Wore my Gumbos to work today since the Xs gave out on me yesterday and Ive had 3 people point out they're Kobes already, I wonder if people dont know the Xs are Kobes or they just dont care :lol: ...should be copping elevates in the coming weeks, I think they're my favorite elite X.

Those 2 CWs of the lows > Elevates IMO

No way man not only is the quality of the Elites way better than the lows how can you pick that dino hide upper over the Flyknit upper on the Elites? The only cw of the lows I would be willing to drop 180 on is the Easter only cause I like bright colors but still gonna hold out for disco since they aren't selling well.

Do you wear FK exclusively? I don't see how the quality is better. I have every pair of 10s minus the Elevates and HTMs and I have no issues. Unless you think because it's FK, that automatically it's better than everything else?

10s > 10 Elites this year but I expected the regular lows to get no love because the Elites and FK have become the "in" thing with Kobe.

That's the mentality of most people on here ever since the 9. look at how successful the 8 was without FK.. Then they give us FK and people refuse to buy anything else.

Don't get me wrong some FK Kobe's look great but so does the regular model.

100% truth, the materials really only make aesthetic differences and the lows have definitely gotten the better colorways but I just thing the elevates are gorgeous, definitely my favorite X thusfar even including those weak *** HTMs
Vinos are my favorite Lows, they got that Mk Reptile feel :smokin

I guess I should put more into my statement . They'll be used strictly for the gym never had a pair of flyknit sneakers or some cut that high either. Got a pair of kobe ix lows in em ( silk roads) which feel great. Also got the tdm 12's so I'm familiar with the mega fuse and a pair of lebron 11's (atomic orange) . Love the low cut of the kobe but elites intrigue me and the colorway isn't to bad .
 
Still surprised no one has gotten and/or posted any pics of the Elevates yet. Hopefully, I can get mine on Tuesday from NDC since it was a Friday morning order.
