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

[dark steel]

^But Nick Young gets the approval from Nike/Kobe to wear and debut the newest Kobe merchandise. He idolizes KB, is a Laker teamate and is a young and upcoming player. Win/win.

Just like Jordan is trying/tried to make Russell Westbrook the face of JB, Kobe realizes the end is coming and someone else has to carry the torch of his line.

I'm just ready to see the 9s in action...

 

[robin thicke]

SMH OH DEAR GOD RUSSY IS THE NEW FACE OF JB?

I PRAY FOR ALL OUR SOULS.

I WOULDNT HAVE A PROBLEM W NICK YOUNG IF HE WASNT BISH MADE AND CALLED HIMSELF SWAGGY P.

It was a joke did you not read the post before that...  In the other post I pretty much said the same thing.

In even bigger news, considering Bryant himself hasn’t even donned them yet on the court, Young will become the first player ever to wear Bryant’s newest signature shoe -- the boxing bootlike Kobe IX -- in an NBA game when the Lakers play the Miami Heat on Thursday, according to a league source.

Nick is a better player and a much more likeable person.

Kobe gave his is approval, and with all this baller/hipster sneaker talk, his approval means more than anyone else's. And in 2 weeks, no one will care. fact

Kobe is sitting on the bench for the rest of the year and needs someone to wear his shoes. It's either him or pau, fact

 

[oookillem]

Nick Young is an awful player. Anyone who knows the game knows that.

That being said dude would do well in a 1 on 1 all nba tourny.

Swaggy P Island.

I guess having Nick debut the 9s will work.

Kobe didn't like to pass either 

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

They look good casually in them pics back there, but then again kobe is 6' 6" and i'm not 

 

[domosirchazzo]

Consider your options...

Either have Nick Young, a decent player and team mate of Kobe debut the shoe.

Or wait until the shoe hits the market in a few weeks and allow any end of the bench scrub debut one of the most anticipated kicks of the year.

I for one don't care. I've never made a purchase based on how Kobe looked in them.

If I wasn't already a little bit interested in the shoe, on court footage wouldn't help.

 

[Black Lotus]

Kobe gave his approval.

exactly... i do hope Nick young wearing them 1st turns some people away, so that those who actually like the shoe can cop with ease

Good thing I am 6'6"! I'll let you know how cool I look! Just kidding... I'll proly look like a cornball but if they play good I'm down to be goofy.

 

[mr fox24]

Smh at Nick debuting 9, doesn't change my mind (I love the 9s) but I rather wait till Kobe comes back on court if its ASG or after.

 

[tay1]

Swaggy P >>>>>>>

These didn't look that bad in that pic with Nicki, but I'm still not sure about casual wear.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Someone had to debut them before RD

 

[tinthewinner]

I'm just waiting on the lows in a purple and gold color way..... I'm sick of Nike hiking up the prices... We need to do something about this... $225 for shoes... Basketball* shoes... Cmon Nike sell em for $150 and you'll still make a profit.... Hope the lows aren't rape prices... Side note zoom Kobe 1 or toro 4s? Anyone trying to sell either in a 8 or 8.5?

NAH.

I've been able to watch both extensively:

Swaggy P. is "JR Smith" in a slightly bigger body and just a little more goofy than dumb. He's doing better this year, I think, bc D'Antoni's System & Kobe has gotten to him and he has no SG competition to put up buckets against in LA. Also, a Ball-Movement Nightmare... but like last night... he has his games every once in awhile.

Nate Robinson is All Energy, Alot More MATURE, a Scoring Machine when he gets Quality Minutes and has actually WON GAMES and put Team's on his Back. Ala 2012-13 Chicago Bulls.

There's No Comparison. 

 

[eightfivefresh]

Btw, nothing against Swaggart, just stating Facts.

I don't have a problem w/ him debuting the Sneaks though... he's on Kobe's team and is the Best Option they have to debut them at the moment. It doesn't take away from the shoes, IMO.

Not Seeing atleast a TEASER Glimpse of the 9 LOW's at this point...  THAT'S What I Have a Problem With.

Yall need to stop hatin on my man swaggy pizza lol!!!! but I need to see pics of these ASG's if they have a 50$ upkeep like the brons I might just have to pass tho
