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

[toairisnothuman23]

I love the 9's high/lows a great shoe. I'm just waiting on a pair to take my breathe away. That's when I'll cop a pair. One question though, why isn't there carbon fiber on the lows?

 

[ultimatecam]

I wonder how light they're

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I wonder what the Flyknit Low's will be like... if they're waiting all the way till September to release them, I can't imagine them looking the same. They'll def feel like an afterthought.

 

[navster]

There will be so many sick color ways of the 9 even if many don't like the yellow ones. The kobe 8 had who knows how many color ways, and was a bread and butter shoe for nike basketball. I don't expect anything less of the 9. Now if only there is a blitz blue and purple fade.. 

 

[eightfivefresh]

Those lows are fire! I guarantee 80% of the thread will have lows. You will turn over leaf once you see them or try them on.

Yea, you're right bro... but I wanna let these guys cook. I think the fact that alot of cats are enamored with the Elites is a good thing for all of set on Lows...

Less Hype leads to Easier Pickups. Hopefully.

Count me in for a pair of the yellow/black lows. Love black/yellow and yellow/black as a color combo on any Kobe.

[la kb24]

You ain't the only one...

Glad I still have about 8 pairs on ice.

im about to retire my del sold, all beat up and ripped that just leaves me to my lakers away

 

[lypac]

They don't look as sleek as the 8's but they are nice. I wish they would have left how the flaps on top of 8's where the last two lace holes go into.

Donate for sure. We all ***** about how hard it is to get kicks on release day and some people don't even have one pair.

got it. salvation army's getting some kobes

 

[navster]

I try to use the places that send the shoes overseas and give them away free. Doesn't salvation army sell them? It's a thrift store right? Not sure but never dealt with them before. I like sole4souls

I want to say because the highs are considered 'Elites' it's an added feature, justifying the price increase/decrease

 

[eightfivefresh]

Something tells me that MAYBE the Marks on the Heel will be coinciding with the "Bruce Lee" Marks on the Forefoot of the KOBE V's...

We may get a Shuzoku on all the others... you guys know how they switched it up last year w/ the 8's. The Mambacurial 8's didn't have anything on the Back!

I could be wrong, but I think these 9 Stitch Marks on the Back may only be for this "Bruce Lee" style Release Only... and that's why these are the FIRST to Drop.

Just my Theory, though. 

 

 

[Kobekobe]

every shoe will have those marks because of his achilles injury.

 

[Kobekobe]

all the people that hate the lows shouldn't be allowed to buy any in the future

don't need you and your hypebeast ways when the hype builds up in may/june.

[tatmantall]

I'm gonna go with 90% of the guys saying how they dislike the lows will jump ship again, just like they did with the highs. I remember when there were only a handful of us who had any interest in the elites... That's certainly changed.

 

[eightfivefresh]

every shoe will have those marks because of his achilles injury.

Yea, I've understood that reasoning for awhile... BUT I still think there's a big chance we see a Shuzoku or something else on the heel of the Lows this year.

We haven't seen any other pairs besides these, so it's still up in the air.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

People were gonna warm to the lows, it was a given. Especially since the first reactions were based on some ****** pictures as usual.

Kobe mentioned it in an interview. He wants all the 9s to have the Achilles stitches.

I'm sorry, but is it not more "hypebeast-y" to automatically love something because of the athlete it's associated with?

I'm a big Kobe fan and have been buying his signature Nikes since the 4s, but I can't get down with any of the 9s I've seen thus far.

 

[headdetective]

Them lows suck.
