Unless they're hidden inside the shoe, probably not.

Seems like there's more hate than love on the WTKs. I hope that's means easy cop.

No chance in hell haha. Everyone that is on the fence will go for them just because it is a WTK. They look good but something just seems missing.

I've notice the Elite 9 has gained a lot of love lately. From the Christmas sellout to people hunting for the older Elites. No way the WTK will be easy IMO.

That tinker interview where he called it one of the greatest designs (9 high in general) ever probably drew some people back in.

I don't think there's hate for the shoe itself. It looks like a radical Colorway in line with the Influence and Super Hero.
It just doesn't have the hallmarks of a WT shoe based on previous signatures and shoes. Besides the tags on the inside, there are no call backs to the MP, Inspiration, Maestro, Showtimes, Influence, Details, Golds, etc.
But since they attached the name to the shoe, there is now hype.

I like it but they could have done some amazing things by combining all the previous elites. Seems to me they just didn't try. I mean it's a cool design but not WT material when compared to the Bron or KD versions.

In terms of a "what-the" ness I think I can say there's victories (the greenish), the perspectives (blue that's found throughout), and the orange-red from the strategies. That's a bit of a reach I'll admit but blue-orange-green seems to be the dominant theme on these.

Where did the Xmas sell out? They're sitting all over SoCal.

Online at NDC and other retailers. I think a lot of shops still have them though

I was under the impression that most folks didn't like these "boxing shoes". I thought copping these WTK would be a breeze for me.....

If they were lows, I'd get them. Just can't do them boxing shoes.

Was copping any of the initial releases a breeze?

Honest to god, I did not want to try them because I thought I would look goofy. The Xmas turned me, I loved the look and said I gotta try and rock em. Gonna see how they work with me and if I can pull it off I will go after the Details.

I'm regretting passing on the Xmas pair. I got in line on NDC, but gave up my spot...smhHonest to god, I did not want to try them because I thought I would look goofy.

Besides the unreleased WTL 9 (off the top of my head), the left and right shoes tend to not not match in order to maximize the representation of that Sigs past designs. And again, I don't see any past influences besides the tags.
They could've called the influence, Restored, Maestro, Expression or whatever could've been called WTK based on patterns and design.

I disagree. I missed out on the MPs, Maestro and Influence. But obviously everyone's mileage will vary. The WTK will not be an easy release based on the usual Kobe production numbers and hype associated with the name.

The first high I bought on RD was the Details. Got it from NDC, but they did sell out. After that, each high seems to be easier and easier (Golds, Brave Blues) although most seem to sell out, at least online, after a while, or that day (Stockings).
Considering the Victories are mostly gone from NDC, I'm surprised there is still a FSR of the Sequoias.
