On the FTB, is the sole a solid black or a translucent black ice?

They look solid to me.

it's not solid black, it's a translucent black sole. 

XDR comparable then? 

 

[lockdown36]

Ah, we don't have a translucent black option on the IDs =(

 

[only1to5]

 
it's not solid black, it's a translucent black sole. 

Ah.  Thanks!  there is no option for that on ID.  So either solid of translucent clear as an option.

 

[lockdown36]

I went with a black

 

[vinotwofour]

solid black is the closest you can get. From afar, it's hard to tell the FTB 11's have a black translucent sole.

Don't pay over 400-500
If no one is paying them 1k then they will have to lower the price eventually
Their value will drop anyway when there are more classic retrospect coming out of I wouldn't be surprised if there is a restock for these

But that's just it. People are paying it which is dumb, justt look at some of the bids. As pairs dry up since there's not many, prices aren't going to drop to $100 jus tt because a new Kobe retro comes out or a the 12's. It's his last game worn shoe so it will hold value. The ftb pack will drop n price in comparison, besides the fact those don't compare to the game worn pairs.

Those people are probably too rich to care or they will regret it in the future when the prices drop to 500

They obviously have the money to spend but I wouldn't be expecting these to hit $500 unless there are some re-stocks. Unless your a size shoe that isn't coveted.

i got less patience than an out of work doctor. i been throwing out offers, probably not even gonna want them by monday.

this is why i hate myself.

Most people who buying them feel the same as you, once the high goes away you need a new fix.

Reminds me of when someone dropped 21K on a Jeremy Lin rookie card

I can definitely see they drop to prelude 1s price range at the mean time I will pray for a restock although chances are slim

 

[MVP]

Wow!!! LOL.

So I assume if you weren't the first 20 (randomly guessing)

No shoes were available then right?

No I was pretty far back more than 100 so I don't know how much stock they held back from the earlier raffle. Not everyone bought shoes tough most just went in for the T-Shirts.

There were still 7s, Hyperdunks, and a few scattered sizes of some of the others (no 11s or 1s at all by the time I got in).

 

[lockdown36]

It's alright, I'm happy with my ID Knock off FTBs 11's

Not sure what the Prelude numbers were which were obviously very limited but if they really keep these to 2K with small re-stocks it's going to be tough. Jutst can't believe people are dumb enough to be paying over 1K for these. Funny how Nike offered the consolation prize with the ID's knowing people would be itching for some type of shoe to commemorate his career.

yep no way im paying 1k for these despite the meaning behind of these shoes unless i hit the lottery

 

[theotherjd]

I just picked up my pair from Niketown. Still can't believe I got through on the raffle.

Not sure what to do with my pair. Not to rub salt in the wound, but this is my first/only pair of Kobes and I've never been his biggest fan. But history is history.

I'll try and update with some pics later, as it looks like it came with some sort of pamphlet and pin.

Am I the only one feeling the Tinkers?

I almost exclusively buy my shoes at retail, so I'll just wait for those while others are dropping $2k on shoes hahaha

Definitely feelin the tinkers

Rare that we get a performance like that in the exact shoe that he's wearing, I thought it was going to be a slight variation off the release. But for me to get the same shoe, in the same size, there's so much more sentimental value, can't put a price on it. At some point I would have had to gave them.

NIketown was raffling XI's FTBs?

just saw this in a FB group......

Asians IDOLIZE Kobe more than any athlete in the NBA. Especially China, and I know, I'm Chinese

Damn "fam," I'm half Chinese. Have any peeps on the mainland that can get us some Burgs or Olive UBs?

And I hope you're not drinking wine (vino?). You'll get all red and get the "Asian Flush" haha

I think it was only Niketown NY & The Vault. NTNY posted it on Twitter last night when the SNKRS raffle went live.
