[bigslim773]

Easters are still my favorite EM

STILL HAVENT WORN MINE YET

 

[ricanmamba]

The mango 9s are pretty dope. They have leafs on them very smooth fall cw.

 

[ricanmamba]

I wish bruce lee 9s had the red cut marks on them.

 

[tigo0240]

They're merely wannabes

 

[kimterran]

I hope Pacquiao and Kobe 9 make a collab before they move on to the 10 lol

 

[Larry Legend]

Who cares about the EMs?

 

[tr23]

I think the Crimson or cement em pair is very underated . Might pick them up down the road but have so many black and red kicks from the jordan line that makes me hesitate.

 

[sogood]

Who cares about the EMs?

Anyone who wants to wear one of the best performing basketball shoes available.

 

[bravelude]

nah. the boot thing is crazy. people just cant accept it. onlu care about the lows, unless everyone think they Centers

STILL HAVENT WORN MINE YET

Same here but they look good! I liked them alot and I didn't expect them to be the only EM's I would buy. I would have got the PI pair if they weren't so limited. Also I agree that the China's are nice but not 180$ nice. I could have got them for about 170 with a coupon but I passed.

I plan to use my easters for tennis. That volt matches tennis balls and the strings on my racket.

As for rating performance I really liked the 8  but yeah Lunar dies fast. Also the tongue annoyed me and they fixed that on the 9 em. The flexibility and the comfort level on those 9 elites is crazy though. Since traction is my top priority, I found the 9s beat the V's. I'm really excited for the X though even with how little we know, just because that 180 visible zoom is a step up in impact protection. I know most everybody seems to be sick of lunar.

Just got me thinking about using my wifes nail polish to make those Han scratches.

 

[alexody]

One of my complaints besides the wasted potential was the limited ness of certain color ways. I mean on the 8, the WTK, ASG, XMAS, MC and BHM were the only difficult releases to get out of 20+. Pair third of the 9s were limited, lol.

They were limited but if you wanted em you could get em, the same could be said about all the 8's that actually looked good

Yeah, not limited like the Prelude Pack. The nice thing about a lot of the 9 releases was they were available from a lot of "second choice" spots if you struck out on NDC or wherever. I picked up Chinas, Bruce Lees, and Beethovens from EURO sites.

And congratulations to the Victory for being the only elite high to sit with a FSR on NDC for this long.

the cement pair is such a clean shoe! Gotta be most underrated shoe among the 9s

 

[ricanmamba]

sounds to risky lol

 

[ricanmamba]

Has anybody tried to make the game of death cuts on the bruce Lee's? Would love to actually get an artist to do it for me.

That would be awesome

Who cares about the EMs?

I do, they're underrated af

I just wish the lining was actually red. Didn't like the fact that it was pink.. otherwise I woulda copped.

you should contact @Dc30  he does custom work on shoes

 

[ricanmamba]

the kobe 9 "gold" and "details" going for around $400 on ebay.... not willing to spend that...looks like i may never get them.

 

[kobeoverbron]

I still go back to the 4,5,6 and 8 when it comes to the best Kobe sig. Looks and performance go to the Kobe 5 and comfort overall goes to the 9EM and kobe 6.

 

[bowb4me]

The Kobe 5 IMO is the LeBron 5 of his line looks wise. There's nothing visually appealing about them.

 

[kobeoverbron]

Blasphemy! HAHA

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

The Kobe 5 IMO is the LeBron 5 of his line looks wise. There's nothing visually appealing about them.

I agree with this. I will say that the 5 is very comfortable tho. As far as visually, I like the 8 the best.

 

[bowb4me]

Don't get me wrong though, there are 5s I do like. Love the Bruce Lee.

 

[yotk13]

Kobe 5s are da pinnacle of da kobe line visually and performance wise
