Kobe X Official Thread Elite Series ‘Elite Team’ April 18th, ‘Elevate’ May 15th, ‘Rose Gold’ June 5

So excited to try these on the court
Agreed, looks like it will play extremely well! Just hope there is not a whole lot of give in the sole but just the right amount to cushion these old knees. The difference between the VII and VIII was great, the difference VIII and IX even better (IMO), so hoping we see the same trend here. LOOKS PROMISING!!!!
 
I like the shape/profile of the shoe and think they should play well from that aspect.  If the traction is sub-par, I'm probably out on these though... curious to see

"Nike Basketball @nikebasketball
Maximum traction and acceleration at every angle. Clutch from every spot. #KOBEX revealed 1.31"

Should be the same if not better than the 9s judging by this tweet. I'm just worried about the durability of the outsole.
 
I have been looking at them all day today and honestly I don't see the justified 180 price & I really wouldn't blame those who don't buy them at the price. Makes me wonder in fact we do get a flyknit low would we see a 200-225 price??

First time I haven't been excited for the new kobe since the 2K5 :/

I feel the opposite way, this is the first time that I have BEEN EXCITED for the new Kobe since the V (Although I liked the 6 for performance, not so much the aesthetics).

These look like performance monsters, and look fairly nice. I hated the 7 and 8, and didnt like the 9 for hooping.

Black outs, purple, laker colorway, allstars, and im out haha.

it's a marketing strategy, nike's just setting people up for kobe's last shoes, theyre saving the best for last. release a so-so shoes this year to lower people's expectation of the 11s....and then end the kobe line the following year with a bang!

I'm actually liking the look of the Xs...I get that they are definitely different and more simplistic than the IXs, but I think they will be extra comfy and that the other colorways will be impressive...Also this Blue Lagoon is growing on me:smokin
 
The Blue Lagoons and ASG will be mine!!!

It really sucks that Kobe's season is over, and I was gonna go see him play when he went to the Garden.  SMH, I hope he gets some type of help for a final run at a 6th ring...he can not go out like this!!!  Jeter didn't!!!
