[vrai1]

photo of finished product before the samples? those have gotta be Venomenons.

keeping my fingers crossed the X's are all lows. a proper black/del sol colorway would make me even happier, but i'm not holding my breath.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Please be hi-tops like the Elite IX's

Please No

 

[jays25]

I sure hope it's a low.

Yes, then we can finally get things back on track. Elite lX's are ugly as sin.

 

[eltouha]

180 zoom?

i assume that means the same as the kd7.

 

[debso]

dunno, like he hi's...hopefully we still get some.

 

[brainsalad]

Wouldn't be surprised if this is a low top. But I'd be pleased if it's a mid top. That's just me.

 

[oreomamba21]

Enough with the Boots. Get back to the lows.

 

[fenrir7]

No more boxing shoes please. Im not a 6'6" dude who has long legs so boxing shoes look terrible for most people

 

[eds824]

It's coming

 

[Kobekobe]

Enough with the Boots. Get back to the lows.

this..

Just came across THIS in the Kobe IX Thread...

Hyperfuse Upper, bruh? And a Visible Air Pocket?.... These sound like run-of-the-mill KD's.

You can't go from a Classic like the Kobe 8 w/ Engineered Mesh and a polarizing sneaker like the Kobe 9 w/ Flyknit... just to go back to using Hyperfuse.

From the description these sound TURRIBLE, but I hope I'm Wrong. It's a good thing there will be official pics so I don't have to judge simply by the written attributes.

Who knows... could end up being the Dopest! 

 

[currensy]

Bruh we got more than half a year left, calm it.

 

[urn0tlike]

Hopefully no gimmicky **** this time. Aka flyknit overlay.

LOL, I'm Calm, bruh. Bc I dropped a GIF, I'm not calm? Just voicing my opinion, man... 

I don't like how it sounds... but like I said, Who Knows?... It could be the Dopest of them all.

I slept during the Kobe V's a few yrs ago, so maybe these'll pick up where that Greatness left off...

yep.. hyperfuse is a big step backwards. I don't care if the X's design is out of the world. hyperfuse is a downgrade in terms of performance (for my feet at least).

marketing is powerful

lol.. not a fan of the kobe 9 elites too. wonder if the xx9 woven is going to do what the kobe 9's flyknit is suppose to do.

 

[blastercombo]

Hyperfuse? Is it 2009 again? Pass

 

[wrestlerj125]

Hyperfuse? Is it 2009 again? Pass

I doubt they would take a step backward, they've been trying to break new ground with these lines.

 

[solemaven]

Nike basketball should go on a lockout this year and just refresh themselves with new ideas for 2016.

 

[haydenhouser]

Excited for the X. I hope they make a full return to a low top sneaker.

I wasn't a fan of the IX aesthetically or otherwise. I think the idea was gimmicky, as many others are saying.

I want something in line with the V or 8, my two favorite models.

 

[airbubble]

Can't wait till these drop kobe has been consistently dropping the best shoes to hoop in since the 4s

 

[jumpman cbt2]

good, then we still have chance to see Kobe grace the Kobe 9 Elites and lows in the NBA season 2014/2015 before he switches
them to the Kobe X.
IMO, the Kobe IX are the best looking Kobes ever.

 

[jhawk23]

I really do hope these are Venomenon 5s. These are the best Venomenons though..I'd ball in these.
