I'm skeptical in saying those are the black horses although I can't say their not, right heel has no symbols on it representing the meaning to kobe of the black horse (famine) and swoosh isn't sewn on...

Anyone knows whats causing this one? My 11s are relatively new. It also happened in my 4s and 5s.

The 7, 8, and 10 have no sockliner issues like this. Any tips for prevention?

Looks like you are actually playing bball in your Kobes. It's because the shape of that shoe and the how your feet move when you play ball. You can cover that spot with tape when you play.

The exact same thing happens to my shoes. The 5s were the worst.

Not too shabby. Exactly what I have so far except the GCRs are en route and I'm still trying to find the FTBs for a decent price. I did double up on Eulogys, Parkers, BLs, AS, BHMs, USAs and tripled up on Tinkers...my top CWs for this line.

Don't be offended, but it's you. Because of how your legs/ankles/feet are shaped, your feet catch each other during your gait, you probably won't ever notice it when it happens.

We all have different gaits, this doesn't happen on ANY of my Kobe because feet catch each other in a lower spot, so the medial side of my heel counters are ALWAYS scuffed in the exact same place.

As previously stated, a piece of tape should do.

^^^ very likely. None of my Kobes ranging from Kobe 6 to the current Kobe XIs have this problem. Some of which are only worn with jeans and you would think that the jeans rubbing on the top would cause it to have a tear but it doesn't. The Kobes I wear only with shorts also do not have that problem.
 
I have only had problems with the sock liner ripping on the 8's and it was on the corners of the collar near the end of the laces.
