Nah 8 lows poop on the 9s in every way. I tried them on. Just some improved Venomenons.

how about in cushioning? any diff in not having the carbon fiber plate?

Personally I think the lows are comfortable. IMO the elites and EM lows are both solid.

kobe xmas shoes were always excellent with the exception of this years 

so true

Just got my Lee's n hope they last long. Material feels cheap and not very strong.

I love how people take time out if their day to talk trash about the 9 lows knowing damn well they're top 10 nike of all time

 

[navster]

I don't think it's possible for me to disagree more here lol

Are the Easters and Showtimes going to be limited?  Showtimes > Easters IMO

Showtimes are a GR, Easters will probably be a limited GR like the ASG...

Both will sell well, but you shouldn't have any problems as long as you grab them on the mornings of their releases.

Depends on what we are rating the shoe on..

Comfort: up there in top 5 easily

Putting fly wire under the em = $20 increase for nike.

They're the best Kobe's to date on the court. I think the only reason they're being hated on is cause the 8's were a big hit. Wait for more colourwuas of the 9

Reminds me of the Kobe 6 not being as good to some ppl cause the 5's were prob goat when it came to colourways released.

After seeing them in person and trying them on i dont think the flywire on the low does anything. The laces go through those soft plastic eyelets when tighten all they do is hold down the flywires. Same thing as my lebron xi..i dont feel them. All the lock down are from the construction of the shoe. Personally i always thought they are gimmicks. The $20 increase for the same EM material on a different looking shoe i just dont see it. At least the elites has the flyknite that takes longer to make.

[D_eezus]

If these are this years fades... we will have to beg and plead for a while for them to release. I remember when the PE of the fades first popped up
