Why won't NIKE release this?  If they laces had some contrasting stitching, these would be really nice, along with a subtle outline of the swoosh.

Are the sequoias that red high pair that leaked?

Yep. They're dubbed "Strategy" i believe. 

I can't emphasize enough how bad i need to get my hands on a pair. 

 

[DadNboujee]

Braves looking nice on foot.

I'm starting to believe that the damn flyknit is just for marketing purposes only..

What's the actual purpose of them in Kobe 9? I have balled in Kobe 1-9 too.

They can't even take advantage of the CW aspect of the flyknit. SMH

Its a bastardized version of flyknit for sure. I thought it was backed by fuse but in a recent video nightwing mentioned it was thick glue instead basically. So the flyknit is nothing like on a trainer or racer or lunar.

But I'm not sure it could be. No support whatsoever. No durability. No protection.

 

[kobeoverbron]

It depends on your foot. It depends who you ask.



I wear a 14 in all the kobe 9s, and I've found that the Elite Highs and Lows are about the same except in volume. The toebox on the High feels taller and roomier. Elite lows feel snug throughout the shoe, especially past the midfoot.

If I had to choose, I would go 0.5 up to be safe and just tie the laces tight. There will be some heel slippage regardless of the size. Better to feel comfortable immediately than to hope it breaks in and go through pain to get there.

If you can replace/modify the insole, then you can go TTS.

thanks fam. I'll probably use my 8 insert and go true.

Got inspired by the University Red's while carving pumpkins yesterday:

 

[someone12345]

Kickz.com still has a grip of Kobe IX Elite Hero's: 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5. They also have some other 9's, EXT's, and a Kobe VII left.

 

[promotagged]

Hope everyone is good.  This is the Updated Inline PE...white bottom, brighter swoosh, speckled midsole....Not sure why this pair was created, but it looks better than the original Inline PE

Kobe wore the original pair for media day and the remix/update for the pre-season
