well you could sell your soul to a crossroads demon for 10yrs of shoe supremacy
 
Nike is trying to kill us this month, damn.

I wonder how available the China's will be.

Mango's coming out also.
 
 
I'm from Finland so I don't know if they're reliable or not haha. Planning to swap them to my Moonwalkers/Hyper Grapes, only asking because I read someone saying that 3M will destroy the flywire.

That was me...but it was for a pair of flat laces that were 100% 3M. They were like sandpaper.

You should be fine with the rope laces, the 3M is just woven in and not nearly as abrasive as the laces I tried. And yes, Laced Up are reliable and have great products.

I regret not putting a little more effort into grabbing a pair of the Beethoven's. :smh:

Oh well... Spent too much money last week anyway.
 
I'm not sure what I feel about these. I probably need to see them in person.

A white, grey or smoke colored sole would be better IMO.

yea ditto that.. but at the same time no.. cause i got wayy too many red shoes.. and if that was white/wolf grey sole.. i would get in trouble with the wifey

RANDOM THOUGHT:


SEEMS LIKE (WELL FACTS) THE KOBE 9 LINE IS TANKING JUST LIKE THE LEBRON 11'S WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW C/W'S.

ONLY THING KEEPING THE KOBE LINE AFLOAT IMO IS ELITES AND ELITE LOW ID'S.

HOPE NIKE CAN REDEEM THEMSELVES IN THE FALL/WINTER MONTHS.
The Kobe 9 line is tanking?? basically every colorway has sold out or close to other than the EM's. Considering the High Elites are 225$ retail and the Low Elites are 200$ retail, I'd say theyre far from tanking. Oh yeah, not to mention the MC ID's are selling out stupid style.

TBH whoever picked the release colorways so far should be fired. I've pretty much hated this line despite it being one of my favorite designs and materials.

I WAS ESSENTIALLY TALKING ABOUT THE EM'S.

THATS WHY I SAID: "ONLY THING KEEPING THE KOBE LINE AFLOAT IMO IS ELITES AND ELITE LOW ID'S."

EM'S ARE MOVING AT A SNAILS PACE WHICH IM SHOCKED COMPARED TO THE QUICK MOVEMENT OF THE 8'S(MOSTLY ALL THE C/W'S)
 
I believe someone in the thread earlier made the comparison of the EMs being like a Kobe Team line. I know that's what the venoms are but after those 3 colorways I think it stands true.
 
Seriously why use all caps in a forum. Also kobe has been hurt and considering lebro'n doesn't even wear the lebron 11. I think both are selling well. Lebrons sell more because of volume so keep that in mind when you see some sitting on shelves. Kobes are not produced as much. So if you see those sitting then that shoe was definetly not sought after.

It also has a lot to do with them putting out a new pair of kicks every other week. They didn't put out 8's this fast, in such a short time frame.

They've released I believe 8 EM's, not including the Philippines. Now include the elite highs and lows. That's crazy, and it's only August. We still have three months until basketball season. And if they're on a full year cycle until the ASG, they're on pace for 50 colorways.

I personally haven't liked a pair of EM's since the black crimsons. Not including Chinas and Philippines.

The Sulfur's, Blue Light's, Supernatural's, etc. were sitting on shelves for a while too If I remember correctly. I was able to cop the Sulfur's 7 or 8 month's after they released. Even the Easter's, Xmas Light's, and BHM's were relatively easy to grab locally for me. The Easter 9's, Bruce Lee's and Crimson's are all sold out in my area. I guess it depends on location. However, a FTL manager did tell me that they reallocate Kobe's (some shoes/cw's in general) to locations where sales/demand for a particular model/cw were higher.

Those 3 cw's look hell of a lot better than last years TB's imo.

yeah I definitely agree that the EM's are not selling. Prolly gonna be seeing a lot of them in outlets. They're actually an incredible performance shoe though. Less heel slippage than the low elites IMO. But aesthetically you can't compare the 2... I want to see what the next high elite looks like tho. Definitely one of the best performance sneakers I've balled in (next to the Kobe IV).
 
Caps > No punctuation imo

I run out of breath trying to read walls of run-on sentences. :lol:
