QUICK ON COURT REVIEW
[COLOR=#red]Fit: 9.5/10[/COLOR]
Almost perfect. A little bit of heel slip, but I think it will go away when they're broken in. Either way, nothing too serious
[COLOR=#red]Comfort: 10/10[/COLOR]
Think about how awesome the 8's are, and think beyond. These are crazy comfortable. As I've mentioned in previous posts, the tongue is a tad thicker (not paper thin like the 8's), and it makes a world of a difference. The tongue reminds me of the kobe 6.
The insoles in these are thicker than the Kobe 8 and it feels like you're walking on a cloud.
[COLOR=#red]Traction: 15/10[/COLOR]
Srs..
They treated the gym floor at my local YMCA with some terrible liquid, and now everyone complains about traction. It's now garbage. I was slipping like crazy in the 8's just last week, as well as my 6's, 5's and 4's.. It flat out sucks. I wasn't expecting it to be any better with kobe's foot print on the sole, but TRUST ME, the traction is insane. The same floor that I was sliding on last week, was squeaking with these shoes. 15/10 is the appropriate rating.
Sizing: TRUE TO SIZE. Whatever you got in the Kobe 8, you get in the Kobe 9. Do not go half a size down like the elite models.
Overall.. this shoe is my favourite. As you all know, I ball in ALL of my shoes (jordan's, kobe's, etc) on the court.. I may break out a shoe here and there for the outdoors, but that's not me. Anyways.. I had the 6 at a slight advantage over the 8's (just because I love zoom), but the 9's have just blown me away.
Any other questions just ask. I think I covered the basics.
I'm really thinking about grabbing a pair of EM Lows... especially when I already have the 8s. Will probably just get Flyknit Lows if ever they do drop.
To be honest, it's hard to resist the Bruce Lees. But I must sit this one out. SMFH.

Copped the lows yesterday for 135 and did a lace swap on em. Took the laces from Pythons 8s for them View media item 891215Hopefully they come out with some mid tops or something cause those elites are just TOO high for me. Theyre still nice tho

So that draft day colourway is the superhero one correct?
Nah, if they were he probably would have gifted him one of those Black/White/Silver PEs. Apparently he gave a pair to Rudy Gay who I assume gave it to Demar Derozan. I got this info from promotagged lol.

Unfortunately I'm only able to play once a week lately and it's on carpet...... DO NOT USE KOBE 8s or KOBE 9 EM ON CARPET! Ha it's pretty obvious you shouldn't but just wanted to let y'all know they will get holes from the friction with the carpet! I can show pics of my 8s later! I only used them like 2 or 3 times and they were done! [emoji]128553[/emoji][emoji]128553[/emoji][emoji]128553[/emoji]

I totally agree. It's more wearable with everything too. Can't go wrong with this one. [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Funny guy lol.
The MP's might be defected. They should be the same height as the Inspiration. I'll take them off your hands.

keep on ice forever?
If a shoe is beautiful, wouldn't you want to... WEAR them?
You only live once bro, it's highly unlikely that anyone will cut through a pair of shoe especially within this forum.
We got tons of sneakers and unless you ball regularly, those details will look fresh years from now from casual use.

yes , starting from last year kobe 8, he switched from zoom to lunarlon. Though the kobe 8s for some models had zoom (elite or nike + versions)
but basically the answer to your question is yes.

I know some of you think they are trash, but I love them and just bought them on footlocker.eu.
And I found today the official photos of NDC, it seems there will be a larger release after all...
