Semi-unrelated but I guess its safe to assume the first Kobe 9 is coming 2/1/14?

 

[eightfivefresh]

Oh man...

maybe KOBE (3) III's in Engineered Mesh without the Waffle Pattern...?!

Those were made for a EM Retro.  

 

[eightfivefresh]

I bet they implement flyknit somewhere, somehow on all these retros....

Yo, with the new developments... should this go from a "Zoom Kobe I Retro" thread & turn into a "Kobe Prelude Retros" Thread?

 

[s dubl]

....it should.

 

[bman71]

You can best believe if these drop stateside in dec im skipping every jordan release. Including the og 1's

 

[thapointguy]

Wow I hope the "prelude" goes up to the VIIs(I don't care if some of you hated them but I like them ). Need more IVs and Vs too. They gotta put them on the US release calendar. Don't get us excited just to be an EU release.

 

[eightfivefresh]

Just Imagine the KOBE III's in Engineered Mesh Upper...

I slept on these hard in 2008...

... another MVP-Worthy Season, btw.

 

[af1 1982]

Not sure how I feel about this. Leave the 1, 4, and 5 alone. As long as they don't change the materials or anything I'll be fine with it. Like one "prelude" color way per model

 

[vc3fan]

You guys, they are releasing his sig line up until the release of the Kobe 9.



You are reading too much into things. Just the shoes being re-released leading up to something more important. No changes in design, maybe colors, but not the designs of the original shoes.

 

[af1 1982]

It just doesnt make sense. Why release the shoes now for the 9? Why not do it for the 10?

Or maybe its his last sig shoe 

 

 

[senorroboto2k5]

The discussion probably went: Kobe tore his achilles > he might be out for a while > we might need to push the IX back > let's fill the time with some retroes

 

[geraldg2309]

I think especially cause this 9 is going to be a radically new revolution/evolution in his sig line, they are really trying to build anticipation for it by releasing these kobe preludes

 

[JRaW’d]

zkIII's needed absolutely no alterations. more colorways would been nice tho.

anyway, just sounds like theyre remixing an earlier kob sig.

like one of you said, expect flywire or EM. please dont be foolish enough to expect actual leather...

Pretty Much

II's > for me in the Kobe line when it comes to ball.

That grip, lock down feel and zoom air bouncing under my feet was reddic.

this man knows.

Zoom kobe II orcas >>>* still my favorite kobes of all time.

 

[delete1234]

my body is ready for some 1s, 4s, 5s and 6s, maybe some new CW 7s?

i miss my premium goods kobe 1

give us the 5 rings kobe 5 again

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

Ahhhhh, so excited. I still have a few pairs of I's and II's, but a Retro is welcome! Hopefully they are good quality and still perform.

The Kobe I is my go to shoe because of back problems. The cushioning is unbelievable. Kobe II's feel like pillows under feet.

 

[mj2324kb]

I lost or destroyed every Kobe 1-3, all my kicks are 4-8. I need these retros (if they look decent) like I need Aqua 8 and Playoff 9s in my mj collectoin to fill out. 1-8 kobes and 1-14 jordans finally finished!! 

comon nike... you screwed us on some nice 8s, now give us some nice retros!!!

 

[vrai1]

Holy ship. If all this is for real I'm going to have to find a 2nd job.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

One shoe a week :x

Glad I skipped some of the shoes that I was on the fence about...

I love the silhouette of the 3. If they are indeed switching materials I'm interested to see it on the 3.
