wearing ankle braces all the time only weakens your ankles making you more susceptible to ankle sprains

^this. I have the Speedwrap and I only wear it if I've tweaked my ankle very slightly or if I'm feeling weakness in that ankle. But no means does it replace a brace used for rehab like the ASO or McDavid braces. So the Speedwrap is basically one of those neoprene sleeves with a stiff piece of plastic (or rubber it feels like) and it's more for you to have awareness of strain you're putting on your ankle, which is what the Kobe 9 Elite highs are trying to provide with its "proprioceptive collar"
That being said, I've had instances when playing with the brace on, and it gives enough support for me to learn whether to take the stress off the ankle or even sometimes "break my own ankles" and learn to fall to save my ankles. I know some people will laugh, but i'd rather be playing than hobbling around for 2 weeks.

speed wrap = minimal support but better than nothing. more flexibility.
ASO ankle brace = more support. less flexibility
If you have a week ankle or coming off an injury etc, get the aso or mcdavid brace. When you are 100%, use the speed wrap.
agree with the above post that D Rose most likely has his ankles taped underneath his speed wraps.

D rose said he doesn't like how it feels getting ankles taped that's why he wears the speed wraps

He kinda sheds some light on the Ankle Issue, with the best part of the 5's being their Ankle Support, in this Video:
Btw... the 2:15 to 2:30 Mark, where he brings the shoe up to the Camera... I'm SOLD.
That Red Underlay is just gleaming through that Perforated Upper! BEAUTIFUL.

I'd be all over that if it was the black/red pair. $140, I can dig that.

good looks on that coupon code! I hope it stays active for a while so I can try them on instore to see what size i'll need. hopefully they're not super narrow like the 5s.

No idea on quality as it could be hit or miss with custom made shoes, if it's shoddy just use the free return. No free shipping sucks though so you better get one of the 15% codes when you sign up for a new account.

How are they gonna make these an overseas exclusive?? Beautiful.

So does that mean they're retailing the regular pairs for $140?

Yes it's confirmed they're $140. Really was expecting to be $160+ to be honest. Glad it isn't lol. Well it might increase with the 5.5 but that's not for awhile so we'll enjoy this for now.

Yeah it doesn't make sense a Lake Michigan inspired are China/Europe exclusives. But still early as they get them before the US so it could still release here. I'm not a fan of the colorway to it doesn't bother me if they don't release here
