I want the MPs and All Stars. No one in my area has the MPs :x

I cant remember who said it in here but someone was bummed about no CF on the low and it just dawned on my that they were never suppose to have CF They are suppose to have no CF to make the elite look upgraded but nike decided to release Eiltes  becuase  Lakers are not making playoffs (

) 

think of it the Regular Kobe 8 heel is TPU/plastic and the elite is upgrade to CF.

Any info on the "Court Purple" CW that's supposedly dropping April 11?

Lets talk about the Kobe 10. Will it be as dramatic a change as we see from the Kobe 8 to 9?
We just continue to innovate. It always starts with the athlete. You always start with the question of, 'What can help me to be a better basketball player?' You start from that technological standpoint and then you work from their. I have the story already framed up, I know what it is going to be. I know what the aesthetic of the shoe is going to be. The technology in the shoe is going to be absolutely crazy. It’s going to be...

 

[maddman8023]

You mention Michael Jackson. Will we see a Michael Jackson Kobe 9?
You’ll see a muse, Masterpiece, MJ style. The important thing is that is is more of an homage to all these great minds that I have pulled inspiration from. It's getting toward the end of my career and I think it's important for the kids nowadays when they look at they way I play and the attention to detail, they understand where that comes from. And the only way to do that is to pay homage to muses that I’ve had in my life.

No putting the LJ 11 insole in blows out the shape of the Kobe, makes the shoe look worse but feels great

mou5pad Definitely noticeable I swap them out on my Kobe 8s also. Didn't notice any "blowing up" of the shoe though

 

[Larry Legend]

The 9 doesn't need that kind of support being built for Kobe the LJ 11 is shaped like a pancake compared to the 9

Not a problem.

 

[Hahahaha]

Black laces or nah

View media item 847915

Were these from another pair of Kobe's or did you buy them? If you bought them, what length?

I'm still deciding if I want to use my ASG laces or go buy a black pair for these.

 

[D_eezus]

Mag Customs. WOW. These were worthy of killing an ASG.
