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

[s dubl]

Socks.....

 

[vrai1]

the sole looks encouraging...

 

[s dubl]

If the lows will be the same as the high, just low cut... Dudes are going to spend A LOT of $$ on these....

 

[notoriousmj23]

Kobe 9 (From what I saw):
Looks similar to a Boxing/Wrestling Boot
Flyknit; Think How The Free Flyknit Is Pretty Much A Low Cut Sock (No Show Sock), Kobe 9 Is Like A High Sock... Fitted Just Like A Sock, Shaped Like A Sock
Above the translucent sole is carbon fiber that goes up mid-foot
Take this part lightly as humanly possible.. Similar.. Related.. Distant/Close Cousin To The Jordan XX8

I could MAYBE.. MAYBE.. See this shoe being played in.. With NO SOCKS
again.. Like a Free Flyknit.. Very fitted

At first glance I was like :x

More I look at em, I'm felling like

Def not something everyone will like....

 

[Black Lotus]

i need images XD

 

[notoriousmj23]

With this shoe... It will be a Love/Hate Shoe
Like "I LOVE THE F*** OUTTA THIS SHOE
or "I HATE THIS F***ing SHOE
No in between
Shouldn't really be a on the fence type of deal
Either you'll love it dearly or write it off completely

 

[t11time]

Glad youre aboard s dubl

 

[notoriousmj23]

This is a very DIFFERENT SHOE
To where the 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were very similar and related..
This is left field
Maybe we have another "ZK3 of this generation" or "Foamposite of this generation"
In terms of a basketball shoe at least
Because it's pretty much a High Top Free Flyknit

Don't know if you guys have seen or heard about the Roshe Run Basketball Shoe
They did that almost but with the Free FlyKnit.. And Eric Avar put his godly mind to it lol

 

[iks mod]

Appreciate the info... just dying to see one shot of these

 

[notoriousmj23]

I can't speak for T or Shaun but those wear test samples don't look like the final product that much.. A tad.. Maybe

 

[Kobekobe]

I can't read this thread anymore. Makes me frustrated

Agreed. But the shoes you grow to love are the best kinds of shoes.

Not very close at all....

T11Time or NotoriousMJ23, can the Kobe 9 fold down like the xx8 ?

 

[chiacrack]

the suspense is killing me come on Nike leak some damn images already

 

[notoriousmj23]

I think it's foldable
Maybe not to the extent of the XX8
Think Converse Chuck Taylor's when people fold them and put the laces around
Maybe that's possible
It looks like it is
There is a low tho too

 

[mr fox24]

Great info guys! ! But its only for the mid right? ? Are we still getting EM lows??

 

[kb24]

any info about the cushioning set up?If they're a 200 shoes, hope not just the lunarlon for us
 

 

[tmcgrady1]

Damn. I really, really appreciate this info guys, but can't one of you make a BS account or have a friend post the pic for you! Hahaha.

 

[Kobekobe]

Even at $150 we shouldn't have lunar. Give me zoom!

 

[speedster31]

come on nike show us the pics... smh..

 

[ncvikingx97]

Lunar is great, it just needs something a little firmer to back it up in my opinion. The lunarlon on the Kobe 8s doesn't work for me, but it works well on the hyperdunks, because it is backed up by a phylon carrier.

 

[t11time]

If any blog posts a teaser pic then ill post the actual shoe
