Feels okay so far, not drastically different but I'll give it a shot. Thanks! I saw schwollo do the extra lacelet mod, but didn't want to do anything permanent to the shoe until I've had some time to break it in on court to see if it's still an issue.

I just got my CLB 2016s, haven't gotten a chance to play in them yet. I did a little moving around and can't tell if heel slip will be an issue. They feel great walking and jumping. Boost is not as mushy and bouncy as D Rose 6, but feels great. The firmness makes you feel a little quicker with...

My Innovations fit really true to size, slightly narrow in the toebox even. But the Flyknit gets softer and really comfy once broken in.

It's been that price for at least a month now on Adidas site. Amazon is cheaper, at least in my size that is.

Unfortunately, the Innovations are the only Kobe 11s I own so I can't compare to the other colorways, but I assume they'd be the same rubber compound as long as it's not translucent and All-Stars have that special XMR sole I think. They're actually gray in color, but I don't that makes a...

I play in the Innovations several days a week. The solid rubber outsole is fantastic. I rarely ever wipe, and I would say they do not clean the courts very often at my university campus gym. I play in the Kobe Mentality 2's which are known for insane traction because they're outdoor shoes, and...

Are you guys concluding that the CE Lows are far better than the CLB  2016s now? Like I have neither, but I definitely want a pair. Is it not worth it to get the CLBs anymore? I would ball in them, not just walk around for casual wear.

I got the Innovations for $74 :D. It was new with defects on ebay meaning there was dust marks on the upper, but I didn't notice it and came off after a couple wears. I won the auction plus that $15 off code back a month ago. Twas wonderful and my go to basketball shoe. Overall, prices on ebay...

How's the fit of the CLBs compared to the Kobe 9s? I absolutely love the true-to-size fit of my Kobe  11s, but have been wanting a pair of CLBs. Issue is they're not really carried in stores much anymore, so if I see a deal online..not really sure what my exact size would be.

Ah that's a steal, but I'm in Chicago which does not get updated too often on the outlets forum so hopefully those deals will be around when I can actually make it out to a store one day.

Are the outsoles on the Phillipines colorway a translucent outsole or just a weird-looking darker solid rubber outsole? I think they look fantastic, but I do use Kobes to ball so outsole material matters for me.
