THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

[gtmorgan23]

Maybe a sweet medial fade will be added to the red FK. That would help some

 

[GrQQvy_Que]

Yeah the grey is like a cloudy sky more going grey than any blue NIKE lied with that one

 

[215 kobehead]

I must admit they look better than I thought they would but the only thing I like about them is the color on the flywire which isn't that special. these are so dope! Must cop.

SMFH...been waiting since March to see those "University Reds" Flynits.....and i gotta admit im VERY dissapointed with the way they look..SMH...all the potential of adding diff blended colors in the Flynit and Nike says "screw it!, just make the damn things all Red ..peeps will still buy it!"...well guess what Nike?....not this guy!!...that really sucks tho that they give us ANOTHER "Solid" Flynit colorway...i really had high hopes for that colorway..damn..oh well?...time to start savin for the "Highs" again..lol

This is what I was expecting. Plain, flat, all red flyknit. We still have a lot of months left for the Kobe 9's cycle, I just hope they add some ID options to make up for all the disappointment lately.

View media item 1110459Really liking these not as comfy as regular IX due to the upper. These fit TTS also

 

[GrQQvy_Que]

Not going to spend my money on them but they're dope nonetheless
Repped bruh

Lazy color blocking on the red Elite Low.

Really bothers me now that the two Nike Swooshes are not flush. The black one is placed so high on the shoe. Is it just the angle or is there something wrong wrong with that pair? 

 
I guess the toe of the Hyper Grape is a bit darker shade of purple.

But I still think the Beethoven is the best of the three. It at least has some obvious variance in the flyknit.

 

[tigo0240]

Yeah $225 is asking too much. But at least Nike didn't **** the bed with the EXT design. Looks good fam.

 

[GrQQvy_Que]

I think the swoosh is always like that

 

[rl_wayne]

The swooshes are like that on every pair regardless of colorway

 

[thapointguy]

Man the tongue is kinda high on the EXT though. Wish they etched a Swoosh on the middle of the shoe instead. The reflection from the chrome is nice actually. Do they look good with shorts?

Haven't tried em with shorts yet but I reckon they would go well, the tongue can sit lower than that I pulled it up a fair but for those photos and laces being tied up would make it sit lower

 

[dark steel]

After looking at that red fk low pic some more, I think I'm gonna pass on 'em...

Now I'm gonna snatch up the Beethovens and just make a couple more FK iDs.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

just seen this pic.. 

 

[tdiddy24]

Is it me or are the em metallics that released today just bland looking? Also to those that mentioned the $10 price hike, NIKE did add that " premium " name to the shoe to make up for it I guess. I was hoping these looked better in person but I guess I was wrong. I think I'll pass and just hope the 16th comes very quickly, def copping the beets.

So....for those that care, Icysole reporting that the Chinas are overseas exclusive. Are they usually reliable with that sort of info?

Not sure, but the Kobe 7 and 8 had China exclusives, so they're probably correct about the 9.

 

[sneakersberry]

It's good strategy for Nike. Make people don't like normal flyknit ver. instead make flyknit ID. Lol

 

[had pants]

just seen this pic..

I'll take it.

So the white swoosh will stay

Not sure how reliable Icysole is, but I wouldn't be surprised by that. There's been China/Asia exclusive Kobes going back to the Huaraches & 1s. Overseas exclusives with Kobes aren't anything new.

 

[andersonjames]

Im gonna laugh though when it goes from " man the red fk is dissapointing" to "heres a pic of my latest pick up" on its release day.

Being disappointed is not the same as saying I won't cop. I probably will. 'm just wishing it had been done better.

 

[dark steel]

So the white swoosh will stay

Yep

 

[GrQQvy_Que]

Lol I was basically trolling waiting on those to come with the....

Omfg white swoosh how will I live with the white swoosh it'll ruin my fit.. It'll get dirty too quick it'll look stupid to have a black swoosh on top of a all white inner nonsense
