Official Kobae XI thread

[howdythere]

I feel like the Kobe 11 elite is the most versatile, stylish and classiest sneaker for casual wear of all the Kobes. They don't have any wild and sometimes cheesy prints or colors like the 7 or 8s (with the exception of a few, like the Easter and All Star), no super high top either like the 9s, which is harder to pull off. Just mostly subtle colors and designs paired with fly knit and a low top. Beautiful and classic shoe.

What do you guys think?

I agree, I picked up more pairs of the XI than any other Kobe model.

Darn you eBates! I bought the Blackouts yesterday with the 25% off clearance with %12 on eBates. Now they have it at 18%

Time to reorder and return

How did you get the blackouts on clearance?

The XIs were def nice. Kinda tailed off towards the end, still think the IXs were the peak of the line.

Hmm. So he's going to return his previously bought pair for an additional $5.85 through ebates? Makes no sense, but you are probably right.

So will the 4kb Liquid Lime be the next and the last pair of Kobe 11 elite?

Guess that is it!

Best model since kobe 8

So far only have Achilles, Bruce, Tinker, Avar, last game ID, and love all of them, still hunt for eulogy, dark space Oreo with good discount, and maybe 1 or 2 EMs if they are cheap enough, LOL.

Lol, no worries. I have done the same thing over $10. I thought it was a hassle at the end, but I get it. Money saved is money earned.

I dunno man. To me that AD is ugly AF. The XIs have definitely been the perfect end to a legendary signature series. It's hard to top it and I don't think the AD accomplished that, didn't even come close.

The 11 is my favorite Kobe model. I think I bought 9 colorways which the most for any model for me.

hows the traction on those? I notice some kobe 11 outsoles are half solid and half translucent

The traction are better than the kobe 11 bruce lee. The Tinkers/BHM is way better because of the solid outsoles.

Same here. The XIs are my favorite and went all out this year. I have all the Elite colorways (also doubled up on a few CWs) except for FTBs and Brazil. For the EMs, I have Aces, Carpe Diem, Draft Day, Quais, Blackouts, and Milans. I made 3 EM IDs, 3 Elite IDs and 12 MC IDs. I definitely won't be getting into the ADs this deep because I promised my wife that I'll seek counseling for my Kobe shoe addiction. smh

Philippines from NDC Canada delivered to my Canadian address today and is being forwarded to me tomorrow.

I guess Nike Europe runs the Canadian site, which is why they don't ship to the US. Oh well.

I'll post pics once all 12 pairs come in. I only have 4 pairs at the moment and just got a notification that three more pairs just shipped out. They're nothing you guys haven't seen before. I went with very simple combos- all of them have black heels, either black tongue with black laces or white tongue with white laces, then either black PRM, sail PRM or conventional white swoosh, then for outsoles GITD (1), XDR, white or gum. 2 of the 12 pairs were identical since I'll be wearing those two the most so I wanted to double up to wear later down the line.
