[h1]KOBE 9 EM[/h1]
The KOBE 9 EM features engineered mesh and dynamic Flywire for natural motion without compromising strength and durability.  Inspired by the Easter tradition of dying colorful eggs, the Kobe 9’s upper makes a splash with its green and blue dyed aesthetic.

The Nike Basketball Easter Collection is available April 18 at Nike.com  and select retail locations globally.  Each shoe’s special colorway also comes to life in a matching t-shirt available in limited quantities globally; the KD VI and LEBRON 11 Low also have matching hats that will be available. 

Kobe Shirt looks better than the Shoes... just sayin.

I like the midsole, panels & bottom outsole. Can't get down with that Upper though...

My feet blister quite easily, however, they blister even more so when I wear the Kobe 8 or Kobe 9. I finally figured out why. I'm not sure if anyone else has the same problem as me, but my feet sweat a bit, and no matter what kind of socks I use (cotton, non-cotton, blister-free, elite, etc.) all the sweat just sits on top of the lunarlon insole, making my feet just sit on the wetness which then causes blisters.

On the Lebrons and other sneakers I don't have this problem because it has that bit of fabric on the insole. 

Does anyone else have the same problem ? I don't mean blistering, but when you pull out the insole, it's just dripped in sweat, just laying on top of the lunarlon foam? It's quite frustrating, as I have almost every colorway of the Kobe 8 and all the Kobe 9s so far. I love the comfort, but I can't use them for an all-day-at-work-at-events traveling days that I have or to work out in.

Maybe I can find some sort of very very thin fabric insert that I can lay on top of it. That could help. Anyone know anything like this?

I sometimes find myself putting the Lebron XI insert inside the Kobe 9 (fits great for me since I go up half a size on both anyway) and I don't have this sweat problem at all. I really think it's just because of that thin piece of fabric on top of the lunarlon.

That's the only appealing item in this year's Easter collection...IMO.

Pics of the tee?

Finally got my MPs!

Best C.W. there will ever be for Kobe 9s. 

 

[Kobekobe]

none of these lows better be limited.

The easter pack is garbage. Lebrons are decent only cause they are the most basic but these terrible patterns need to stop.

i have really and i mean really sweaty feet and i never get blisters but then again everyones diff but my feet/socks are literally soaked as if i pulled them from a washing machine

note, if i ever sell used shoes... dont buy em

They could be a Europe exclusive for all I know. I hope you are right though, since the next few weeks after is unlikely because of showtimes and easter pack. Makes sense.

 

[dwr73244]

The easter pack is garbage. Lebrons are decent only cause they are the most basic but these terrible patterns need to stop.

Not a fan of vibrant colors huh? lol

 

[888sneakerst]

Easters are nice, but I think not a "must have" for me.  I do think they are better than the Bruce Lees.  So if I had to choose one of the lows so far, it would be the Easters, but waiting on those bred ones to come out.

 

[illest35]

They use legit pics but I'm sure the actual product they send looks nothing like it.  The flyknit would be way to difficult to replicate

B grades from their chinese factory bro. maybe rejects for worldwide i get that, but they utilize the same material. my friend bought airmaxs here and we compared it to the real thing, its basically the same except the tag inside was fckd.

Good call I always forget about the B-Grade's that get sent out to those sites. At least their technically not fakes haha

So those All Stars are just B grades for 85$?

I may consider if they're not "fake"..

I need some Devotions..

 

[mou5pad]

the manager let me use it on details..i looked everywhere on my vip card to see if there was a release shoe exemption and never did find one

I always use my vip on release day, and even gave me a new one after my purchase.. Has to be in store tho.

 

[nsquared8]

 
Best C.W. there will ever be for Kobe 9s. 

Def one of the best.  Precision and the Showtime / LA Nights aren't bad.

 

[v3nomenon]

The EM is alright, but I'm not really feeling the colorways.  I may cop the Easter pair, but it is a little loud for my taste.

 

[bdrake823]

I honestly have no clue, I wouldn't risk it personally

 

[nsquared8]

Pretty sure all those shoes on that site are fake but who knows.  Scary to think there are that many fakes out there.

 

[mj2324kb]

Sad: cuz not many colorways I enjoy or have right now

Happy: Get to save a little bit more for the ones I do like

Comonnnnnnnnnnnn Red White Black Cement Pair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition to switching out the insoles, put some Dr. Scholl's powder in your socks. They'll absorb the moisture and stank.

[pums]

I'm pretty excited to get my Bruce Lee's later but i just remembered  i have yet to use my maestros.

 

[ddash]

Those Easters 9s are really nice.Doubt I buy but they are very nice.

The 9 highs are just looking like pure trash with these 3 new colorways.Straight ruining the the 9s

 

[navster]

all I want from the Easter Collection is that KD shirt 

 

[sneakerserpent]

Would anyone agree with me when I say that the Kobe 9 is one of the greatest shoes ever put together?
