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

[goldmember]

1 hole down works best for me for ball, but 2 holes down looks better when casual.  When they are 1 hole down, I really felt like the high top part was really moving with me instead of my leg moving independently from the ankle part.  Some will say 1 hole down screws up the shuzoku paint, but I have to put it that high on court.

Yea tried 1 hole down on my last game and it felt ok. I can definitely feel the top bit of the shoe. I don't wear ankle braces or anything but that's what i thought it felt like when i was playing.

I want to try to go .5 down on these but it's impossible to just go on stores and try them on. Damn limited releases. I have the inspirations btw.

the traction tho... i was surprised how good it was.. feel like i could do anything on the court

Finally got my MP's (meetup in the Chi for $400) and Perspective (DSG) this past Tuesday. Amazing colorways!! Perspectives are def underrated.

Yes, the perspectives grew on me as well. They were going to be the only ones I pass on, but they're becoming my favorites.. They definitely needed that volt lace swap to break up the dominant neon turquoise though.

So is the general consensus still details > inspiration?

I dont agree with it but from what ive been seeing that would be safe to say.... at least on NT cant speak for everyone though.

 

[t11time]

So, the Details have a different fit?

Can you tell us how those other yellow black ones behind the Details feel too?

Details feel width wise smaller than previous releases. I despise the EMs. Don't like the feel at all

Details > all

Man I'm almost ready to take a major L on the MPs and pay something I don't want to, but I can't even find a pair in my size.

I hear you on that trying to find a 13 was no joke,I just gave in and paid way more then I thought I ever would

yeah only one 13 on eBay..........

 

[s dubl]

That dreaded 13

I'm almost thinking of trying to getting something going with my pair for a pair of preludes.... I'm not sure I can do it, or want to do it for what some of these dudes are asking for preludes.

 

[ultimatecam]

I definitely won't get details unless I try them on then. I can't believe the lows so many dislike. I actually like the heel with the stitches. But I'm sure we will all despise the em lows once we see flynit lows

 

[mister friendly]

I saw the Bruce Lee Lows are they are really nice in person!

Conversations like these should really be had after the shoe drops.

I'm gonna be able to cop my pair regardless but I don't wanna have to jump through hoops for it.

Let's chill with telegraphing of hype just because there's nothing to talk about.

 

[vinotwofour]

they're still the same shoe. its just a slightly thicker sole with more rubber for outdoor play.

The only prelude i would trade my MP's for are P1's or P5's which i already own. The MP just compliments my prelude pack.

 

[justdome]

BALLERS out there..


Do you guys lace em all the way up? 1 or 2 holes down?

Played in it for the first time yesterday and it felt like it restricts my movement if i lace them all the way up..

2 holes down felt the best, kinda like a low but the tongue is too puffy and it just pop out..

definitely needs more time to get used to this...

1 hole down feels the best!! i tied them really well and felt good support right on my ankles. i am loving this shoe. i might go x2 on the Details because they are my favorite pair.

 

[s dubl]

XDRs up on kicks crew for anyone interested.

 

[vinotwofour]

put it in your sig bro, your posts gonna get deleted.

Anybody relieved there was a 1 week gap between the perspectives and the details?  Nike giving us a beak so we can double up 

 

[goat4521]

I will be in LA in 2 weeks. Where is the most logical spot to grab a pair of Kobe's and some Kobe gear.
