Nice!  All Stars are XDR outsole, no?

 

[canklebreaker]

Are there knockoffs of the GCR?

Are there knockoffs of the GCR?

Yes. I'd get a legit check first if you have concerns about a pair.

Yes there are. I have a pair so I can check it for you if you send some pics

naw...kinda like a hybrid sole between translucent and solid...the BHMs had great traction (solid outer sole) but I ran those into the ground...

 

[canklebreaker]

The MC's are amazing. You're not going to regret getting them

 

[superstarlord]

Already got the Almost Finished on the MCs I ordered on 3/24. Went with the reflective swoosh, thought that looked closer to the MP than the metallic silvers that I sent back. Altho I guess I forgot that I went with the leather heel last time, I think I did the jacquard heel with volt logo.

Is it just me or do the black spaces have a smaller tongue compared to other XIs???

Kobe XI Alternate
Set to release 3/30 Japan and Taiwan.
No word on USA release.

Been waiting for these, I like the MC under. I would cop these. I like them for some reason, Shroud in all. I would cut the shroud off if anything.

[evo45]

Yeah those things are dope dude. Now why are we not getting that in the states as well as the 11 did over here?

[johnmcguirk]

What a weird model.  I can dig an XI that is more water resistant but I'd hoped it would be from more water resistant materials (leather/prm instead of flyknit, like the older EXT models) but that's not what we got.  *shrugs*

Why couldn't they just release it without the glove overlay. A true multicolor like the Masterpiece 9s. I just see customs offering deals like how they chop the 9 highs. Un-Glove your Kobe XI Alternates.

I'd like to see how those turn out

I remember people doing something similar for the SS Xmas Kobe 8s that had the scaled layer.

According to this link the All Stars do have an XDR outsole.

I remember seeing a stack of All Star XI's at the local outlet - didn't buy, huge regret - they all had XDR hanging tags.  Should explain the superior traction that you're feeling.

I have an ID with XDRs on the way, really excited to try that out.

Picked these up at Burloak Outlet (Oakville, CAN)

Works out to roughly $117 US - black horse were at a local outlet for same price but 30% off - these may be hitting outlets across the board unless they have already(?):
