These look great.
hey man i wuda assumed the same thing had i not show up to a gym where he was and watched him play

he plays no d and jacks up 3s never heard of a mid range

also hes a set shooter lol ( and no he is not like steph when it comes to creating space)

I have to agree, never understood reviews by non basketball players. I prefer Kick Genius and Foamer Simpson personally. They let you know what they personally like to play in based on their styles, size, and past preference. NIghtwing just hits you with general reviews . Lmao that dude plays no d and spots up, hows he testing that traction :smh:

Hearing the UA Curry bottoms out quicker than Lunar so there does your go to UA theory. Kobe 9 was trash too unless your at least lighter than 180 and don't mind your heel to toe transition feels like a Lugz boot and don't mind heel spurs from the lack of impact protection. Or maybe theres no impact when your wearing these with jeans to a pep rally.. But hey thats me


:lol: I remember the vid Kickgenius posted when they got to visit MJs house for the XX9s and they said it was an eye opener and don't be fooled by these "testers" after seeing them play. One of the funniest part of the vid.





Haven't seen this before :lol: :x
 
These Blue Lagoons look ******* great to me. I'm glad the hypebeasts aren't fiending over them.
Yep. I like for them to sit. Get'em on discount later down the road. Also allows me to go for other shoes I want and need to get immediately.

And whether they blow or not, Go Bucs!
 
 
Blackouts looking smokin'.
What do you guys think of the Mentalities?  Are they truly a hybrid of the V & VIII? 
Was debating picking up the 4AMs with a $25 off code if they're as DOPE as they seem.
They look cheap in person
Yeah, Nike hit that model with the Glamour Shots. I saw them at HoH and I was underwhelmed. Looked ehhh to me. Good $50-$65 shoe ... maybe
 
 
So the Blue Lagoon pair is the elite? Meaning there will be a cheaper version?
I don't think so.  I think that tweet had a typo or added "elite" in there unintentionally

I've seen just Kobe X on the boxes in pics for the blues and ASGs

The labels should be correct then and the tweet is a typo. So the $20 hike is a fact for the lows. At least we get heel zoom. Wonder if there will be any more cushion upgrade for the elite. Or will it just be the upper that changes like the 9

Yep, heel zoom at least, but I'm a little disappointed that it's forefoot lunar.  If it was a forefoot zoom or a foam that lasted a little bit longer (I'm thinking like podulon used in the cp3 series which is underrated imo), I'd be happier.

The new Kobe usually gets me but I gotta chill on these until I hear more and the price comes down.

def agree with you about the lunarlon durability. Probably won't be hooping in these unless certain colorways go for a deep discount. Too many other great options right now than to spend $180 on forefoot lunarlon. I can see these being great initially. If I was in the league and can wear a new pair every game, I wouldn't mind

I love it... I dont know most of the guys in the vid but heard the name nightwing as some legit tester son is like 5'2 

You can tell who plays/played ball and the casual fan

That was a good laugh, thanks.

I always liked Foamer and his brother. It was awhile before I realized they were 6'7" and 6'8"
