They don't look so bad. You got them on Feet already. Tell me your not going to put it back in the box and sell it to some unknowing customer.

So this just popped up on the Australian release calendar.

Anyone know what they look like?
 
Prob like the first samples we saw, or some lifestyle bs that no one will care about unless they're limited.
 
 
The EM's have not been a bad shoe by any means, it's just that the Elites are overshadowing them. Due to the high popularity of the Elites/Elite Lows, Nike isn't focusing as much on the EM's. Although some EM's have been pretty clean and there are more to come, it just seems like random patterns have been thrown on. At least there was a reason behind the patterns of the Kobe 8 which is now one of my all time favorites. 
EM's are an ID shoe with few exceptions (Philippines, Bruce Lees...) The ID options are great. They're not really trying...and I suppose they don't need to. FK/Elites are where people's heads are at.
 
^ if your speakin on the patterns, i agree.

in the past couple of years, kobes have become way too reliant on outlandish patterns to draw appeal.

blame the one peice uppers. they limit colorway possibilities.

one of the reasons i dont bother with kobes much any more...

I don't mind patterns as long as they make sense and look good.

Cobalts are limited though so watch them sell out

Easy pass

Don't think they are limited. No pair limits posted on the launch calendar and other sources say GR as well.

^ that's why if I want EM I stick with 8s. Color combos for the 8s weren't the greatest always, but it wasn't this bad as the EM 9s.
 
Man to be honest I don't have any 8's but the superhero elites and just by going to the 8's forum you can clearly see pretty much all the colorways are better than the 9's none have been good. My girl bought me the poparts and I took them back immediately
 
Okay the Philippines were nice I'm just salty I didn't wake up on time even though nike still had that fiasco.. But the Bruce lees could've been id'ed and those crimsons were supposed to be related to MJ but I'm not seeing it

Just botch the em's and keep going with the flyknits..

Even if they could be ID'ed, for 160 vs. 205, I'll take 160. i think the crimson to Jordan relationship was pretty straightforward, although the crackle on the midsole was more reminiscent of the Blake Griffin Earthquakes than JBrand splatter or elephant.
