yeah but the lebron X sat so high off of the ground for me and i was kinda scared of rolling my ankle if i came down funny. Hopefully it is springy and bouncy but even lower to the ground for guard play.
 
@shoeboy4 i guess you wont be able to know until you actually play in them, but could you please tell us if you feel any heel slippage or heel lift. Also, does it feel low to the ground or do you kinda sit high up off of the ground. thank you.

They feel alot more roomy aound the middle than the 8. My 8s are the same size and they feel like they are stranging my foot when i tie them. The 9 just feel broken in already hard to explain

Thanks. That was my only concern.
I can't wait to try these on now.

I dont have every kd they have made since the 1 just 4-9 including all elites except the 8 elites. by far the most comfortable out of the box of any of them i have. the flyknit is fuse backed it seems cause it isnt like the kobe 11 where its super pliable and i see no kevlar strings running thru it at all

how does the flyknit compare to the kd8's flyweave?
 
Tracion and lockdown are what I'm most curious about with these, looking forward to see what your thoughts are after playing in them.

On feet, medial side, overhead shot. ill try to get the insole and zoom but the zoom is tinted so it may be hard to get. they hug the foot pretty damn well do not feel like they will fall off. stability feels good i will know more tomorrow after i get to play in them. the zoom feels almost like a higher pressure elite 6 bag bouncy but stable and not sloppy.

What I most want to know about is the traction on indoor courts and if the Zoom is responsive and softer than the usual stiff *** Zoom units they put in KD's.
 
The shoe looks really good. I'm hoping it's as comfy as the 7s play in. The instep and forefoot feel of the 8s were horrible.
 
A bit disappointed noone requested images from the Space Station on the beach with waves.

That's my go to criteria for buying decisions.
 
@shoeboy4.. Good looking out on the info about the shoe. I appreciate it. One question thou.. If you had the 7s aswell.. How does the fit of these compare to it?
 
Just got done playing in them about a half hr ago. Shoe feels amazing while playing. Lockdown for me was not an issue shoe feels like a glove on foot and there was no heel slippage. Traction is good court is maintained decently so i am unsure about a dusty court. Cushioning is legit. The best way for me to describe it would be a higher pressure more stable lower to the ground feeling version of the 6 elite cushioning. The cutouts in the bag and separation of the toe lets the shoe flex with the foot and not feel like walking on a board. Hands down i love them and want more pairs already

Nightwing said nylon backed, not fuse backed. Also this isnt raw flyknit, its got the thicker honeycomb pattern for rigidity
