THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

[noblekane]

This man speaks the truth. And YES, Harden and Curry are both better than Kobe right now. It's not even much of a question really.

Aye bro tmac called. Said to give him his ratchet career back and to discuss who is better in another thread

 

[gothmog]

 
They look absolutely HORRENDOUS from the Ankle up, right here. 

Yall Cats gotta quit w/ the Hipster Doofus Look, bruh. LOL

They could look pretty solid if you let the pants cover the top portion... but it's just ridiculous for casual wear, otherwise.

Everybody's always Mad Quick to mention when a Competing Brand Bites off of Nike, but when it's relatively clear that Swoosh is biting (UA)..... *CRICKETS*

Brand Loyalty at its finest, I guess. 

they got nice shape , i can see myself rocking em with the tongue cover

Am I the only who's excited for the high, but doesn't see a reason to own more than one c/w?

 

[Quincy McCall]

Jinnorufino on IG has a better pic of the medial view on feet, seems as well more pics have surfaced, wonder how long till presellers get some pairs we are only 2 months away

I don't think it is nothing wrong with wearing the Kobe's with jeans, I just always wore mine with basketball shorts/cargo shorts. I attempted to wear my del sol 6s with jeans once and ended up changing to some timbs last minute. I seen some fresh pics of people wearing Kobe's with jeans, I can't pull it off.

NobleKane speaking truth as usual.

Y'all are forgetting that kobe is the one sig line that pushes the limits and is progressive.

 

[tatmantall]

Man .... I was really all about these but after seeing the last few IG pics something looks really odd about the show if the shoe . It looks VERY Boxy/huge...gonna reserve my final thoughts until more more pics surface but not sure about these right now

Yes, you are the only one.

Don't let pics of people who have bad style determine how the shoe looks for you.

Of course they look big when a dude is wearing size 28 H&M skinny jeans with them. :x

 

[tatmantall]

Yeah I figured that pic was whatever but the pic mentioned a few posts up on IG dude is wearing with jeans covering the top which gives you a good look at the side of the shoe's shape without the horrible tight rolled jeans influencing the nausea in my stomach. Like I said though, will wait to form opinion until we get better and more pics.

 

[dwr73244]

I own kobe 1-6, and never worn any of em with jeans.

Same here.  I usually wear Kobe's with shorts and something different with jeans.  Maybe thats cuz I"m from NY and we got some nasty winters here, but Kobe's are more of a hoopin/summer with shorts weather sneaker for me.

 

[crazy ebw]

Here's that other pic y'all talmbout...

 

[bowb4me]

The shoe looks good there too. It's just to much to put jeans over. Your jeans would have to be really baggy to hide all that under so you don't have a weird bulge at the bottom of your pants. Jeans also hide to much of what makes this shoe different. Might as well buy low top Kobe's or Flyknits instead.

 

[Original Playa Records]

Kobe 9's will be the epitome of #NTDenim.

 

[tatmantall]

On second look I realized dude has his pants hiked up to show the shoe... Might have been throwing me off

 

[lavaroshe]

Here's that other pic y'all talmbout...

At least the lows seem to look pretty good. Can't see myself in these boxing boots anytime soon.

 

[odysseus]

I'm starting to think Nike's forcing super high tops out specifically because of the Air Mags. It's like this convo went down with the design team in the kitchen:
Designer 1- Can you believe that's what we thought shoes would look like in 2015?
Designer 2- Ha, that's crazy. There's still a few years left though, you never know what could happen.
Designer 1- lf anyone would know it should be us, we make these things happen. What do you think Tinker? Oh, by the way, have any new ideas for Air Jordan 2013 yet? ...Tinker?

More pics

I think the shoes will look fine casual with jeans, will look like the flyknits which I think look good with jeans, just can't roll the jeans halfway up your leg like this guy ha

 

[bowb4me]

Those are the type of jeans you need for these. Very slim and you have no choice but to pull them up. Boot cut jeans could work over top but the shoe is thin, not wide like a boot. So the jeans would look funny IMO.

 

[Black Lotus]

imo this is an example of how a shoe can look when worn wrong & vice versa...

P.S. curry or harden can start in the All-Star game once kobe retires
