Not bad but GITD doesn't really go with red IMO.

Does anybody else see the beethoven price going up?
White flyknit is already popular..combined with the elite low model= a very aesthetically appealing shoe.

IMO, the 9's don't hold a candle to the 8's, but these Bad Boys are one of the Best Sneakers I've seen in the last few years. PERIOD.
The Literal Icing on the Cake is that they drop on my Birthday.
That "Black Toe" AJXIV's pickup will now be sacrificed in favor of these Beauties.

Red Elites do nothing for me.
Beethovens are best FK lows thus far.

I hope sole collector is wrong about the red flyknit being limited, because unlike the beethovens, there is no hypebeast shoe releasing the same day to deflect some of the hype from these.

It would have been wrong if you didn't cop the Beethovens after seeing your Flyknit Family Portrait.

I recommend going to a retail store if possible and getting your foot measured to know your true to size aka TTS. The kobe elite lows are very snug, esp if you have wide feet and if you plan on wearing elite socks. The general consensus on this forum is go .5 size up from your TTS. I tested it myself. I wear 11 in the EM lows which are my tts and tried on 11.5 in moonwalkers elite low with elite socks and they felt perfect. Hope this helps.

This. Although a lot of people seem to have done a 180, it happens every time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, does anyone feel like the rubber on the outsole for the Beethovens feels a little more durable? I thought it did so I compared it to my Bruce Lee EM's and the traction on the EM's definitely feels a little bit more pliable. Granted, I've worn my Bruce Lee's a couple of times so they might be a little broken in, but I remember feeling their traction right out of the box and feeling that the rubber was super soft. I wouldn't say these Beethovens are XDR level durable but it's definitely nice to have a shoe that will last a little longer. I don't even want to wear my Bruce Lee pair out casually on the street for that reason.
...or maybe i'm just buggin out and just looking for more reasons to love this shoe lmao. i only wish it came with an extra set of black laces.

Dam, this really SUCKS to hear. I know I have to Size Up to a sz.12 in Kobe's, but I didn't have any Issues with Toe Rubbing in my Kobe 8's. Even with the one pair of 11.5's I have (the only pair I hoop in), never had that issue.
In you guys opinion... Are the Kobe 9 FK Lows STIFFER than the Kobe 8's?
I know it's not complete FK and has a gang of underlay, so I'm curious...
