Stress you and others may be putting on yourselves by already nick-naming them Bruce Lee.

Yup, can't say I'm not surprised though

 

[la kb24]

nothing new with prices

 

[crazy ebw]

That pricing has been known fellas.

 

[ronaldcinho]

If the mids come out close to the all black sample, I think favor them over the lows. Hi's are a must!! Honestly, might pass on both mids and lows and only cop Hi's.

Those were wear test samples, so it's more than likely that they won't come out like that. But I agree with you, I hope they do a black on black (or some variation) color way on the 9s, especially the elite lows.

So why are the stitching for the Achilles on both shoes? Lol.he only hurt one . I think it would have been cool to see stitching on his hurt Achilles shoe and maybe his logo or a Sig on the other. Guess it's nice to be symmetrical. Just a stupid suggestion

 

[Kobekobe]

Dynamic flywire

This 

  

Pretty much the only thing that I wasn't happy with in the 8, (aside from the short lifespan of lunar) was how midfoot/forefoot lockdown suffered as the EM broke in.  You just had to keep lacing tighter and tighter.

Kobe

Although Bryant's last five signature shoes have been low-tops, the Kobe Elite 9 unveiled by the Los Angeles Lakers guard is a higher-cut shoe that might be confused with a pair that a wrestler wears. The feature that sticks out the most might be in the back, where nine short red lines are spread out along the heel to mimic the sutures from his recent Achilles surgery.

"It's a symbol of the story we're trying to tell," Bryant told ESPN.com. "It's a constant reminder of where I came from. From that night after I hurt myself and I expressed my anger in my Facebook rant to the state I'm in now. I wanted something I could draw inspiration from. Everyone doubts I can't come back and do it again and here I am."

why would they have a different meaning on the lows?

 

[robin thicke]

LOOK AT THE PICS OF LINES ON THE HIGH

THEN LOOK AT THE LOW.

I SWEAR KOBE STANS ARE WORSE THAN KANYE STANS

BLIND LOVE.

 

[water]

Crusaders, venomenons, 9 lows all look like the same ballpark. They'll do different colorways and you all will be ******** your pants because you want a color named after a plant or something weird.

The lows look like even other Kobe shoe.

The highs are 

 

[rl_wayne]

And the inspiration would be any different from high to low because...?
