I think that banner has been there for quite a while. It just links you to the front page of the store.

they got mps they where in the catalog, got all the preludes too...

 

[kal-el-8]

Can someone post the link or something I cant see anything

 

[mwalker]

 
I only saw the Yeezys on there.. no preludes.

 

[7strings]

man i hope they stock, or REstock those kc masterpieces

i would be happy if i got a pair either way, but my fear is that I drop a bunch on a pair, and then they're straight hi-lighter colored flyknit all over 

 i like the really dark pairs where there is more contrast with the black. 

 

[mojay]

did they come out earlier? or i guess they are not getting them...

 

[joshp]

well I only tried and failed to get the 6's but I'm fairly sure they got all 8.

smoking crack?

The traction on these is superb for those asking.



The actual sole has less cushion than I expected, but they are low to the ground and they practically stick to the floor. As long as you get the correct size, the lockdown is great and you will have perfect traction. Oh and it's nice to have some ankle support from a Kobe.

But you like the m10s better?

 

[just another pair]

but i heard its more of a sock than ankle support?

 

[jflick]

Is KB24 dropping on Sat or something?

 

[sneakersnake12]

 

[CosmicGhostRider]

but i heard its more of a sock than ankle support?

Correct. It just feels like a really thick/stiff sock.

 

[just another pair]

stiff eh?? thats not good.

But you like the m10s better?

Yeah, I really love the Melo. It performs great.

The Kobe's are obviously higher, but the support isn't as good as the Melo's. It's a somewhat soft material on the Kobe's, yet somehow it's still a little bit stiff....not a bad thing though as it does feel like your ankle won't roll.

 

[spacekid9]

got my MP yesterdays..

not impressed over the flyknit. I guess to support the needs of basketball, they made the weave very tight and thick (er than a running flyknit) and because of that, the flyknit become almost plastic-y and flexes as a single piece which defeats the purpose of flyknit or em, where the material molds/flexes around your feet. don't get me wrong, it's still light and have more flex/give than the hyperfuse material.

the high..most of it appears to be a stretchy neoprene fabric. for those who wear those ankle sleeves when you ball..it'll be kind of like the same feeling but with a padded tongue in the front. .

sizeing... not going to say TTS since everyone is different but the width is the same size as the 8's but the length is a bit longer than the 8.

like everyone said, the insole is thicker and because of that, it's a little denser. not in a bad way..just as plush. i can see the ridges giving people rubbing problems if they play for a long session. the ridges really dig into your feet. you'll probably need to take a fabric liner from an old shoe.

for me.. i perfer the 8 with the EM. the 9's are perfect if you want something a bit more thicker/supportive than the 8 but don't want to go all way to a hpyerfuse material...something in between.
