Elite highs are dope!

The best shoe in the last 10 years. Such an innovative look and stupid comfortable. Got all the colors I want except for the MPs. Maybe one day. Had them in my cart on release date for 40 minutes. Couldn't get to them.
 
im 6'0 and my legs arent short or fat

good try tho

you might be right about majority of nt
You've made it clear from the get-go that you didn't like the highs. I was just throwing some shade out there to level off the MP vs MC ID rhetoric

I like the MC low IDs (and missed out, twice) but some folks are acting like it's the second coming of the concord

In reality it's just that Nike's designs for the Elite lows have sucked so hard thus far that the best looking version of the shoe is made with leftover material from the launch product.

ASG (own)
Inspirations (owned returned because of sizing)

Elite Lows:
MC(in progress)
University Red
Baes

EM lows: (I ball in these indoor)
Galaxy print

Crimsons
Peach jams
Peach tree joints

Elite highs did change the game. Never balled in so I can't say if I like them or not but they definitely seem constricting.

i play in my perspectives. they are not constricting vs my easter lows. just pain in the *** to put them on or off.

Gotta say the the ems are really nice for ball but I would recommend at least trying to ball in the elite highs. I don't think you will be dissapointed

What are the main differences in your opinion between the two on court?

One of the plus sides of the elite highs in my experience is the support when making lateral movements. I know the high cut doesn't have really any effect on the support but its the actual cut of the shoe that helps with this. This may not be true for everyone but this is what I have experienced. They aren't as snug but they are very comfortable as well. I have also felt the high tops have a bit better lockdown.

Is the price difference between the two really worth it in a performance aspect? Nah, probably not but its definitely worth a try if you got em.
 
Has anyone done a lace swap on the Easters? Thinking about scooping a pair but would like more contrast. Not sure if Nike makes laces to match the upper.
 
Apparently my local HOH did a raffle for the Beethovens that ended yesterday. I didn't think they would do one since the Moonwalkers were FCFS and I just walked in and picked up a pair. Oh well.
 
Hey guys,

I posted this question in the Legit check thread, but seems like alot of Kobe heads dont't check there much. Since alot of the Kobe heads are here, can anyone tell me if these are legit?

Thanks!!
 
^^^^^^^^^^^ They look kinda fake. I don't own a pair tho. Wait for some other peeps to confirm.

These two pics are the only thing I'm hesitant about. The top pic with the tag. That fused label doesn't look right. The part where it's fused is showing a bit too much black from the tongue.

The seond pic. The left side of the shoe. The ankle collar is a little wide towards the back. Reminds me of the fake Kobe 8's with the wide ankle collar.

More confirmation from other peeps would help the dude out and me too. Having a hard time telling.

If it came down to it. I might stay away from this pair. Just my opinion. 

Just grab this pic off the internet. not from the philippines but look at the difference. Look at all the white where it's fused down.
