Kobe X Official Thread Elite Series ‘Elite Team’ April 18th, ‘Elevate’ May 15th, ‘Rose Gold’ June 5

Not bad its ok looking. I like for the fact they are Purple, but does look kinda cheap looking like a low Hyperdunk, or Crusader.
 
I LOVE them (so far) except for the back , I don't care what kinda story they come up with, it looks STUPID. Just double up on the shozoku !
 
The two different heels won't do anything.

The zk4 only had the signature on one heel cup, but the knock off companies caught on very quickly.
 
Can't front... I think the X's will be some Winners!

Definitely an Upgrade from the Kobe 9 Silhouette. 

And ppl must remember, the Kobe 9's were NOT FLYKNIT. The Kobe 9 "Elite" was Flyknit. Could easily see them going Flyknit for Kobe X Elites. 

Just glad to see they're back to the Normal Release Schedule and don't have to see Elite's drop ahead of the true version.

Yup 100%

Mentalities are killing the X's if those pics are legit X's

Terrible so far.

Long live the 8s.

I don't think this looks terrible but yeah, 8 looks better. Will wait for official pics though, maybe I'll change my mind.

I must say they look like they are gonna feel good. The design of the sole with that mesh upper has to be comfortable as heck.
 
I think it looks pretty clean. Just looks limited NikeID-wise like the IX's.

I thought the back pieces/emblems were going to be a tpu type plating from seeing the blue pairs a few weeks ago...hmmm...
 
I'm pretty iffy on the outsole pattern.  It looks like either the outsole of a turf shoe, grass court tennis shoe or maybe like Adidas cilia pattern.

I think it's actually a non slip sole used on a lot of work shoes.

I've never seen it on an athletic shoe but it works really well on watery floors and even ice.

Excellent point.  You may have posted about this a page or two back but I forgot.  In that case, I totally understand as I've walked around in a pair of those non-slip work shoes

Maybe it works wonders on the hardwood?

I've personally never played basketball on ice or a court with water.. One acl surgery is enough :lol:

I just want shoes that are good on the dustiest courts in the world.

Hopefully they are the GS version and the Men's version are different. I wish they went the flyknit lowtop route instead of hyperfuse.

They remind me of the P-Rod 8's.
