@3dgarfly23  didnt realize that was your pic on IG E. Glad you caught a pair of 9s 

 

[web99992002]

just got my Masterpiece. kinda hard to put on. Anyone know how to clean these when they get dirty? Will Jason Markk work?

 

[iks mod]

Hoping to give them a run tomorrow.  Been a busy week so I haven't had much time to hoop.  Looking forward to it

looking for some input from homies that have seriously balled in these kicks. I'm talking competitive 5 on 5. I have that dead space above the toe that nightwing was talking about. Width and length fit perfect, just like all my other basketball shoes, but the dead space creates a lack of containment and I felt a blister forming on the corner of my toe. I never had this issue with my Kobe 8 in the same size. I was even able to try a ".5 size down" Kobe 9 because Niketown NYC wouldn't let me try on shoes, so I bought a size down and my normal size. The smaller size, length wise was a no go. Toes are right against the front, so a jammed toe nail is a guarantee. Plus width wise, there were snug so I am positive that 9.5 is my size. Looking at the way the shoe is designed, I can see why there is dead space: because of the hyperfuse base in the toe box. It's so stiff and creates a gap. Has anyone else noticed this? Input? FYI, I was using Nike HyperElite socks not thin socks. Double socking is not an option either. Unless I double sock with 2 nike hyperelite socks. Which I would probably never do.

**** man! Might have to go back to Kobe 8s. For what it's worth, the Kobe 9 traction is on par with the Kobe 8, in my opinion.

That's tough man... what about a Lebron XI insert?  From others it sounds that like takes care of some of the dead space.

This may be a biased question in this thread but would it be a good trade, my DB3s for MP's?

NO, what size DB3? I'll cop the MP and trade you.

we cant answer that for u.....ask yourself which one u like more and get that one

Yeah good thing I have two Lebron XI that I don't use. Just a shame that I can't just use the lunarlon insert. I prefer it.

And yes, the carbon fiber clear coat scuffs off very easily. I know someone back a few pages said theirs got messed up after one gym session. Mine got scuffed too. No biggie though. Didn't buy for casual wear.

Most the time I wear a fresh black or grey t-shirt. Some khaki shorts and fresh kicks. I like the kicks to be the focal point. Why else am I dropping $250+/- on them.....

im the same way......i got a closet full of black/grey tees like a cartoon character..

DB3's hold more value

No!

 

[mamba33824]

Am I the only person looking forward to the inspiration

 

[ootherocoo]

Am I the only person looking forward to the inspiration

I am.  I'm trying to get all three releases in March.  

 

[cradiulf]

Am I the only person looking forward to the inspiration

I'm excited for them as well. Loving the black soles on them!

 

[airgolden2123]

I know awhile back some dude dropped some intel on upcoming colors like the "Quests" and "Unleashed," and I know there are rumored to be the Michael Jackson and Jordan 3 colors but do we have any update or more concrete details on what's to come after the March releases? I know it sounds like I'm answering my own question

 

[Sixharding!]

DB3's hold more value

Nah they don't. That's an even trade on a shoe for shoe basis but it all boils down to opinion. Those 3's are WACK tho, lol!
