Glad i grabbed a ds pair awhile back, they are getting hard to find.

Nice. It's easy to keep MP's (and other Elite Highs) looking VNDS with the Wolf Grey outsole (as opposed to white). There's no exposed midsole to show creasing (only the Lunarlon insert) and the Flyknit upper doesn't get creased like leather does. The only thing that will shoe wear over time if you treat them right is the shozoku on the tongue if you lace them high and maybe the stiffer part of the ankle support near the back of the circle.

I paid $450 shipped a while back. Still have mine unworn. Lol. Don't even know when I'll wear them.

You gotta rock 'em don't stock them.

I picked up a pair of MP back in November, they were the size 10 promo sample ones that were floating around on the bay, looking forward to getting some good use out of them once the snow melts around here.
I'm passing on the WTK though, I'd rather spend that on one last pair of ID Lows before they disappear.

What's the difference between the promo MP and RD MP

 

[mastralf]

The WTK looks like a "home" version of the influences to me.

 

[gtmorgan23]

Calling about a pair of 9.5 MPs on Monday that I found today. I got to snag a pair but it's got to be for 500 or less.

What's the difference between the promo MP and RD MP

Only difference I can see is just the tag on the inside that labels it as a Promo Sample. Didn't come with original box either but that's about it.

I dont know where u got your info but footlocker.com are doing raffles for these. check their website. and releases are usually slated on saturday which is  on 1/10/15.

I think they are releasing WTK lows. compare the shape of the tongue for the highs and lows.they are very different. they look too good for conversions.

look at the mid sole on the lows its the same as the hightops

WTK 9

Objectively, I think they are a cool high - but, realistically, they just are a no-wear for me. Too much white and pastel, and at $50 more than the other elites, I just don't see the justification for the price hike. Good luck to all going for them.

WTK 9 = What the Pastel

I can't speak for the KD's but I know for a fact that the WTL were $50 more than the reg price

Does anyone know why Finish Line doesn't sell Kobes?

They cater more towards running shoes.

 

[imabeast1221]

Eastbay has the sequoias and code EMEB5J3N will take 20% off

The athlete also has a say in what company he/she wants to be affiliated with

 

[youngwl31]

Plus the company also looks at what athletes they want to market

 

[ootherocoo]

I really hope I get a pair of WTK.  It would be a nice end yo my IX's collection

I'm in the same boat with u on this one. I just spent my last disposable cash on 2 pairs of IDs.
View media item 1335858Got rid about 5 pairs of elite highs and kept the inspirations (for hooping) and masterpieces along with 3 IDs and 2 GR lows.
