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

[sneakercrazy616]

Yep

When people say they cant get over the height of the shoe....what they really mean to say is " I'm going to wait and see how popular the shoe is before I buy"

Real talk, I really hope all the people that said they were ugly hold out! I need an easy cop for a change!

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

i'm just waiting to try them on before i make my final decision .. i think they're crazy, but if i'm gonna spend $200 plus they would have to work for me casually too  

 

[ronaldcinho]

 
MP's are still #1 for me.  Is the tongue chroma?

looks iridescent/patent, similar to what's on the db v. gonna see these in person next thursday, will try to post unfiltered pics of shoe with packaging as well.

 

[kobeoverbron]

these will be fine casually. People need to stop popping their tongues out on every shoe/fit for a more decent look. I will try to pop the tongue but I'll be more comfortable with 510's with the laces all the way up (when I'm not balling in them).

Yea the launch locators will be the indicator of how limited these are. Hopefully no stupid raffles, but that's wishful thinking at this juncture.

Why no raffles? Who wants to camp or go early in the morning? If less people sign up than there are shoes you get them anyway on lock.

I like the raffle system way better than rsvp or fcfs.

why does it look like it's falling apart from a lateral move/cut.

 

[invalid flow]

wanna c some 1 under 6" wearin these laced up max for ball

only concern = if they r 2 high, they would feel weird/uncomfortable and so therefore cant wear them for ball

im only interested in gettin these to play in

these for casual wear ............... not for me

 

[stonyboys]

I don't understand, what are you guys speculating about being limited or not? A specific colorway? Or just the kobe 9s in general? If it's the 9s in general, why do you guys think that a flagship shoe from one of the biggest players is going to be limited?

You make the masterpiece limited so that I generates hype for the new shoe. There will be other cw's droppin that wont be. Microsoft and Sony are the champs at this lol.

 

[kobeoverbron]

the quantity issue has been discussed multiple times before.

Them Kobe 9s leaning hard wtf!

The support in this shoe has always had me worried and that picture has me worrying

That's nothing. If u watch pictures of NBA players making cuts all shoes do this. You'd be surprised how some shoes look so bent out of shape and dues are not braking there ankles in half. The carbon bits are doing gs it's job.

 

[rfx45]

NBA players does that to almost any shoes out there when they do hard cuts or quick stops.

I can't believe how people have never noticed this

. Kevin Durant has some of the nastiest ones. 

 

[isniker]

Get da Manny Pacquaio

MP should play in these instead of bred XIs...it looks & feel more like his sig

 

[kobeoverbron]

nah, the reason why the "deformation" on Iggy's foot has us worrying is because he's not doing any cutting motion in that pic. He's sort of just standing.
so....

 

[noblekane]

doesnt look like he "just standing" to me. his right foot is off the ground

sheesh id hate for you guys to see how the retro xii on nba courts looked like 10 years ago...

you guys would probably have heart attacks lol

 

[noblekane]

3m > gitd

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Wait the "Masterpiece" drops in February & March?

 

[domosirchazzo]

^Nope just next week.

 

[dwr73244]

Those MP's are just growing on me every day over the ASG.  Gonna try for those and the blue/volts then wait for the lows, I think....lol

 

[jking0821]

still can't get with that giant tongue hanging out. Def don't look horrendous casually....just bad
where are the flyknit lows

 

[tatmantall]

ASG, took a minute but have definitely grown on me, looking for those and inspiration now
