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

[francisnomics]

Getting rid of my Elites. Really wonder if the EM lowtops will perform any different than the highs. The carbon fiber heel clip on the Elites is wayyy too clunky for my liking. The Flyknit is soo beautiful though 

 

[airnikesnhats]

Yeah sweats are supposed to be baggy not tight. If you want to wear joggers I would suggest going up a size or three

I've been rocking Gap joggers (picked up from the factory/outlet stores) and maybe it's cause I'm a little older at 33, but I can't rock with the fancy prints and slim fit.....not baggy but a nice loose pair. Charcoal, Heather Gray and Black....to each his own...

Back to the topic.....for those who picked these up already....how are materials? The comfort of the shoe overall? I like all the lows, but really trying to add some yellow kicks for diversity.

People basing their opinion of the 9's off 1 colourway.

Just how the 8 sucked so much off the leaked sulfers pic

Yessir!!!  I don't like the "Kung-Fu" lows and won't be getting them.  BUT that doesn't mean I hate all lows off that one pic.  Let's wait to see how this thing plays out.

PS: My "Details" just got delivered to the office.  I'll take a group shot later tonight.

Those leaked 8 pics were of fakes made of plastic. The pics of the 9 lows are the real deal and look like Ross exclusive.

Guess you're referring to the wrong pic.

Everyone was writing off the 8 cause the first colourway had a "stupid" partern.

Right.  Better believe there will be some colorways that will come out that will have everyone going wild

We've already seen 4 c/w's of the EM lows

Are we not allowed at this point to develop an opinion?

If you don't like the shoe model then there's no saving it with a colorway.

If you just don't like the colorways so far, then I'd wait to see all of them.

"obsession?"

that's what the nickname looks like to me. looks like the weakest CW so far. pass.

 

[C.Magneto]

Come on!!!! It's not fair I was supposed to be some after the details

 

[jdhiman]

 
THESE ARE WACK,

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THESE!!!:

 

 

[piston honda]

A little disappointed. I like how it looked more white than grey in the leaked pic.

 

[mgc232]

^ i would have passed on those too. but yes, i agree that the white hue looks better than grey. if they had been the promotagged pair, i would have copped

 

[bdrake823]

I gotta say this, I appreciate how the Kobe IX's don't have a ton of images leaked early.  We've seen pics of the KD and the Lebron Superhero's for a while now and the pic that @Piston Honda  posted above was the only one of these leaked and didn't really show much detail.  For me I personally like seeing shoes announced rather than knowing what they look like for months.

 

[byukid]

It looks like someone ate a bunch of playdoh then vomited on the details.

Yes sir.

 

[ultimatecam]

Honestly those could have been the Easter or the draft days as people thought

 

[jflick]

I'm very disappointed with the Superhero Obsessions as well as the Kobe 9 elite in general because I was only supposed to buy one pair . Now I own 3 with these and the Showtimes up next, smh. Nike is my pimp
