[slipac2]

Good find. And have you bought from them before?

I copped a pair. I also got my bhm Xi from the previously

Will sz11 fit me if I'm a sz11-11.5

please i need to know

 

[MVP]

No go with a 13.

 

[glassankles]

i can wear sz11 and 1sz1.5 in the regular kobe 8s

but the sz11 of the elite kobe 8s were too tight for me

 

[707sneakerhead]

please i need to know

I'd go 11.5....

please i need to know

If you don't have a problem with your shoes running a bit long, then an 11.5 will be fine. If you don't mind breaking in the shoes for a bit, the 11 will be fine. These Kobes are much more forgiving than the past few models.

Anyone see that fake video up on YouTube about the multi coloured XIs haha [emoji]128514[/emoji]

 

[lakerben]

Did anyone cop these limited commemorative jerseys?

Any thoughts?

I'm considering copping.

Anyone know where I can pickup the lakers/kobe huarache, wanna cop my first huarache and what a better way to do it than get a game worn colourway for like $60 in purp and gold.

BTW...someone up top mentioned using clear-coat angelus to protect the gold numbers.  I've used that in the past to preserve custom speckles on sneakers I modified, and it does work.  BUT...be aware.  Even the matte clear-coat angelus dries up with a gloss.  Not nearly as glossy as 'gloss' clear coat, but still unnaturally glossy if that part of the sneaker is not glossy on a deadstock pair.  It's kinda noticeable.

What you mean about the angelus?

I doubt the clearcoat would be a great fix seen how easy its coming off. It would work best for the pulltab because its small and not much wear. Id do like 5ish coats so if it does get scuffed maybe the date doesnt come off just clearcoat does. The tongue though youd have to do the whole thing to look right and would probably detoriate quickly. I honestly think nike made these to sit in shelves as a commerative piece. Knowing how easy it comes off i wouldnt wear em, still want a pair though.

Kobe 10 christmas for 220 shipped. Good deal or nah?

Like others said go to outlets and maybe stock locate most outlets had these in large amounts a couple weeks ago.

If you don't have a problem with your shoes running a bit long, then an 11.5 will be fine. If you don't mind breaking in the shoes for a bit, the 11 will be fine. These Kobes are much more forgiving than the past few models.

Half sizes are supposed to be the same length as normal size but width of the next size up.

 

[truth2truth]

Thank you. where did you see it for $120?
Saw an outlet price for $139

I didn't see the actual box because they weren't my size. The rep there told me. I could be wrong about the 120 could be 140. But yeah either way it's a good deal with 20% off.

Paid $1K for my FTB 11s and I have no regrets on paying that price at all. I was at the game last Wed and honestly I couldn't be more happier now that I own these shoes. I still have my 2 deadstock pairs of BS ZK5 that I got for retail back in 2010. Having attended both Game 7 and Kobes last game, I couldn't be more happier having these in my collection. If prices drop on the FTB which I think they will, I'll try and add another one

Don't think I've ever heard that.

Don't think I've ever heard that.

I wasn't even going to say anything

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about shoe sizes to dispute it....

That's because it's not right

Did anyone else notice that Nike used wrong pictures for the mamba day shirts ?
There was supposedly two different versions of them. A FTL and a Nike version.
Here's what came in today View media item 2000215

[imjpm23]

Anybody know where I can find the mamba day hat the guys were wearing at 7:11?

Been looking forever online can't find them anywhere

Neeeeed them too!

 

[ricanmamba]

In a few years when he gets in I'm betting Nike releases hall of fame gold and black for every kobe sneaker.
And HAll of FAME pack will be even tougher to get then ftb pack.

 

[ricanmamba]

Id bet money a couple guys in this thread spent they're girls engagement ring money fund on ftb 11s
"Oh honey I gotta deal on these. ... only $98.00 "

 

[kanyeezy411]

Are the outsoles actually black or clear? I thought it was solid black but from some of these recent pics it seems they're actually clear?

they are not solid black
