The Official Kobe XI NikeID Thread - Elite & EM available now

I gotta see how that dark grey upper looks (kind of weird there's no Wolf Grey), otherwise the rest of the pairs on my wishlist are white upper, next up will be a Beethoven pair, might have to make that Uncle Drew one posted a few days ago.

To each their own...but I love my pair; mainly because it's one of the few X iDs options that weren't spray painted.  It's real flyknit weave like the light grey 'Beethoven' base model, the multi-grey base model, and the Mambacolor.  

ALL flyknit options for the XIs should be woven like this for $245.

Ragrets have set in on the Grinches. Dope paint job on the Kobe logo.

im new to all this but what is the disadvantage with painted flyknit ?

Just doesn't look as good sometimes.
Not as nice as actual colored yarn flyknit.

The colour isn't as rich in colour as it should be.

That on feet pic with Demar make them look much much better lol....in its defense i think this fade looks way better than the last 2 sigs

Just got this. I still have a pair of Grinches not even started, but whatever, I'll gladly take these coming first

I would repaint the S&P look to a true white.

Adding to what others have already said. Also the fade may not be sprayed evenly. Might get a darker/lighter fade as well.

Kobe's PE from last night doesn't have that sprayed fade like on iD so that's further proof they are painted.

Finally broke down and ordered. Initially said delivery by 2/29, but the follow up email shaved a week and said 2/22

Nice pairs! Liking both of those.

Thanks bro, been itching for an inline colorway like the V, and wanted a durable pair that wont show too much dirt to hoop in (my wolf grey X id get dirty fast, so I was worried about this white upper, looks like it will be close to the same shade as the wolf grey on the X)

Been trying to play around with a Hollywood Nights pair, gotta wait to see how different colored soles come out I guess, really need a solid purple sole especially if only the bottom of the transparent sole is the different color...

if they turn out to look close to the rendering, they will be straight fire 

 

[superstarlord]

Wonder if maybe I should change the lining to get a little more purple assuming the sole won't be of much help

Not sure if it's already been established, but I looked in the display pair of ids in Nike shop Glasgow, had the yellow to orange fade pairs seen elsewhere, but inside the flyknit is grey, so painted for both external colours View media item 1870346

but nike customer service told me yesterday that nothing is painted....

Purple lining g lol that would make it the same pair I am still contemplating in my basket, except with a black sole.

I would go with a purple liner.

But both designs look good

Thanks fellas, that'll be one more sitting on the wishlist for now, here's a couple other pairs I'll probably be ordering. Beethoven and an all-grey pair that reminds me of one of my favorite pairs of 10s Kobe wore when he was in Denver. Gotta see how that painted grey flyknit turns out though.

 

[iks mod]

After getting my BHMs in, I'm liking the look of a solid outsole a lot more.  Definitely a preference thing I know

 

[shaboy]

Flyknit painted confirmed

According to Nike these were only designed on Tuesday night at 9PM in London. By 5PM on Thursday, he was wearing them on court. Sounds fishy!

cant wait to see how finished products turn out, got these on deck:

Just playing around trying to make a poor-man's pair of his shoes from last night with the options available, actually liking how these look too. This shoe in general is going to be a problem. Add one more to wishlist...goodbye tax return...
