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

[nikko]

 
Strange they have 9EM listed twice as black April 20 and May 3 . Also like the sound of the "Blitz Blue" on the release calendar posted.

 
So Easters come out on the 18 and then there's another drop on the 20 and an Elite on the same day. April sounds like it will be a busy month of copping.

Some release dates are wrong or doubled.

I think the next releases are:

APRIL 2014

11 – NIKE KOBE IX ELITE/COURT PURPLE 630847-500

18 – NIKE KOBE IX EM/TURBO GREEN 646701-300

MAY 2014

03 – NIKE KOBE IX EM/BLACK 646701-001

09 – NIKE KOBE IX ELITE/WOLF GREY 630847-005

JUNE 2014

06 – NIKE KOBE IX ELITE/WHITE 630847-100

21 – NIKE KOBE IX EM/GAME ROYAL "BLITZ BLUE" 646701-413

Coming from someone who actually wears the shoes for intended purposes, and not to the mall, these are a lot better than the 8's.

Dang it. I'm gonna have to give these a try. Love the 8 for basketball. Dunno how these could be better. Now I'm curious.

I love the 8 too, but the tongue was a let down. It was too thin and you could kinda feel the laces when tied up. The 9 has a slightly thicker tongue, which makes the shoe ever so slightly bulkier on the foot, but it feels great.

I wear 11 in the 8 and 9 FWIW

I actually regret getting a pair
Should've changed my mind while I was there
I look at them and just stare
Put them in my closet, they'll remain there

Talking kobe/lebron is pretty pointless. It's like talking left/right wing politics. You're not going to convince the other to change their mind.

Lets just enjoy the game and talk shoes.

That would make more sense.Says April 20 but that is a Sunday. Looks like they are going to use some of the 8 color ways too. Would love more purple fades. Also glad Easter release is on a Friday.

for the love of god, can a retailer put up a size 11 online of the lows? come on!!!!!

 

[illest35]

LOL NO

Keep going

Easter Sunday is April 20th this year, and the Easter Pack always releases on Good Friday which happens to be April 18th.

Yeah I know. But on the calendar posted it listed 2 more Kobe dropping on 20th.

Just keep checking Eastbay... you know they're gonna put some sizes up due to "cancelled" orders...

 

[dark steel]

I figured that was wrong when I saw it awhile back. Nike's not gonna drop shoes on a Sunday... much less Easter Sunday.

That site needs to update that list...

 

[navster]

does anyone remember if last easter collection was tlo or regular?

I wear 11 in the 8 and 9 FWIW

Thanks for size info. I'm going for a 11.5 then when the right color comes out.

I agree with tongue. It's thin and bothers (rubs) me if I wear no show socks. But with quarter socks or higher the shoe is near perfect for indoor ballin. I also like them for just casual walking around. I prefer more cushion for when I play outdoors though.

 

[dark steel]

I believe it wasn't TLO, just like this year's collection.

 

[Magic33]

Yeah I was shocked the associate said I couldn't try the lows on. Guess it applies to all FTLs. Should've got the order in from NDC when I had the chance to try on then return lol.

No, I could have tried mine on. It's a managers decision.

How many people were waiting?

Don't know if anyone has tried this, but it definitely helps with the dead space, and it's alot more comfortable because your feet aren't rubbing on the lunarlon.

One guy at the register at the time helping one person. It was before noon, maybe 4 other customers in the store browsing. I was trying on Roses' off the display since they were my size since no one was around for help. Then another guy came out so I asked him if they had my size left so I asked to try them on. He said no because it's a launch release so that was that.

 

[biiggtone]

Lebron still has way more years to get more, Kobe has NO MORE years to get anything, not even a scoring title., Kobe has been in the nba longer than Bron.......Ok


And just a few years ago it was. Kobe 5, Lebron 0
Kobe 5, Lebron 1
Kobe 5, Lebron 2........See where Im going with this.....Riiiiiight.

Thought you were doing something didn't you?

^^me too.. Laker fan With or without Kobe..


He Still behind homie.. How many years it took Kobe to get 2? Lmao.. BOY STOOPP.!!!!

You can't ever be denied an opportunity to try the shoes on, he was just being an AHOLE! It still boils down to it being a shoe and you have the right to make sure they fit properly. I guess they can tell you whatever they want when they know you or someone else is going to buy it regardless. Kind of a sad circumstance of this developing arrogance Nike has created for 3rd party retailers. A "Launch Product" WTF! So that shoe is too special to be tried on? Insanity!!!

Finishline's customer service is FAR AND BEYOND better than FTL/CHMP/FA, Villa, Jimmy Jazz, or Nike Towns because Customer Service at a Corporate level is a priority. Finishline is NOT an "Urban" company so treating customers poorly is simply unacceptable and isn't tolerated. The FNL website is just janky at times. LMAO!!!

 

[biiggtone]

When is the date on the Red/Black lows?
