[lewi1913]

That camo midsole/sole kills it for me, its so played at this point.

 

[tigo0240]

And I pulled out my army ninja suit (theyre just long johns) for the pic everybody been talking about the Jake the Snake Robert's look

You need the boa constrictor around your shoulders and your foot on a guy's neck for the full effect

 

[maxsand]

And by the way, the ONLY reason there are ANY sleeved jerseys in the NBA is that they want people to buy jerseys to wear casually, since that is a dying fad.

There is no functional advantage, and most players hate them, Lebron being one of them.

I saw several of the sleeved jerseys at pro image yesterday on sale for $19.99, Durant, Kobe, rose, bron

[maxsand]

black Friday sale or clearance? $20 and I might need to change my mind on how I feel about them

 

[rl_wayne]

Glad to see he finally wore the Inspirations last night. Probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Elite high. Hoping the Showtimes show up on court too at some point.

Kobe  9 Elite 
‘Poker Ace’  (bright crimson/black-white)

On FTL AU's website for december 1st. NOT THE CHRISTMAS. I wonder if thats what we're seeing in those pics, or if the Poker Ace's are the unseen pair.

I was under the impression that the "Strategy" were the supposed "poker ace" and the maroon pair are the Lower Merion. The red shoe we keep seeing is obviously the Christmas pair, it's hard to deny that. Nike isn't going to release a red EXT, a red Christmas high, AND another red high in one month.

How are the elite highs compare to the EM in terms of comfort? Because the EM hurt my feet after a while.

 

[the red model]

Dumb questiuon: what if the Christmas colorway isn't red at all; what if its green?

but Poker Ace (bright crimson/black-white) and Strategy (Sequoia/Rough Green/Hyper Crimson/Reflect Silver) don't match by color code, according to AU FTL the ext is Challenge red/Challenge red and we've yet to see the color code of the Christmas, at the same time Nike release calendar shows only this for kobe releases both on the 13th and at the moment I've found no US calendar with anything else on it for kobe:
[h3]Kobe 9[/h3]
Deep Garnet/Metallic Gold-Hyper Crimson-Cave Purple

$175 | 646701-678
[h3]Kobe IX High KRM EXT[/h3]
Black/Black

$275 | 717593-001

nike is crazy enough to drop 3 red shoes in one month it's just highly unlike but at this time we just don't have enough information

That's what I thought but others seemed to disagree I think that many reds is a damn shame! More exts is cool if you are original but stylish as well and I haven't seen much originality on the line since early in the game. Its sad to be honest!

I found that my elite highs slightly stretched over time. I went TTS and now they still fit great, just not as tight as new.

 

[tigo0240]

All my size 14 fit about the same. The EMs obviously wrap around the foot more because of the material. The Highs have some dead space in the toe (which feels good to me) and the Lows fit snug and lose the dead space.


I personally find the Highs to be the most comfortable.

They aren't the Strategy pair, 2 different product codes. I can see the inspiration being a red poker chip and green poker table.

 

[tigo0240]

ahh...who knows. It's a moot point for me because I just want to see some more Elite lows before they end this model. That and the multi-color/Chlorine blue Highs

 

[redrum3281]

Nike is a mess with Dec Kobe releases, screw it just show me pics of the ext on the 13th

 

[ootherocoo]

In honor of Kobe's on court wear.
