[Kobekobe]

A lot of you have both the X and xi lows.
I plan to ball in one of them.

Which one is recommended for balling in?

11 >>>>>> 10

especially with the full zoom.

Kobe XI "BEETHOVEN" with XDR Outdoor                      

 

[Black Lotus]

 
That's my pic 

 they look better in person, gum bottoms aren't THAT dark but shadows make them appear like that. Of course Nike is quite misleading calling this 'white' Flyknit when it's not 

 still happy how they came out though. 

cool, im basing my opinon off of other peoples shots too not just yours

True all white upper would've killed these. 

 

[willydimes]

Those pictures of the sunsets seem to look like they are going to end up crappy.  Is it even worth going for ? Tempted by those and the derozan cw.

 

[jgd7971]

Derozan cw is nice

 

[kenichiwa]

Ordered these last week, kinda wish i got a solid upper.

Day/night color shift option for the heel and tongue option are sold out. Glad I got my order in.

Luckily I still had a pair in cart with the options, I checked out. If I don't like I figured I can always return. This is what I went with except I put white specks on outsole to give it a galaxy vibe.

Minus specs with team red flywire 

 

[jgd7971]

Yeah I'd drop the specs too, looks good other than that

 

[Kobekobe]

I went with silver specs on my pair and it looks really good on the white sole.

 

[Mambalorian]

Torn on getting the day or night shift option. I like both a lot

@al3x89   can you give a little rundown on the full zoom insert?  I have played in full zoom before and would imagine you sacrifice a little court feel/flexibility, but very curious how it compares in the XI to past Kobes.

 

[superstarlord]

oooo yeah

 

[thapointguy]

Yeah I saw yours. It looks subtly done unlike how the rendering depicts. The crazy speckle guy could come back from Chinese New Year celebration though

Not sure I want to spend money on these yet let along the price on iDs.

I love it. I don't notice too much of a difference in terms of flexibility. The sole is already thin so the court feel is there but it's extra springy. I wanna say I feel less fatigue but there are too many factors for that for me to be certain.

If I order anymore IDs, full zoom is a must personally.

What's more comfortable, cushioned lunarlon or precision heel zoom?
