My theory is Nike pulled MC option to ensure HG and Beethoovens sell.
It's interesting how reps are saying they are unsure if they will come back with MC or they won't come back. I think it's a push for people to pull trigger on the other color options, once MC drops everyone buys those too.

Cash rules everything around Nike.
 
really not feeling any of the speckles on black midsoles. I made a pair with white speckles. That'll probably the return pair.
 
Lost hope on the MC... Honestly don't see it coming back and starting to feel totally fine with it (Jk in denial). Looks like I'm buying my Platinum inspired pair since I'm scared the other options will sell out and it's the only other option that looks good to me.

T_T Now the feels for the MC are back. At least I have an extra 20% just in case. And now I'm getting second thoughts on plats or a black version...

Interesting...wouldn't it be better for nike to wait on ID until after hg and beethoven then to maximize that benefit. I know Nike's do-Tha-right-thing compass is off, but it's not broken that they deliberately pull back something that is selling well to push another products only to eventually bring it back. Seems a bit much.

So far there is more weight to them not coming back from posts in the last few days so I don't think Nike employees are being cryptic.

Yeah I don't believe that's the reason. Their marketing headquarters can't be that dumb to release the ID, think that it's taking away customers from the moonwalkers and beethovens, and then pull away the MC option. Even then, the moonwalkers sold just fine in the midst of the ID.
 
Really simple design, but I'm happy with the way these turned out (I suck @ shoe pics btw, I know).  My MCs should be here next week.

Debating id'ing up a simple pair of black/dark gray kicks after being inspired by @WSUCoug85's pair.  The wolf gray swoosh, and dark gray laces in his pics look way better in reality than how they do on the Nike iD site.  

Can't wait to see how the wolf gray outsoles and swooshes turn out on the MC iDs.  I played it safe w/ a white swoosh and outsole on the pair I ordered.

did anyone do black fk with grey outsole?  hard to tell in some of these pics.  

I'll have to order that once I get my MC.  I ordered the gold swoosh and everything else white. I get the feeling i'm not gonna like it.  I think i'm the only one who feels like the MC's that have been posted are just too loud, but then again i'm older.  Guess i'll find out Tuesday.

Anyone else's ID get shipped from Vietnam?

I feel the same about some of the MCs being too loud. Way too much volt is why I'm pulling the trigger on greys instead of waiting for the MCs which are most likely not coming back.

Flyknit* is the best thing to happen to the Kobe line since the Introduction of the Kobe IV Low. (imo)

*Disclaimer: Real flyknit was not used in the production of Kobe 9 Elite shoes. No flyknits were hurt with the use of hyperfuse in making the Kobe 9 Elites.

probably been posted but is there pictures of the wolf grey swoosh and sole?
 
ID's came in today.  I was already thinking about sending them back because of sizing but they turned out ok.  I have the MP's in a sz9.5 but they feel like 10's so I ordered the ID's in a 9 to compensate for how big they run.  I went to NikeSF to try on the HG's in a sz9.5 for reference  and they were snug but my ID's arent too bad.  A lil pressure on the pinky toes but Im sure the flyknit will break in and for $154 I can't complain.  Definitely happy with my pairs

Homie at the factory went a lil ham with the speckles but Im ok with it.

Wish I would have gotten speckles on this pair too
 
ALRIGHT GUYZ!...FUN QUESTIONS 4YA 2KILL SUM TIME....

1. If the KOBE 9 "WTK" came out right now and if it had "Flynit low" on the left shoe and "EM low" on the right shoe 2gether as 1 pair would you buy em?....and lets say there EXTREMELY LIMITED with all the HYPE?.....lol

2. If the KOBE 9 "WTK" came out with Flynit "HIGH" on the left shoe and Flynit Low on the right shoe 2gether as 1 pair would ya buy em? ...and lets say there EXTREMELY LIMITED with all the HYPE?..lol..i know this would prob (most likely never happen obviosly) but...

ALSO...pretend that the "Colorway" is the best colorway youve ever seen

This is actually really tough. Orginally I was going #2 but just think about how much of a clown you would look like with that extra high and a low

But then i'm not really a fan of EM but i would still have to go #1
 
tongues are ridiculously large on these.  I don't remember noticing it as much on the EM lows.  but the pics make them look exaggeratedly large.
 
I have a question regarding the GITD materials. Does it come in looking 'off white' until it sees UV lights, or is it pure white? Please advise.
