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

[dre day i3]

Copped in FTL afer 5 min checkout wait. NDC was playing games this morning as usual. 

I'm glad most folks were obsessed with the WTL's. Most dudes only want those WTL because they see the quick $800 come up on resell. Otherwise, it's an ugly shoe that you can't/won't even rock most of the time.

No ones paying $800 for them anymore

Seriously?

Legal schmegal, but if you follow Kobe's adoration for MJ all these low's in one way or another are a reflection/inspiration to him.

Youtube Moonwalker and you'll see how much purple is splashed in there along with the night/moon references.

Beethovens are a direct influence but there are MJ overlaps too... 

And to think when I pointed this out people flamed me.

 

[tcidda]

Completed my collection. Actually got them from London and the guys over at Crooked Tongues an hour before release.

175 flat out the door at HOH with the bday coupon. Glad they dont ask for an id for my bday as I use the bday coupon at least twice a month every month lol

Haha, yep. Just about every damn retailer released WTL. Even the NBA store. I won't be surprised if a few military bases got em.
Nike took too long with releasing these. The hype died. Resellers were still hungry for the come up, smh. Dem joints will flood ebay.
Glad I got my Thrillers. Set complete.

A few quick shots.

Nice shots. Glad I copped even with picking up the Chinas, whole different feel. And I actually like the laces.

 

[thapointguy]

A few quick shots.

Nice consolation prize

 

[eyedea]

so now we have no pics of upcoming releases....

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Damn eastbay and ftl still got FSR of these. Beethovens sold out WAY faster.

 

[bowb4me]

I must give it to Nike. They've manage to keep all KD 7 and Kobe 9 secret. No pics of upcoming colors for either.

 

[thapointguy]

Those IG guys will leak them.

Love those socks cannonoblock

Granted the first pic is from a camera phone, what's the actual vibrancy of the color? Is it just like one of these pics or a shade between them?

 

[cannonoblock]

@JackelGod  It depends on the lighting. Pictures outside make the shoe look better but they look like both of the pictures.

Niiice, good looks! I can't wait for their arrival.

Since these sitting, when I puck up my raffles, the bday coupon should be gravy. If not, vip for $15 ain't bad.

 

[gokublack]

Anyone switch the Red Elite laces yet to only black 

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

If only the red solid iD upper looked like today's release...

 

[zombiejohnny]

I only have the EM 9's do the low elites fit like the EM's?

 

[jm1ke]

No. The Em are tts and the flyknit lows fit tighter. I recommend .5 size up.( Example your true to size is 11 go 11.5)

 

[mastralf]

I was expecting this thread to blow up today. Looks like the reds weren't heavily sought after.
