Casually. I don't have any Kobe's to compare them to. Normally just Jordan's.

Casually. I don't have any Kobe's to compare them to. Normally just Jordan's.

I'm a size 9.5. I wear size 10 for Jordan 1s and 11s.  Size 9.5 in the Jordan 3,4,5,6. 

I would stay at TTS. I was thinking about going 1/2 size up but after reading people's comments about the sizing on these Kobe 9s, I sticked with TTS. 

 

[just another pair]

I would join if I were you. What area you live in? I'm in Kansas City but I found out that people in FB shoe groups in your city tend to sell for lower prices bc they need $$$ quick. I'm sure in bigger cities, you have more variety of shoes people are trying to sell or trade. 

I got lucky and found some VNDS Jordan Shadow 1s for retail a month ago through my KC FB group. lol. 

oh wow. im in the DMV. yeah i heard about these groups.. kinda like CL right?

I wouldn't recommend sizing up. in all J's (including I's) Im TTS and these were fine. And for casual wear I wouldn't want my shoes flopping around like clown kicks

Yeah but it's almost like a Chat relay. People always posting constantly. And if someone posts a shoe, you can message them privately or comment on the post.

You can,most people just want limited kicks nowadays tho.

We all know if there was no hype on the 9's a ton of people would not want these.

 

[mr nike86]

alright I may have to try that because they look great there

so you just tuck it down and then tied it right?

did you fold down the ankle sock thing too?

I folded the ankle sock as well.

What I wore today

and this is what it looks like in proportion to my body (sorry for the ****** quality)

 

[lypac]

^^^^^ Looks Good in Snow.

Even Kobe wears them casually.  I like the way he wears them.  Excited about that new Lakers colorway too.

Nike just confirm this and I can start living again after MP loss.....taking it harder than missing Toro 6s drop. Need this.

 

[mcal93]

Still debating whether i should get the kobe 9s this weekend or not. They will be for playing basketball. Just don't know yet….

 

[chiacrack]

for the life of me I tried folding it in and I couldn't get my foot in lol

maybe a bigger size would have worked for me then

They have a full size run of the kobe asg for around 288, don't know how much shipping is but it sounds like a good deal to me considering these are going for 350+

 

[Lunden]

My advice would be to try on a pair of KB 8s first. The 9s fit almost exactly the same but has a tad more length in the toe box...IMO.

Unless a store that's getting the Inspirations will let you try on a pair when they get them in...

In all Kobe's a 9.5 fit perfect! not too loose not too snug

In Js I wear a 9

In KDs, LeBrons, and Kobes in the past I have been a true 9.5

should I stick with the 9.5 or go with the 9 like I do Jordans

with shipping and possible customs its most likely better just to cop a pair in the US

 

[robv454]

They look good, it'll be nice to see how the flyknit performs on a basketball platform..

 

[cubanref]

They are out of stock if my French is correct....

Did the MP and ASG come in a 12.5? Also did anyone get their pair from that mini NDC MP restock?

 

[315plus]

Cant add any size to cart...

 

[jhawk23]

thanks for the info brother.

No problem. 

 

[goldmember]

When do Eastbay,etc... may show the Kobe 9 inspirations countdown?

 

[h2k4]

I appreciate the advice fellas. I think I'm just going to pass on the half size up.

Would these be similar to the kobe 7?
