The Official Kobe X iD thread

I hear you man. I actually like the home id's i made more than just about any other pair of Kobe's I own and i really really dont want to send them back but on the same token i wont keep a pair that doesnt really fit. Im considering going a full size up but i think i already know the result of that.

I've worn a size 11.5 in every other kobe before this one except for the Kobe 1s. I went up to a size 12 in the Kobe X elite and they feel great. For whatever reason the flyknit is a lot more snug on this model; even more than the 9 elite lows.
 
My version of AirMags came in.

Def happy with them.

4 of 5 pairs of iD came in and the same story.. all glue stained and some other imperfections.. dents, dirt stains, weird shape, etc.. you name it and one shoe of my pairs will have it.. I dunno if remakes are even worth it so I think Kobe X iD is a bust for me.. The grey upper is the best looking and Chaos pair is really nice also.. still waiting for the black pair but I'm sure it'll be the same story.. Sorry guys had to vent... :frown:
 
Like a few other people have said: wolf grey upper is really nice. Mine looks dope with a black check, black liner & gum sole. The sharkteeth...just aren't doing it for me. The clear sole looks blue on the rendering, but it matches the midsole (a cloudy clear) on mine and doesn't look clean. The flyknit upper looks cheap, last years flyknit looked complex and almost luxurious. Gonna go swap them for something at Niketown ASAP. I would defiantly recommend going with GITD/solid sole over the clear translucent. Just doesn't look right from a style/design standpoint.
*in retrospect and after rocking my gray pair which looked super clean with jeans, the toung and laces sat just right and they were one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever wore. I took them to Niketown Seattle, which I had no idea, Jordan brand hooked tthem up with some past releases they messed due to the remodel. They had a Jordan 6 infrared, a classic to me and in a size 13.5. NOTHING ever goes this good for me, plus they keep the discount on the new sneaks as well. So can't ask for more than that from Nike customer service. I do think the high price of the shoe is because of future returns, but they kinda didn't go 100 on these and if they drop the MC, it will be crazy money. Great day

Anyone here have a pair with an alligator swoosh/tongue ? Debating on making one with the all black solid flyknit but I'm scared it won't turn out true to color

What do you mean by weird shape?

Could it be the shoe paper causing it? If so just wear them and they will mold to your feet.

Same issues with my pair. Had the red stuff on the white FK. The black medial side was indented. Looked like they used too much glue and it could be seen through the sole. Needless to say they went back to the Glendale Tanger outlet, S/O Louis for the hospitality up there. Oh and the back tab was so crooked I just couldn't take it. I ended up with a 20% code so I'll save it for MC but damn if they come with the same issues I'll be upset.
 
Lmao this guy with his "what the" shoes. He went from "last pic before i return them", to selling the excess two shoes on IG for $350..... lmfao i can't get enough of this. The fact that he's just disappeared now is hilarious.
 
Been out of the loop on Kobes for a while...would like to know if there is any actual conformation that an MC ID is actually going to be available for the X?
 
Two pairs coming in today, can't wait.
1) Black and Red Asymmetrical, black check and black everything else
2) Grey upper, purple midsole and sole, silver check, purple liner and black tongue.

Pics will go up on arrival. Excuse me for acting like a teenage girl waiting on a package after online binge-shopping, but I am excited.

Looks nice at first sight. Are you satisfied with the intense of the glow green upper?

Can you upload some pics in natural lighting? I would appreciate it. Because I planned to make a glow green iD, but the last pics of the glow green upper made me change my mind pretty much
