THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

[s dubl]

 
Ive been there a few times and they always say the kobes usually sell out within the first two hours of release. Didn't really matter which colorway at the price point they were giving.

They had all of the Kobe 8 EM low colorways sitting, and still a pass for me at $80.

For $80 I might've bit on the black/crimsons.... Maybe lol. Still haven't seen em in person.

I love the colors of the USA 9 but I have yet to see one picture of someone wearing them that makes them look good on foot. Gotta save the cash for the Beethovens.

Dang man. I would love the crimsons for that price. I would even take usa for that price.

I don't know why I didn't clarify but I meant the 8's. They sold out in a matter of two hours lol. I haven't been in there since the 9's have dropped. Maybe ill get lucky and get a pass lol.

Everyone just posts IG pics now. I just search Kobe9. Everyone wants to go wild socks with the shoe which also makes it difficult to tell how these really look on foot.

no

but these threads suck now, remember years ago these threads used to be filled with nothing but pics

either people dont care anymore or just buying to resell so they dont both

 

[tigo0240]

Gotchya. Well...I post pics of all my pickups proudly. If I had copped the ID4s there would be pictures!


I seriously wish they had just used the "waves" near the heel and toe, and some stars. Would have been much more tempting.

This dude's pic had me thinking they had stars on the outsole for a sec:

 

 
NDC pair came in...

Anyone "cool" in here that owns a pair of the HTMs?
Wore a sz 10.5 in the 6s, 11 in the 7s, and back to 10.5 in the 8s.
I want to figure out my sz for the elite lows soon.

Or should I assume the elite lows fit like the elite highs? Or the EMs fit like the elite lows? Then I'll just try on the elite highs or EMs in store.

 

[tigo0240]

you should be good with a 10.5


I can't see them drastically changing the fit of the shoe just because it's a low.

For me the elite high and low fit the same in length. However, the em lows are more snug at tts. I personally felt that tts with double socking is better than half size down. Some people will tell you half size down is the way to go but this has been my experience with them.

There were no half sizes for HTM's

It's a slow day in the thread.  My ranking of the Kobe IX, thus far.

#3

#4

#5

(List is subject to change pending future releases)

 

[tigo0240]

I'll play...but I've gotta separate EMs and Elites:

Elites

MP
Details
ASG


EMs

Easters
Philippines
Bruce Lees

errr... that doesn't mean that people who are actually a sz 11 or any whole number size can't tell me if it fit tight or loose or perfect...

 

[ninersallday]

My Kobe 9 Top 5

1. Masterpiece

2. ASG

3. Detail

4. Influence

5. Philippines

 

[philosophre]

My Kobe 9 Top 5

1. Beethoven
2. MJ / Prince
3. TBD (another Low Elite?)
4. MP (only if 4 inches were removed from the high)
5. Details (only if you cut the ankle brace part off which becomes almost Beethoven)

Really not a fan of the high elites, too high (literally and price)
Nor the EMs, looks trashy (cw designs)

Anyone have an advice on how to clean the flyknit on the elites?  Been playing ball in the influences and the orange has been turning brown 

 

[kobeoverbron]

Was at nike HQ today and walked right by Eric Avar, sorry I had to tell someone!

Please tell me you were looking for Fades.

Seeing this totally changed my view of them. They are by far the best CW of the 9 high or low IMO. I've always said this sneaker looks better in loud colors. Good job Nike.
