Kobe X lows better than the IX. Kobe line failed when they trynna implement shin guards, uggs into them. The CW and gimmik got silly. IMO lows over all. Nike basically saying Kobe lost a step and needs all that preemptive shoe mod.

I dont think they're saying he lost a step, just when you get to mid- late 30's you need that extra support lol
 
Guys, trying to get the curials for my wife, just want to check on the size to get. If shes a sz 9 on air max, what mens sz will be a good fit for her TIA.

To each their own

But that pink toebox kills it for me, If they made the toebox and medial side like the lateral side with the black/pink underlay, these would've been instacopped

I feel like people are only buying them for the name itself. I remember the hype for those disgusting mambacurial Kobe 8's. Just cause it has "mambacurial" name attached to it, people will go crazy even if they were poop brown.

Disgusting or not, at least the 8s were true to the Mercurials. I don't see anything in the 10s except the toebox swoosh.

I was in back when they were being called the "Think Pink's" and "Hitman Hart's" so not everyone cares about "Mambacurial."  

Everyone knows Kobe and his love for soccer, so many people just loved the way Nike fused the two into an actual Kobe shoe.  Kobe has had several soccer influenced colorways over the years, not just mambacurials.    

These are looking like a major GR, save the "hype beast" stereotyping for something more limited.

LOL! Nah son... it's just that Not Everyone has the SAME Opinion as you. One man's disgusting is another person's Grail.

MC 8's will forever be one of the Coldest Sneakers Ever. Word to my Avi...

Overcome came in today after ordering from jimmy jazz early yesterday morning. I've noticed that theres a glitch on their site that allows you to choose shoprunner 2 day shipping without actually signing into an account on the last final screen where you're checking out (at least when paying with paypal)

any way, these things are :smokin in person

The leather on the tounge and back heel are very nice for a nike product

and the material themselves is much better than on the normal X lows, its much smoother than what my fundamentals

It's like that Choas or Kaos fiasco that everyone always :pimp: 's at.

Shoe is straight dookie. It had to be a QS or something for people to actually tell me it's a cool shoe. Worst shoe in America G

OG Chaos is fire. The constant parade of Chaos colored ID Kobes since are weak to me and beyond played out. No offense to any owners, just my personal opinion.
