I want this to happen. Maybe not as high as the Kobe but a high top with flyknit would be dope. Im warming up to the shoe and really like that last pic posted but I need some better colorways.

I wish nikeid did the configurator like they used to before the shoes were available to order. I truely think this shoe on id could be great if they dont limit the options like it seems they have lately with newer ids. @Jayzrdead's shops show that the shoe has great potential that is yet to be seen in real pics

Maybe I'm tripping but these look really nice. The new Air Maxes aren't bad looking and usually sigs look like other shoes from that year. Air Raids, Jordan 8s anyone? An the price isn't a bad thing really. We will all eat at the discount table gloriously.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to say anything in case there was something I was missing. Not sure what they are talking about

these pics are just getting better and better
and yeah, im not sure what these people are talking about when they say the rendering looks nothing like the final concept. maybe because the "fang" on the heel looks a little thinner/narrower in the drawing?

Im not even gonna argue this.
Put it this way, Nike threw the sketch on the site as a traser. Nothing more needs to be said.

The Elite could be the pair he spoke of. These don't look FK to me nor do they go up the leg. Maybe KD will have his own version of Kobes Elite as stated by others.

People really upset that a finished shoe doesn't look like a conceptual drawing meant as a teaser?

Really gonna expect the drawing and the actual product to be the exact same thing?!?!
blastercombo
finds things to argue about with the KD line every year(pretty much every shoe that cost more than $100 lol). Guess what bro, it's gonna be the same ish for the term of his contract and every sig shoe. It's the era of lightweight cheap looking/feeling shoes.

Ya I'm sure their will be a different version, these actually us a flyweave material, similar material but constructed differently. Wouldn't be surprised if the material feels more like the Jordan XX9 upper but of course won't know until we all have a pair in hand.

Who's upset? It's just an easy comparison that they don't look the same and that the actual shoe looks worse.

The outsole looks very similar to that of the Jordan XX9. I believe the traction on this kick will be excellent.

I have yet to see Blaster ever buy a shoe.
For someone that hates all new shoes, Retros, etc. He spends a lot of time on this website.

Like the look of the 8.
Hope KD returns healthy this year. League wasn't the same without him.
