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

[thapointguy]

I recently place a towel under the gas/brake pedals to prevent dark marks/dirt from getting on the heel of my light colored soles as I haven't cleaned my all-weather black mat in awhile. IDK about wearing beaters then changing into something nicer, that's taking it too far.

Sad but true fact of my life. If ive got 5 or 600 plus in a pair of shoes no way im driving in them. I usually just make the wife drive to avoid it all together.

This makes no sense to me.

What kind of driving are you doing that would "damage" your shoes...?

WHEN I WAS STARTING OUT, I DIDNT DRIVE IN MY SHOES EITHER.

AFTER A WHILE, I SAID F___ THAT S___. TOO MUCH HASSLE SWITCHING SHOES AND WHATNOT.

 

[s dubl]

I just wear my shoes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not damage, dudes do that not to get their soles dirty if the cars mats are also dirty.  Some also do it to avoid wrinkles.

I've done this a few times back in the all white air force 1 days but haven't cared enough to swap shoes in years.

this is exactly what i do, too much work to clean the mats often.

changing into "driving shoes" is a bit much for me, i'm lazy ha.

 Don't wear shoes if you don't want to get anything on the soles or get any creases.

Some of y'all are ridiculous, man.

 

[jdavenp3]

Does anyone have comparison pictures between the red ID knit vs the GR knit? From what I can see there is no black with the ID and it looks stale, I'd just like to have the GR shoe minus some of the gitd stuff. It's growing on me though.

and yall thought I was crazy to bring it up, I noticed on my LeBron Xs that I would get marks on the toes when I use to drive my sts-v but I haven't noticed since switching to the charger, now the soles getting dirty from the floor mats I can fully believe bcuz I don't clean my floormats often

I guess that makes you better than everyone else? My car is super clean the problem is using the clutch over and over causes mad creases on 1 toebox..... Looks horrible

Grand majority of people drive automatics and so many have never even driven manuals, they'll never be able to sympathize.

I haven't driven a manual since the early 2000s and couldn't wrap my head around driving one as a daily driver.  It'd be old after a week of stop and go traffic.

 

[strange1]

I would guess everyone feels some type of way at any given time..... You feelin like a bodyguard?

Ive never owned an automatic and im almost 30 but I grew up in a "racing" home so Im sure you might be right

 

[bowb4me]

Depends on the shoe. The first Mike Vick sneaker creased at the toe like no other. That shoe and maybe another 1 or 2 I wouldn't wear while driving. Everything else is good.

True i drive in most of my kobe 8s. But almost all Js crease like a B. Even though i rarely wear Js now I never dropped the habit

 

[jm1ke]

After I get fully dressed I Saran Wrap my entire outfit. Gotto look fresh. Ya dig!

Jp

 

[s dubl]

I also drive a manual... Manual>automatic. Not even close.

I try to keep my shoes clean/fresh, but I don't go too far out of my way to do so. They're just shoes.

It is, till you see this in front of you.

I feel that.....I haven't driven a manual since 09 and honestly its depressing

the problem is lazy people have destroyed the manual and fewer and fewer American models are being made with manuals, they dropped the manual on the cts-v the only reason why I ever wanted one, that was the last American manual sedan, if my shoes creased crazily from driving than i'm not gonna front that would be the only time i'd have driving shoes and destination shoes as if I rode a bike or something

That's when you turn around and go home I need to read NikeTalk's rules. dat!

 

[tigo0240]

Admittedly, some shoes just don't work well while driving a stick. My size 15 Lebron IXs don't work out too well

The Kobe 8s and 9s actually do just fine. But nothing like a nice driving moccasin.
