Official Kobae XI thread

You guys think the Achilles will sell out? I was originally hoping they'd go on discount lol

EDIT: Also how do these fit?

I honestly don't think these will sell out. Yeah, it's his last on-court signature shoe, but it isn't the last colorway. But if you're worried about whether or not they will sellout, you're probably better off just getting them LOL.

There's a lot of details on the xmas x
Thinking about buying the Achilles and returning the xmas not sure yet

I saw both in person and ended up buying the Xmas X.

I'm more interested in the purple XI and the BHM when it comes to the XI.

Saw them in person today, the flyknit looks really sturdy.

Tried the shoe on and it does fit a little long, I'ma 9 and would go with a 8.5 for a snug fit.  The shoe isn't as low to the ground as the 8, but definitely doesn't have that 'boat' feeling with X.

These do feel like they were designed as function over form.  

The one thing that irked me about the Achilles colorway was the colour of the ankle padding - it was quite bright compared to the lighter of the red fly knit.  

Will hang out for the BHM colourway.

Be interesting to hear anyones performance reviews (haven't looked on the previous pages so forgive me).....

Achilles heels are not selling out on ndc europe. Should be an easy cop for everyone in the US.

I did not cop, because I want to see if they get discounted.

Got too many red shoes already

Same. Too many red kicks

I'm feeling the same way I felt about the X's when it first came out. Not feeling them at all in the beginning.

 

[dmxgod]

If those grinch XI IDs are an option..instant cop

This model i think will b a classic..

 

[ootherocoo]

 

If you cop on SNKRS will they allow you to apply a 20% code?

No

Yes you can.

Log into your account on NDC and input the code.  Then on release day if you cop thru sneakers, it will automatically apply.

Yep.  I'm passing on the Achillies.  My first pair of XIs will be the BHMs

 

[abuch47]

Christmas Xs or Achilles xi?

why not both.

I think the 5 rings is the best of the X retail.

 

[andersonjames]

I think I really dislike the tongue - the dual material - the "leather" center bit and the padding looking stuff on the sides.

Gonna pass today.

Same boat Grizz. I had an unexpected come up on those HTMs too. Didn't actually believe I would get pulled from the NDC Digital Fish Bowl. Not sure I can make it through the day on these XIs though...

 

[superstarlord]

Damn, got an early pair of the black/white XIs, accidentally had them shipped to my office instead of home. Would have had them today...

You had one job 

 up until yesterday post office had them estimated delivery for Monday, then they hit me with that updated delivery date for today.  At least with the office they aren't sitting on my porch for half the day on the weekdays.
