Wat red flyknits

there's a red elite low on the release calender. everybody got pretty hot and bothered about it like 20-30 pages back. still yet to be unveiled, but using some basic math this is what i get: red flyknit + variable (C) for other color x elite low = immediate buy as long as C doesn't end up as DOO DOO

whoa whoa whoa.... i was assured there would be no math in this thread...

Good thing you didn't see the restock thread a couple months ago. People were getting their jeopardy on with math equations lol

Any tips/tricks on "stretching out" the flyknit on the elite lows? I went TTS (size 11) on the Moonwalkers just like the USA lows, and after trying them on, they are definitely more snug in the toe box. I can feel the top and what seems like the front of the toe. Grabbing a sz 11.5 at this point would be a hassle.

Right now I have some socks packed in the toe.

Thanks

If you have some of the cardboard or real shoe trees, you can try putting those in. Overall though, I would wear them around the house when you get the chance so they can naturally mold and stretch.

I wasn't even going to buy the Michael Jackson's. Not even on my radar. That was until I just saw them in person today. They are undoubtably one of the best purple Kobe's made. I have the Purple Fade 8's and these are just as great. Love how they got really dark on the two purple's. The silver swoosh gives theme that little MJ shine. I personally think that Nike hit it out of the park on this one. I'm really impressed. Luckily I found my size since I didn't even want these at first. I think some people may regret passing on this one.

The only heats that came out to me were the concords and infrared xi ... Get off my case B it's my opinion if I think Jordan's are played out.. The new shoes nike is releasing with technology they use I'm surprised people still buy Jordan's unless your just a Teenie tweener

Uh...

Just left Niketown SF with my size 11. Over 50 pairs left. Good luck to anyone in the Bay who's struck out online yesterday.

All that white is the reason I won't be copping.

 

[7strings]

There seems to be an influx of MP's on the bay right now...expensive but more reasonable than they usually are. Just wanted to throw that out in case anyone was on the hunt. I'd snag some 11's myself if I didn't just grab these ASG's and IDs

But, he said "to him" tho...

He doesn't really care for Jordans anymore... does it really matter?

I wish they would have made the swoosh 3m. Especially being the mj pair I thought they would try to make it flashier.

I thought it was 3m? Wow, if it's not that's disappointing! Oh well! Still can't wait to get them but it really looked like it was in some of the pics!!!

It's metallic silver.

 

[strong316]

It's metallic silver.

Yeah, went back to the pics and seen it was the laces! Not a deal breaker, but would have been a nice addition!

The metallic silver is better. IMO

The swoosh pops.

I have seen a lot of people complaining about the MJs. Not really sure why. It was pretty evident to me from all of the pictures before release that what you saw was what you were going to get. Plain purple base (plain as in no super intricate weave ala MC), silver swoosh, and a really cool outsole.

I am not pinpointing people in this thread but over social media people have been hitting them pretty hard. If you spent $200 and expected something different to come out of the equation with the information given then I do not know what to tell you.

Solid shoe that looks like something Kobe would wear in a game. I passed in lieu of the MC FK IDs. To everyone that picked them up, I hope you're happy.

Very true. For me, pictures didn't capture the beautiful shades of purple on the flyknit or the nice shiny metallic purple on the back piece above the carbon fiber near the rear of the shoe. Also, the tongue is a nice dark rich purple. Love this shoe in person.

This, high expectations could get you in trouble. I just went to the mall and seen it in person. I like them, black lace swap makes them official.

Don't get me wrong it's still a nice shoe, I just think nike missed on a couple opportunities with this shoe. Weaving in multiple colors, or shades of flyknit would have set this shoe off a million times more. When done correctly flyknit mixes can be beautiful. Also as I mentioned the swoosh could also have been tweaked, as well as the laces IMO
