Naw fam, that wasn't directed at you...

I corrected it to make it clearer.

Gotcha man. All good. I was just thinking this guy must really hate the 8 sulfur.

RSVP?!? "Where dey do dat at?!?"

I thought Nike was donezo with that whole process?

I think they'll slowly move away from that process, I rather just have an instore raffle on RD and have it being monitored by the higher-ups

This dance would be perfect for the MJackson inspired 9.

Shamone, Shamone!

In so cal there a lot more FTL than normal but it's still not all FTL so these are not a complete GR, seems almost similar like the past elites but maybe a little more in so cal

Balled in the Maestros last night. These perform amazingly. If you balled in the 8s, I would definitely try these out as well. 

 

 

[erocz3]

Yes inspirations mybad

So it's FCFS for the Inspiration and Ligers but raffles for the AP's?

Second pair of Maestro's came in from an early pre-order from a local sneaker boutique. So lucky to have gotten both in my size, with NOLA box and card. 2/2, 1 NDC and 1 Pre-order. Couldn't be happier.

Pair with GITD laces: casual use.

Original laces: hooping.

You got both off NDC? How you do this?

 

[lypac]

Got one pair off NDC on release day, and another pair from a pre-order from a local sneaker boutique.

If you want a pair, you're gonna have to swim for it

That would make for a good reality game show. Swim for Kobes! Hosted by Jeff Probst.

I'm hoping to win an RSVP in NYC for the Inspirations....

If not, it's NDC or bust for me.

2003 white AJ 8 was my previous tallest basketball shoe, the K9 has em beat lol

 

[scroller52]

[ddash]

I always thought the jordan v was super tall as well.

There are two Champs Sports in northern va getting the inspirations.

Really liking the Foot Locker launch locator.  I compiled the addresses for LA and OC here http://www.888sneakerstreet.com/kobe-9-elite-inspiration-foot-locker-release-locations-in-la-and-oc/  and it looks like most Foot Lockers will be getting these around me also.

I'll stop by the HOH today and report back on how they are handling it.  They told me at South Coast Plaza that they were raffling them last week, but sometimes things change.

The XX8 is about the exact same height as the Kobe 9s

[goat4521]

Which ones?

The launch locator says Tyson's and Pentagon City. How are the lines normally? Do you know?

the 2003 white aj8 are the toughest shoes i have ever owned, besides my teva trekkers of course. for basketball shoes those retros were true tanks.

I got lucky and had 11.5 and a 12. After trying on the 11.5 the length was fine. When I got my 12 and tried them on I notice they felt about the same length wise maybe slightly wider, but the biggest difference I notice was how the upper part felt. It was looser than the 11.5 and I liked that, so I kept the 12.

hahahaha dude that made me laugh and after a long day I needed that thank you
