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

[888sneakerst]

I got the call from my HOH! but I'm concerned about the sizes.  First off, I'm a small footer.  In kobe 8s, I wore a 8 or 8.5.  Size 8 is a bit tight in the toe box for me on the kobe8.  In Jordan retros, I wear an 8 with tons of space.  In the Kobe 9, I am not sure where I fit, but I put a size 8 in the raffle.

I know most people say they are TTS, but a lot of people said that about the kobe8 and a lot of peeps also said to size up on those.  What's the verdict for the kobe9 on sizing?

So tomorrow morning NTDC won't even sell the Kobe's just the rest of the pack? That can't be.. I guess FCFS then?

Coo.. won a size 9 at HOH Arden mall... I've never won anything there. Feels nice.

 [h1]KOBE INSIGHT #2:  I’M LOOKING FOR A HIGH-TOP THAT FEELS LIKE A LOW-TOP.[/h1]
Eric Avar:  “Let’s integrate lightweight ankle support with a Flyknit collar that is barely noticeable.”

Performance result:  Allows a natural range of motion, proprioception and an intuitive fit with the lightweight feel of a low-top.  The collar is high, but there are zero distractions or restrictions.

Before I read this, I thought the same thing when I held the shoes in hand.  My favorite shoes used to be the XX8 (for basketball), but this Kobe 9 looks like it is leaner and lighter than the XX8

Some dude at Nike Las Vegas just flipped because they wouldn't let him buy the Masterpiece display,

 

[just another pair]

I believe the xx8 are still lighter
