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

I just don't get it...If you want to only wear your sneakers for playing ball, fine let that be you...I personally wear my sneakers for casual wear, mostly because I like the way they look and feel of course...but because I don't wear my shoes for ball like some of you, I'm not wearing my shoes correctly? Who cares! I don't care what anyone else is wearing their shoes for, I just appreciate them the same as you.

As for reviewers and their "expert" opinion, I don't necessarily believe any of them to be experts...I consider them to simply be reviewers and as any reviewer(which a lot of us could be considered) everything is always in our opinion

He's trying to say that credibility is the main thing here. Anyone could give a review, but would it be any good? Would you want to watch it?

Exactly :lol:

It's like that dude who made the "watch my handles" thread making a review :lol:

View media item 1372342Are you watching these videos for basketball tips or a review of the shoe? Someone can be terrible at multiplayer but still give a review of the game.

Man I go 60+ and 5 or less deaths consistently. I love COD MP but know friends who don't. It's no coincidence they go negative K/D consistently. Just saying. Take every review with a grain of salt. Shoes, games ect.

Paladin spinning up!!! Ha ha ha

Repped. One of my all time favorite sneaker marketing campaigns.

Don't have it for PS4 but I do for xbox one gamertag is STRONG316! I just feel really confident your K/D isn't 10.0-12.0! That would be consistently but if it is..... you should either go pro or quit playing so much!

I appreciate the shoutout homie! I just try to give people a good idea of what they are buying or looking to buy after spending significant time on the court. Glad some people find it useful!
 
I assume the Xs have that flyweave a la the TW 2015s? Don't know what that will do but man these designs blow, so bland and all one color?

Kobe 17 assists-esque pass!

Call of Duty is trash.

...so how bout them Kobes?

Agreed.... kobes are nice or trash depending on who you ask!  But the price is too high which seems to be the opinion across the board! Midsole has a condom on it and the upper looks like the same material as the Kyrie 1.  Half of NT can't ball and some shoe reviewers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if their life depending on it! Think that sums it up! Your welcome!

I play fighting games competitively. Evo and all that. My CR doesn't reflect only my play. Best I can do is this.

Back to the KOBES though before folks have a meltdown.
 
Sorry but anyone who shoots as bad as Nightwing and has the nerve to just keep shooting even though he sux , I can't put any credence in their review. Dude is straight gsrbage.
 
That doesn't stop him from breaking down how the shoe is made, what it's supposed to do, and whether it does it well or not. It's not like he's reviewing dudes' shooting mechanics.

He's reviewing how the shoe performs when he's running, stopping, cutting, putting force on the shoe, changing directions like everyone else.

Most of the guys designing these shoes probably can't shoot either.

Flyweaves not bad, isn't it? Same that is used on the XX9s?

The kobe10 doesn't have flyweaves. They're more like the kyrie1 mesh fuse upper. Flyweaves doesn't need those fuse you see at the toe cap at all.

First off, big companies wear test the hell out of shoes with separate people and many times the athletes themselves - so the designer comment is a moot point since many go back to the drawing board when issues arise. That's why it was so perplexing as to why the LBJ 11s were such a failure in terms of him never wearing them.

Also, the point is not how someone shoots in the shoes. I agree, to a certain extent, that his info can be useful, but I want someone who wears the hell outta the shoe MORE THAN ME so I know what to expect over a long period of time. If he's just doing the casual pickup game here and there and plays like he did in that video, but when writing a review talks about "hard cuts" and "impact protection," I'm going to now take his reviews with a grain of salt.

I don't want to derail this thread more than what has been going on as of late, but why that's so hard to understand I am unsure so I thought I'd explain.
