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

[thapointguy]

I like all the different versions of the 9, but the Elite Lows are definitely the clunkiest. Outsole feels so hard and sounds like a woman in high heels at times

Yeah i was going to point this out. Glad you did so it's not just me. I prefer the 8s as a whole.

It's not that I don't like the EM material, I just don't like the shape of the 9s. The GS's reduced size only makes it look even more misshapen.

Not sure if this is just my Footlockers/Champ Sports/Kids Footlocker stunting, but they have a pair of inspirations in a size 8 at my local champs sports for retail. Meanwhile at Kids Footlocker, FSR of GS details for 99 and fsr of gs showtimes for 79.

Woke up late , and still had my size so I took that as a sign and copped!

Heads up to anyone in ATX/Round Rock, TX- just returned my Kobe 9 Easters size 12 to the outlet store. After some months, never been worn and just decided they were not for me. Eyeing some Hyperdunks when they drop as I was going use the Kobes for rec league, but just more of a fan of the 2014 HD's. Easter's should be available soon (if not already) and I think they have 30% off anything on the wall this weekend, which is where they will be placed I'm sure. Definitely a good deal for anyone in the area.

Every time I buy a 9 (3 now) I think about how I should have bought more 8s

Beethoven Lace Swap

 

[wrestlerj125]

It seems like anyone who does a lace swap anymore on any shoes does it with those exact laces. ^

I ODd on 8s...something like 34 pair including IDs. I've thinned it out since though. I enjoy the 9s for what they are in each form.

Damn bro... If your 34 is true, then that's like 75% of my sneaker collection.

You might have to whip out that collection pic right on his forehead.

Flyknit is the most overrated material in the world.

Flyknit is the most overrated material in the world.

I was just making an elite id and thought this to myself when I couldn't find a combination that I liked for fly knit.

The flyknit is quite impressive to me, I could care less if it's popular or not

The flyknit is quite impressive to me, I could care less if it's popular or not

Same bro, I just love how it looks. I personally don't care about how it performs, because I'm only wearing my kicks casually

 

[skep]

So far my only pair is the moonwalkers but I just ordered the roshe fk and been looking for other pairs at outlets with no luck. Just a great looking and sturdy material

I have the Moonwalkers, 9 Elite Perspectives, Free 4.0 Flyknits, Flyknit Racers, and I absolutely love Flyknit, even though the Kobes have the fuse backing. Talk about it being overrated, I couldn't care less

Well I not only like how they look but I also ball in them and I like it. I have no scientific proof that it is any better than other materials but for me personally it feels really good on my feet on the court. The breathability is amazing but the endurance is lower. Give and take.

Why is it impressive to you

I wouldn't say that flyknit is, but the lows have been. They haven't done enough with it. The highs are far superior. With the Kobe's it's basically an appearance function and not performance anyway.

These and the EXT's

To be fair, if they would have released flyknit lows in the same colorways as all the highs I'm sure highs would still be in stores.
