Only they reason they aren't pimpin Kyrie Fans is because it's his first dog, watch them robe US later though. I love the KOBE Xs I can't lie. Just wish the price was "right".

Hey guys new here and first post ever. I just bought the Kobe X AS yesterday, I put my GRF Basketball Insole Orthodics (highly recommended insoles) and they fit with this shoe AMAZINGLY. After 5 hours of playing in these:
-My favorite Kobe to play in yet (have only worn 6, 7, 8, 9)
-felt to me like a 6 but better traction and amazing cushion
-mine did also peel but the material under is perfectly fine. View media item 1407462

Also the first court I played on was reputally know for being dusty. Even in my 9s traction was an issue on this court. In the Xs, I had no issue whatsoever. Best traction I've ever felt. Took 2 games to break in, but after that I was in love. 2 IDs on the way and copping the Blackouts Saturday. Anyone curious as to the performance aspect of these shoes that love to play in Kobe's, you will not be disappointed.

they are meant to peel people. They are the black mambas after all. Shedding that skin getting ready for next season 
I will be wearing mine just casually so hope they dont peel.

Man, that peeling On the ASG is such a turn off. Probably why I didn't go HAM like my white twin brother Lewi.

Only rocking these casually so as long as they stay intact for that. I can't hoop in Kobes anymore.

Sore knees after the 8s had me drop a LeBron insole in my MP 9s which made a huge difference to me. Still didn't play long in them and switched to Jordan 28s.

this reminds me of the 4s. people would play in them and then there will be paint cracking and people go mad crazy saying that shouldn't happen and that jordans are CHEAP
my thunder 4 lasted 2yrs before cracking. and it was only after i decided to play ball in them. hopefully this will be the case with the kobe ASG

Yes I have. Since the ortholite insoles are thicker (especially in the forefoot area) than my orthotics the toebox felt a bit too roomy for my taste. Also with the ortolite insoles the shoes feel "softer" and a bit more comfortable because the ortholites provide additional cushioning which my orthotics don't. But I guess it depends on your orthotics. I have to add that most shoes don't feel quite as comfortable anymore once I put in my orthotics but with the Kobe X is was a bit more noticeable than with some other basketball shoes I have.

The GRF are the first insoles I've ever used. I just got them 2 weeks ago and put them in my VIs and loved them.

Idk I think the X isn't all that bad. I like it's simplicity. I agree on the Lebron statement though. I'd say Nike dumped on Lebron even more since both the Lebron XII and the Lebron XI kinda suck... whereas the Kobe 9 was pretty dope!

Are the 5AM's on backorder with NDC? I just noticed you can't even order them and they just say "Coming Soon". Also only size 8 and 12.5 left at footlocker/eastbay/champs. They didn't sell that well did they?
