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

[urn0tlike]

Those black tbs are nice, but not worth retail.

 

[vcobra24]

Only highs I got are the showtimes and I personally think they are in the top 5 high coolorways......really love the flyknit color distribution and the volt threads were a nice touch....I also love 3m lol hate I missed out on asgs tho...they are the best colorway imo

 

[rl_wayne]

Black TBs are pretty nice. I'd cop if they went on discount.

 

[tigo0240]

black/crimson/cement > black TB

 

[bigslim773]

black/crimson/cement >>>>>>>> black TB

FIXED.

QFT!

 

[tr23]

Are they charging an extra $10 for the TB like they usually do for some stupid reason?

The Print on the TB's >>> TB's

Some sizes restocked: $194.99 shipped: http://www.23penny.com/product/kobe-ix-9-elite-victory

Im being tempted. Still a lot of money though 

Do you guys think these will ever get much cheaper?

Not sure.

Either Nike is intentionally holding back stock, unlike with the lebrons, to generate hype. Or they actually aren't making large quantities of these.

Regardless, any "restock" or "discount" we've seen on the highs haven't been less than 180ish. Even outlet pricing is typically 200. So I doubt we'll see the price dip much lower.

Unrelated: I follow you on IG, whattup

Whatup man! Awesome kobe, flyknit collection btw.

and thx for the 2 cents.  Im guessing you're right. 195 total is cheaper than what these will be on discount at fnl, ftp, etc.

They would have to make one hell of an EM to get me to buy another pair.

I'm good on highs. Very VERY curious to see the "Chlorine Blue/Multi-color" pair though

But please give us an awesome elite Low before this model limps to the finish line.

Any info for Release Date?

Im like 200 pages behind in this thread ( I apologize, im trying catch up, so hopefully this hasn't been asked 10k times)

Also, is it going to be a high? Or FK low? or Em?

where is this info coming from?

That sneakerrevolution website?

if so, can I get a link?

Thanks, will rep

 

[jm1ke]

Yea those black and silver TBs are nice. What's the story behind the TB name?

 

[aron710]

I've always thought TB meant "Team Basketball" which makes sense IMO.

Anybody want to clarify what Team Bank means?

It's supposedly an Elite High that's coming out in December or January. I don't know the source.

They're making bank with your money cause people are still copping those basic colorways

Pretty sure the reply with "team bank" was satirical in meaning.

No, that's actually what it stands for.

"...since the tags on the shoes include “Elite TB” where the “TB” stands for Team Bank and is often seen on special colorways of shoes for collegiate or elite high school teams."

 

[Kobekobe]

Tb surfaced on eBay in the past. Hoping I can get the black pair and the red pair

those went quick on the site, green still available for a few days until mom and pop store chops me off.

Yeah, team bank's a real term that's been around for years. I honestly don't know why they've been called that instead of something like "team basketball", but I guess it's just a sneaker term kinda like "deadstock" instead saying new/unworn for example.

Either way, they're just meant to be simple colorways that could be matched with team uniforms.
