Do you guys think the easter kobe 9's will sell out faster than the bruce lees? 

I'm thinking about just going to my local footlocker early friday to cop the shoes.

yes, sadly almost anything titled "ASG, BHM, Easter, Christmas, etc" will sell out regardless

even if they look hideous (just like the kobe 9 easter ems this year) they'll sell out because of their "Easter" label..

that's the truth, not trying to raise the hype
 
just my preference,

but PJ Tucker's "showtime" PE>>> Actual showtimes that will dropp

just my preference, but curious to see if im the only one that feels that way...
 
This years Easter collection has to be the WORST Collection Set EVER..
ehh.. they are ok...

kinda feeling the 11 lows, and the kds are ok

the superhero collection last year were a joke...

when you combine the jacked-up prices on the kb8s, lbj10s, and kd5 and their aweful color scheme... those might actually be worse than the easters this years....

I prefer the Showtimes that are releasing... can't do that volt liner and darker orange flyknit

Online should be able cop. A lot of shoes coming in April and hype is low and  dislike is high. Stores may do raffles which is always questionable.
 
Retiring my Kung Fu's after 1 day of basketball. Kid stepped on them with dirty kicks & mesh got dirty. No clue how to clean it, I'll look it up, but I'm going back to my Inspiration's lol.
I personally like them better than the 8 tho. Traction on the 9's are pure beast. Best traction I've had on shoes since probably the 2008 Hyperdunk (not counting the Kobe 8 since it's release was just last year)

Thanks for the info. So only downside was they can get dirty? Sounds great. Did they fit like last year for you? Mine are in the mail and can't wait to get my hands on them.
 
 
So why retire them lol?

basketball kicks get dirty
you beat me to it...  God forbid your basketball shoes get dirty or scuffed... Who would have thought? Now if my John Lobb oxfords get scuffed on the basketball court..  tell me that bc that's some weird sh*t

You're absolutely right lol, but the yellow on these pops so much that I'd much rather keep them clean. It was instantly noticeable soon as they were stepped on even for a quick second, so I would just prefer to keep them clean for the Summer. My other shoes get stepped on, but it'll take more than just 1 step to be noticed. Hate to see these get dirty after 1 step. I can only imagine after a few

Yea, definitely TTS as well. I went .5 size on Elite's, but these I kept TTS. Fit like a glove, I actually think these are more comfortable than the 8.

Just my preference, I wasn't going to make these my main balling shoes anyway, just wanted to give them a test run to see how they measure up compared to the 8's and Elite's. 
I've balled in plenty of shoes and after the first time they still look great, I just don't want these to get too bad after only 1 wear. Had no intention of using them regularly. Wanna keep them clean for the Summer time

If you missed out on the lows, I feel that chances are you could stock locate on Monday. The reps on NDC will look it up for you under the chat section. Some pairs seem to be sitting
