I've hooped in the Kobe IX EMs View media item 2442427countless times but this is my first time hoopin in the Elites. The traction is superb as usual but the shoes feel much stiffer compared to the EMs. I also felt like I was getting some heel lift, although I didn't try to lace them up tighter since they already felt tight compared to the EMs. Conclusion: The EMs feel much better for ball for my feet and my type of play. Nevertheless, I think they look dope. Here's a pic in front of Chase Center, the future home of the Warriors. View media item 2442425

I rank them Elite High > Em > Elite Low.

youre not alone.
supposedly flyknits are lighter and more flexible than EM's.
but this is not the case with the Kobe line. the flyknit's on the kobe line are glued/fused or have TPU wires (usually used in fishing lol).
this is why i find it funny when some folks here say they like the elite version better because they're lighter lol.

These are one of my favorite model sneakers ever, with the Masterpiece being my fave cw. If anyone's interested in the Red Mamba's for $130, peep the link, still decent sizes available:

I think half size up and lacing them tight would have been better.

Ordered PG1 Shinings and Foamposites from there, 100% legit. Looking at their assortment I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be legit?

Copped All Star 1's and Take Flight 8's. There's a store front in Poland. I called for info on 1 of my orders, and someone picked up, place sounded like a busy Footlocker in the background.

I rate both shoes very highly. The 9's will have the edge in traction. The reviews have been mixed on the traction with 11's. Although, the consensus is that the solid outsoles perform the best. Since your looking at the oreo's, you should be goog. I own alot of 11's and love to hoop in them. They are extremely comfortable out of the box and are even better after breaking in. I havent honestly had any traction problems.
Heres My breakdown:
1) Traction: 9's
2) Fit: Even <-- Each Kobe 11 colorway tends to have a different fit to them. The oreos are pretty much tts where as some of the colors (Achilles, ASG, Eulogy) tend to run long.
3) Transition: 11's
4) Lockdown: 9's
5) Cushion: Slight edge to 11's

And the thread lives on!!!!!Any advice to get rid of the yellowing on these Beethoven’s?
Aight, that being said, try some heavy duty scouring pads.
Same I use for hardened food particles during dish washing.
