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

[spoonmanofthehour]

personally, I think those EXTs need a swoosh on the side... just doesn't look right...
im probably the only one who thinks this...

No, I'm with u on this. The black mids looked good without the swoosh on the side, but the high's look terrible without the swoosh.

 

[the red model]

I dunno...I think the fake flyknit 9s are comfy. I haven't tried balling in them yet but they can't be that much worse than the EMs.

 

[mastralf]

 
Fuse or glue - it really doesn't matter. The "flyknit" used on the 9s is purely for aesthetic purposes and has none of the positive qualities that a Flyknit Runner, Trainer, etc. has. To compare these Kobes to a true flyknit shoe is a joke.

And as far as the aesthetics of the FK Kobe 9s go, Nike brutally failed with that on the majority of the releases.

These shoes are overrated and overpriced - while the EMs don't have nearly as many attractive color ways as the Kobe 8s had, they're far and away a better shoe for on court use vs. the "flyknit" 9s.

I agree with some of this. However, I would say that Nike Brutally failed with the EM's aesthetically. Your right though the EM's are great performers. The Flyknits have aesthetically been amazing with a few let downs but not many (most let downs are coming up imo lol).

All in all in strictly performance the EMs are underrated and FK has been overrated (I still love them though).

im losing my patience to whoever the Nike CW designer with Kobe 9s,,,his/her COLOR combination are totally hideous,,Nike needs to look at this thread sometime and find out what the consumer wants

They should put the highs on nikeid as well, even if it's just a quick strike.

Not feeling either of the upcoming EXTs, especially being priced at $275 :x . Man, the Elites have really hit a wall this month. All horrible.

You're lucky. Who would've thought there would only be three CWs of the Lows

Glad I made the turn awhile back and scooped mine up for a little over retail.

 

[maino956]

Beethovens or moonwalkers?

I'm gonna have both eventually but which one should I get first?

 

[909mikey]

Does anyone have the footlocker and champs sku for the laser crimson EM's? Would appreciate it.

 

[eyedea]

Gotta give some love to the EMs. I know the FKs get most of the love her but I'm all about both.

Beethoven more wearable imo. Beethoven will probably continue to appreciate, and Moonwalker will continue to not appreciate much.

Get the beetovens

 

[ricanmamba]

are you saying the thrillers are the only elite low you like?

 

[kimterran]

I have the thrillers and beethoven, I wanna get the moonwalkers and a black elite low id but my girl is gonna kill me if she sees me with another new shoe lol

 

[blacklion23]

Get the beetovens

Get the Moonwalkers. They're inspired by Michael Jackson. He made Thriller..........Thriller.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

...but my girl is gonna kill me if she sees me with another new shoe lol

Be a man...MAN!

This.

Beethovens first, then go after Moonwalkers.

 

[airballllllllll]

I Just wish that Nike would look up at the poll on top of this webpage for once and see that the Beethoven's and MPs are the most liked CWs for a reason... Multicolor FK (especially HTM style) is loved by many people (Hence the love for the MPs) and the Beethoven's are loved for their simplicity... If Nike would simply take note of these things, produce more CWs based on consumer likes/demand, the CWs could be so much better

 

[werdudu]

 
Damn Im torn of these black joints. The 6 scales and faux snakeskin on the ankles look great. The chrome doesnt even look that bad, probably still hit em wit the carbon fiber sticker tho.

But then theres the unfinished back 

Definitely looking like an *** crack

can't wait

For Eastbay/FootLocker/FootAction/ChampsSports, from the Nike code, drop the leading digit and the hyphen for the SKU

Laser Crimson

Nike = 646701-001 [Model-Colorway]

Eastbay/FL/FA/CS= 46701001

Not available on Footlocker.com, however I found them discounted for $143.99 on FA and CS
Footaction
10.5,11,13
Champs Sports
8,11,11.5

Footlocker Inc is strange. The inventory is not available across all platforms. Zero uniformity. Super weird for a $5.62B company.

Anywho, ordered some Laser Crimson's.
Free shipping to home and size I wanted.

Hope this helps.
