Shout out Nike going simple with the WTK

Yes thank tou nike for making the 1 colorway that isnt supposed to be simple just that. And then thanks again for letting a team of 8 year olds design most of these horrible EMs that would look so much better simplified. Thank you so much.... SMFH

Very nice but you really need the showtimes in there. Easily the most underrated 9 imo

 

[bowb4me]

Thanks bros. Showtimes are my favorite out of the ones I don't have. Hunting them now.

Anywhere to find the red elite lows for retail?

Check nike outlets. After I returned mine there they discounted them to like 160 or something.

 

[tigo0240]

Or do a Footlocker store search, or even tweet NDC and ask if their stores have stock.

Thank you. I'll give them and NDC a shout out to see if I can find anything.

After owning the MP's, I'd gladly swap them out with MC lows...the tongue is the deal breaker for me, just the fact it's so huge (no ayo) and poke out...can't pull the look off.

I meant the original MC lows, not the Mamba Moments (which I have coming in BTW)...but the tongue being so flappy...is lame to me...

The answer is own both.

But I understand feeling like they are a bit much, I guess. However, if I had to give one up, as a collector the keeper is the MP.

The thing is I've had them for about 2 months, and have worn them 3 times..I really do keep all my shoes in rotation except these only because it's just such a task to make these "look right"...most shoes I can slip on and go on about my day.

The MPs are still the one true King of the Kobe 9s that hold the throne

I'm confused as to what people mean about wearing them the right way or not being able to pull them off. Did highs just get invented this year? Wear em how you want, to hell what anybody else thinks.

It's different when it's a hightop bulky shoe (yeezy 1, air flight pump) stuff like that, these are very sleek, the ankle collar is thin, and the tongue is all big and floppy...I've said it before and will say it again, I would've prefered a tongue exactly like the Jordan 7's on these...the huarache type of tongue.

 

[tigo0240]

Well, if you don't like the way they look on you...don't buy them. Perfectly understandable that you'd pick lows over the highs.


IDs just feel cheap IMO.
