateur hour?

they're IDs.
if you look closely you'll see that the red area was blocked by the shoe.

As long as you were there for launch time, you should not have had a problem. Seems everyone on here that went for them got through with ease.

Personally, I'm happy with both.
I have 5 highs atm, and 3 lows, like them all, but I'd burn all 3 pairs of lows on command if I had to make a choice between the two.

depends what you want it for
Ball or Casual, they are each strictly their own shoe.
FK High = Ball
FK Low = Casual
FK Highs as Casual = LOL
FK Lows for ball = Sore Ankles
EM9 = No opinion never tried them

my personal opinion the fk kobe 9 should be a high top shoe and a high top shoe only! Plus they are only 25 dollars less than the highs which is insane to me.

fk high casual and Em low casual for my personal use! I just think the fk lows are overated and overpriced but hey this is just my personal opinion.

2014 and we're still arguing about this.. really?
i have balled in lows religiously since the kobe 4 and have only sprained my ankle ONCE in the kobe 5's because i didn't tie them up to the last lace hole (like an idiot).
it's not the cut of the shoe, it's how low your foot actually sits to the ground.. simple physics

@al3x89 you didn't see my *imo did you!
I am only really responding to the idea that FK should be on a HIGH only. I ball in all lows, but the FK low does not feel like my EM8. I tried playing with HyperGrapes and it just did not have the support of the EM8.
The FK High doh, now thats my EM8 with more ankle support!

How does it not have the same support? All three shoes high, low and em use the same exact lunarlon midsole as their support system.

Yup I said that! I from IVs to 8s, never had sore ankles. Played in HG and I had sore ankles, it did not feel like the EM 8 at all. I have no idea what hte EM 9 feels like, but I only ball in EM 8s and FK highs. I think you are over reading 1 comment homey, but you have your opinion too.you said sore ankles.. so i corrected you since you're misinformed.@al3x89

This (somewhat). You can pull off highs casually without a problem. And FK lows are overpriced (reason for my hesitation on HGs) but I'll still buy BTs when the drop and put in an I'D order (With discount code of course)

I can't speak for the EM9, but when it comes to planting and cutting it makes a big difference.
again, IMO and Experience.
