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

[brucekent22]

If these wouldn't have been limited they would still be sitting like the other 4 EM's. Hype machine at its finest.

I gotta respectfully disagree man, I think this colorway is what brought out most of the crowd!  Besides the Crimson's, these are about the most functional and practical colorways to be released at this point.  I can't wait to rock them!  I like the Pop-Arts, but just couldn't justify the price tag for that color scheme…Can't pull off those yellow Bruce Lees, just not for me…Those Easters are 

 to me….   Happy I was able to cop at my local HOH!!!

I actually like all Ems tbh in this order.
Popart
Crimsons
Easters
Bruce lees
Premium ( the only reason I would cop because I'm filipino and hype) but last on the list for me.

To be honest, the Premium edition is (almost) all hype and no substance IMHO. I switched from Jordans (you can't live in the past) to Kobes recently and I can tell most of the people this side of the pond bought them for the hype and that's it. With Jordans is WAY worse than that, people don't even know what they buy.

The gold swoosh and clear sole with the tsinelas are the major selling points for me. Put that upper on a grey sole and I would easily pass just like every EM low released so far.

I gotta disagree..these premiums have plenty of substance and thought put into them..easily more than the past color ways that have dropped..being Filipino it's pretty easy to relate and want these as well as being a big kobe fan...I have the crimsons and Bruce lees so these wouldn't have been my first em if I was lucky enough to get them..which I wasn't lol

Finally offed the size 12 I copped this morning so I can go and cop my size of these Kobe PPs. Phew.

I totally respect that and I get it perfectly, it's just that being an older sneakerhead I tend to like more "subtle" CW. I own the Crimsons myself, I love the shoe and I like the player (most of the time anyway!) but believe me when I tell you, and I'm sorry you didn't get them, that 90% of people buying them here in Europe barely know who Kobe is (VERY casual fans), let alone the filipino heritage...

$280 shipped. Wanted to unload them before Carmines dropped. Once those drop all hell will break loose and people's funds will be limited.

Those black laces look good in the perspectives up there.

LOL...true story.  I'll be up early too, salt in hand for the carmine's..LOL

I was out of the shoe game since 2009 until
They dropped the masterpieces. Having been wildin out with every kobe 9 release buying almost every pair since I struck out today I'm kind of glad I didn't get the premium lows. Because now I remember why I got out in the first place. Dealing with the stress and BS of trying to cop. After the "golds" I'll be done for sure. (My sons middle name is "gold")

I come from Jordan land, where elephant print is considered loud and grounbreaking, you gotta give some rope here!. I secretly like the Pop Arts, but I don't dare to buy them...
