another China exclusive huh? This is the only Em that looks decent in my eyes. Simple. Gold.

This is the only Em that looks decent in my eyes.

Philippine's still reign supreme to me. EM or not, a great looking Kobe 9.

 

[619destroyer858]

heard its a general release so some sport chalet may carry them i doubt these will sell out 

I hope you're right

 

[blacklion23]

China's are the best EMs by far. But I'm guessing the story with these will be the same as it was with the Sparks, no chance unless you stay in China.

On another note, the prices for the HTMs on eBay :x

 

[iks mod]

@blacklion23  yeah those HTM prices are crazy.  I know it was an Italy exclusive release and all but 2 stacks plus...

 man oh man

China's

 

[YepYeppers]

Those China's are perfect. Simple colorway that's fire. Without a giant pattern all over the shoe. I don't mind patterns but prefer them to not be all over

 

[kmstivers]

For those who are too lazy to click the SneakerNews link for the China EM's.

 

[gtmorgan23]

If you guys see the release date let me know. I got a buddy that is teaching in China, maybe he can snag me a pair.

 

[aiya]

Stopped by my local FTL and can confirm that it comes with purple laces only. Fits a little snugger than the elite highs and there seems to be slightly less room in the toe box. I am going TTS on these for the perfect fit. My elite highs are a little roomy in the toebox at TTS. 

 

[jhwang37]

Not sure if it's been asked but how many inches are the Kobe 9 low laces? Don't own a pair of the lows to measure it.

Philippines > Chinas all day, IMO.

The tongue detail on the Chinas is nice for sure, but that shiny gold overlay on the toe looks so bad. I'll never understand why Nike continues to do this with the 9s... They did the same for many of the 8s and every single color way (8 & 9) would look better with the clear overlay.

 

[davis]

china's. .

 

[Kobekobe]

China's are the best em low

 

[thapointguy]

Chinas looking good but I'm gonna pass if they are releasing in the US. Would've made an iD first thing if I really wanted a red based IX.

 

[s dubl]

China's look like some IDs.... Agree with some of y'all, best EMs so far.

 

[thecity415]

I'm confused. Are mine real or not lol the midsole looks like colored texture paint speckles on all of em or mine are fake? Either way I can just open that claim if that's the case.

Fake bro... You need to check who sold you these pairs with your goons

 

[mj2324kb]

China's look like some IDs.... Agree with some of y'all, best EMs so far.

Exactly what I thought, out side the tongue logo and the material on back heel not much different. But agree, best EM yet. 

There is no salt burn greater than the Spark 8s, this doesn't even tickle.

 

[airballllllllll]

I think sneaker news is reporting that those "China" EMs have a white based XDR sole
