Just opened the box to my wtk's and noticed the colors from the flyknit is bleeding to the white parts of the shoe. How does that happen?

Moisture and dye spill.

[Geats]

X his run narrower.

10's run narrower and don't really have any dead space in the toe box. ​

 

[Hahahaha]

So did you guys get the same size or did you go up a half for the X?

Thanks

I went with the same size.

Plus after a couple wears my Xs were less snug 

 

[Hahahaha]

Thank you. Couldn't get a single response in the Xs thread.

I looked back through old posts, but didn't find any conclusive answers - anyone ever figure out a good replacement black laces for the MPs? Really hate the stock laces, looking for something like the ones that came in the MC IDs, but obviously long enough for the highs.

Not sure what length you need but these look like good replacements. There are some wax less ones.

Appreciate the input, but don't want any accent colors as those appear to have. I'm thinking of something like this, but I can't tell if these will feel just as cheap or will have a little bit thicker, more "premium" feel (if that makes sense) than the current ones:

Also, I think for my size 9, the proper length laces appear to be 63 inches but I'll prob take them out and measure just to be sure.

Do you guys know how to fix the purple bleeding off of the Kobe 9 Beethoven? The toebox on one shoe is getting darker and purple I need help to get it off

Nah, I don't think anyone figured out anything. Gotta just wear them and live with them. I'm scared every time I open the box to see how much the staining progressed.

 

[brianng11]

Damn im sad to hear that because I just got mine and i unDSd them today and my friends kept saying why is it purple on one shoe the whole day lol

Eventually it just runs all over the toe boxes and you can't tell where the purple starts and stops.

This is why I had to move mine... Couldn't stand the bleeding....Too bad, because it really is one of the best Kobe's IMO.....

Recently flipped a double of the FTB Xs that I got for retail in order to get these. Vs and IVs are my favorite Kobe models overall, but I think I'm generally a bigger fan of the darker FTB colorways on the more recent models.
