It's just flat out hideous.

Ya my previous post about the EM was a pass.  Still going in the wrong direction for me.  I'll stick with the elites 

 

[holcs]

Thank God all the upcoming EMs are pretty f'ugly cuz I'm liking the 9 low more than I thought I would, and I'd be broke after my spending spree on the 8s (I think we all threw down a good amount for the 8s haha).  Good lord that chaos/clown whatever it is is just awful.  The weird striped one is bad, and the black, pink one with the cracked midsole is ok at best.  

These Easters I got I honestly consider more comfortable than the 8's, but that's just walking around.  Tomorrow night going to hoop in them…ill see if i can throw a few down, and post up my thoughts.  No doubt tho, the 9 low em is more comfortable casually than the 8- tho also a bit heavier which I noticed is because of the completely different outsole material used. The new "sticky" traction on the 9 is heavier making the base of the shoe/and overall shoe heavier.

 Looking forward to seeing some more colorways-hopefully not so over the top…just keep it basic nike, damn

For all my EU folks, FTL EU just restocked a bunch of Kobe IX Elite's, also a bunch of nice Jordans:

NDC shows them as the 6/21 release, which makes them the "Kobe IX EM/Game Royal 646701-413"

I might be a little weird, but I'm really digging this pair.  I may try and cop.

Too early for me to pass judgement on the 9lows. Need to see HD or on-feet pics first

 

[ocjays23]

Good luck with that.....

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

plenty of on feet pics out there, and even a few in here..  

how about you go in to your local ftl and look at them in person and maybe even try them on ? or are you talking about the newer colorways?

i guess they're calling the ones that drop on 6/21 the "Brazil" has this all ready been mentioned?

 

[geoff2005]

i guess ill be saving my money till flyknit lows

 

[goat4521]

Has anyone done a lace swap with the Easters? I'm thinking about doing one to break up some of the volt on the tongue.

Fire! These will be mine. Hopefully people stay not liking them and it's an easy cop.

I like the look of all these new EM's but from a casual wear perspective i'm disappointed in how the engineered mesh holds up. My bruce lees have crumpled a lot immediately.

Otherwise, i think they look great and are really comfy.

White flyknit is a pain in the *** to keep clean. I had the white flyknit trainers, wore em once carefully and they got dirty. The dirt wouldn't come off, only smeared.

I'm glad someone said it. That's why I will easily pass on the draft days and golds.

Crumpled? Not sure what you mean by that.

Did you get your right size. Haven't worn easters, but I wear Kung Fu's a couple of days a week to the gym.

Not to mention my 8's.

 

[Hahahaha]

The "Unleashed" and "Chaos" or whatever those pairs are called are HARD

 They just get a little rippled/creased on the sides (maybe because of my wide feet?) Same thing happens on the air max 90 ice for me. I have my right size for these....snug fit. 

The upper on the 8s just seem to hold up better for me.

It's not anything major...just a little complaint. It wouldn't be as apparent on a busier shoe like the easters.

There's no hopefully, bro. They're all yours.

 

[sogood]

Can we go ahead and end the "Chaos" nickname talk for the 6/21 pair?

That's doing an enormous disservice to the Chaos colorways on previous Kobes.
