This Christmas Pack is the worst.

For me it has to be the 8's.  They hold a special place in my heart.  First Kobes I bought were the 7's, but didn't really get into them until the 8's.

Why the 8's are my favorite?

Because of what Kobe did on the court while wearing them.  The season with Howard + Nash + Gasol + Bryant, supposed to be a championship dynasty.  But it all went wrong really quickly.  

Kobe basically single handedly willed the team to the playoffs.  It was the last season that you could make a legit argument of Kobe being the best player in the league.  Dunk vs Brooklyn...steal + dunk on Chris Paul...biting his Jersey vs Clippers...dunk vs Josh Smith...duel with Lillard...Amnesty That! Tweet...heroics vs the Raptors...Golden State free throws.  And he did all this wearing the 8's.
Kobe was the best player in the nba that season. Def should have been mvp. The team was TURRIBLE. But don't sleep kobe still has it...let him get decent teammates and he will shoot better. Have more energy at the end of games. Kobe has to shot horrible shots because boozer can't hit ****, and jlin is playing scared along with Wesley Johnson.

Kobe 9 Knit Stocking

Designed to the specifications of Bryant’s fluid style of play, the KOBE 9 is the first basketball shoe to feature Nike Flyknit technology.  The KOBE 9 gets a festive makeover highlighting its knitted aesthetic with a red and white Flyknit upper, taking inspiration from a knit stocking.  Supple leather textures on the tongue and overlays give the shoe a premium feel, accented by a marbled outsole resembling candy canes.  Inside, the shoe reads “Mamba’s Greetings,” a hidden detail from Bryant on the inner tongue.

I think kobe passing mj will be a true jordan colorway like some breds elites or space jams or whatever colorway jordan was wearing when kobe dropped 55 on him

Finally.....someone who watches the games and doesn't just look at the box score. The box score isn't the always the best indicator on how the game goes. Last night, I don't know how many times other players got open shots because they had to double kobe on the post before he even got the ball.

Sorry about rant. Honestly I'm liking the Christmas colorway more and more. The problem is that I don't love them. For that price tag I feel there shouldn't be a doubt in your mind whether you want them or not. At least for me personally.
 
wonder if that guy that stated that the soles were inspired by candy canes and got called crazy got an apology...
 
man, was holding back and hoping for a good kobe ix deal.

saw the camarillo outlet post on fb and hurried over (i work about 15 min away) and copped a size 11 detail! so happy.

Im pretty sure if the Christmas Kobes were at the outlets for 180$ like the details everyone saying the shoe is ugly would cop in a heartbeat so don't lie to the kids nooooow
 
I think I'd feel best just not owning them, at all.



Chlorine Blue/Multi Highs (rumored) and for the love of sweet baby jesus...give us one more elite low
