Saw the brazil and influence... Mehhh

Copped the Lebron xi south beach

Next purchase will be whenever the WTL release and the mj & Beethoven
 
So, I know the Elites are great on the court, but has anyone played on outdoor courts? How did the traction hold up?

I probably wouldn't wear them on outside courts. That extra sticky grip on the sole will wear out pretty quickly. Order a pair with a xdr bottom if you really want to hoop outside. Those soles are designed for the streets
 
Thanks man, I saw my friend hooping in them outside and told him that they'd get burned, (it was a NASTY court) and he said that he was fine. Appreciate the input!
 
Anyone know if nike changed the search by style code policy? I tried searching and refreshing the page for the influences and the Brazils and nothing showed up even at :02

Kobes are the worst now for outdoor courts. The rubber is thinner than ever since the 8. Either get xdr or some other shoe. While the traction on the shoe indoor is better now, It was def a play on nikes part knowing they would wear out faster leading to people to have to buy more pairs.

Ya I think they eliminated this method. Such a shame too. Usually worked really well for me

I think they did.  I've tried the search method the past couple releases and failed on all of them..LOL
 
[thread="550678"]Maybe ill get blasted for this one lol.[/thread]
[thread="550678"] [/thread]
[thread="550678"]For some reason im not as excited for the cw's coming out for the flynit lows as I though. Im thinkin about just iding a pair instead.[/thread]
That's assuming ID even comes out for the flyKnit lows, unless you're talking about IDing an EM pair.
 
So what color are the laces going to be for the purple FK lows? Nike picture has black laces, but that video someone posted has purple laces and those weird pictures had grey laces???
 
 
anyone else have to do a lace swap on their Philippines because the red ones weren't long enough to lace tightly when balling?
I immediately swapped the navy laces in to play ball since they're thicker.

I don't know if the navy laces are any longer than the red ones, but I haven't had an issue lacing them up tightly when I play. They're definitely shorter than the laces on the 8s - which is a good thing, IMO.

yeah lol..talked to the nike reps and they couldn't understand the question and kept telling me that the influence was sold out smh... but back to the point .. the last product i was able to search was the LM's 3 weeks ago

I was talkin about em. My bad for not clarifying on that one. Would love to see flynit I'd but I would imagine it would have a lack of options and it would be super expensive.
 
For the sz 14 footers out there:

There's a DS pair of Philippines 9 on eBay right now ending in an hour

Item number 181442535358*

Sorry for the double-post, but does anyone know the length of the Kobe 9 Elite laces? I wanna switch em with teal laces.
