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

[frankw]

I don't know how to read Chinese, but there was this leak of tech info from earlier in the thread that briefly mentioned in English something about 180 degree zoom for the Xs at the bottom of the description. Not sure how accurate this will be, but I'd definitely love a return to zoom air.

yes, that's what it said. lunarlon for the forefoot has the flex grove for flexibility according to 2) and 180 zoom bag for the heel according to 4). can't really read the other line because they were cut off. 

cw (i'm just literarly translating the exact words and from what i can find using search with matching color, but not sure about the exact color)

lake blue/ black-steam green 2/7

turbo green/varsity red- varsity red - volt yellow 2/28

black/black - purple - volt 3/7

1400yuan = $200 usd i believe. didn't check the exchange rate.

much love brotherman! lol

agreed. Love these shoes.  Everyone has their own tastes i guess.

I am not really a fan of the details or the beethovens but looks like everyone on here is crazy about them.

These are better than the lows

Why release a colorway so similar?

Nike is dropping the ball with colorways

how can you tell? jw

 

[gtmorgan23]

because he's got the eye of the tiger. J/K

actually curious how you can tell too.

no disrespect to jw, but i dont believe in online "legit checking" this is just bs imo. 

used to have a friend who was into the replica business, and this was a long time ago 07/08, the only way you can tell the difference from a really good class A replicas and authentic is to compare them side by side or wear them! replicas would always feel stiff as ****, they can only copy the looks of the shoe but not the functionality. but like i said this is a long time a go i bet replicas have improved now too.

how can you tell? jw

Leather is too shiny and tongue label looks slightly off.

 

[shaboy]

Anyone know on the Brave Blues whether they are coming with extra laces? Seen a couple IG posts with white-ish laces which appear to be the same style.

 

[gtmorgan23]

have you tried calling a local FTL? they could tell you really quick if they have extra laces.

Just out of curiosity: ever wonder why the kobe 9 EM lows more expensive than the KD 7? If you think about it, the KD have more expensive materials like hyperposite and zoom. Just wondering whats your take on it. Maybe just because on the signature athlete?
