So, did you guys got the same size as the 11s?
coz im usually a 10 on Kobes except the 11s which i went down to 9.5
I am a TTS 9.5 (TBH I feel like a 9.75 because I always seem to be in sizing predicament on whether I should go TTS or .5 up with quite a few shoes; first world problems...). I went back and forth on what fit better and the difference seemed negligible for me. 10s were slightly longer, but just walking around it seemed insignificant. That said, I don't have wide feet and TTS won out. Overall it just "wrapped around my foot better" with little "deadspace" if you will. Where as the 10s seemed like slightly over a thumbs space from end of toe to the edge of the toe box. For a decent amount of people, I'm sure they could pull off TTS or .5 up IMO.
I'm particularly careful with Kobe's since I bought too many pairs in my wrong size in the 8s when i started collecting them (originally bought 10.5s and really the 10s fit better. For some reason I felt like the 10s were snugger than I liked when I first tried them in. Had an epiphany when I received my IDs and the 10.5 felt really big. Don't ask my why it took so long for me to figure the sizing out...)
Anyway, for reference, this is what I wear as a TTS 9.5:
Kobe 8: 10
Kobe 9: 10 in EM and Flyknit
Kobe 10: 9.5 EM and 10 in Flyknit
Kobe 11: 10 EM and 9.5 in Flyknit
Hopefully that helps. Sorry if there are an abundance of typos or something doesn't make sense, I'm typing from my phone.
Here are the pics I took yesterday. I posted them in the now closed Kobe AD thread.

I hooped in mine this morning and I gotta say that they are pretty good. They have the same type of traction like the Kobe Xs so the shallow grooves in the forefoot will pick up dust, but the heel traction is opened up a little more so the traction on that end isn't too bad. A couple wipes after every 3-4 plays will be fine. The cushion does soften up after about 2 games, I don't know how long it will take for others since everyone's play style is different, but for me it took about 2 games. The mesh upper does a pretty good job with loosening up after a bit so it becomes pretty pliable after a while. Breathability isn't too bad, but I'm sure when a FK version comes out, it should be better. IMO, you sit a little higher than usual. So if you are looking for that court feel, these might not be the best option for you, but if you don't mind sacrificing court feel for a little more comfort, you should be fine. If I was to compare these to another Kobe, performance wise, these will be pretty close to the Xs.
For those with wide feet, go up half a size. For everyone else, go TTS.
Because people are asking me to update it and I don't want to as I have almost zero interest in this silhouette.So they renamed the thread to link to this? Why not just change the name of the thread and keep it going?
NXT? What's the difference?
Crazy to me these aren't getting any hype. I think they look sick!
Has anyone balled in them yet? Interested to hear about the traction, i quite like the gray cw but i wonder if they have improved traction over the last model.
