Could tell from the initial pictures that these were going to be a step back from recent Kobes, performance wise. My biggest gripe was how low that the heel cup extends in the back: the plastic comes right down to the outsole, leaving no space for midsole compression upon impact. Now, I know...

Same here man, we all should've kept quiet about how strong BB has been from a performance standpoint! April releases are looking nice as well though, so I'm sure it'll be worth the wait

^ That black midsole though! Damn

Had been trying to hold off on picking up a pair because no colorway has really stood out to me, but when the ASGs went up for $180CAD, way below the pretty steep Canadian retail, I had to give em a go. After a few offseasons runs with my university team, they feel way better than the 9s and may...

Can't speak for Finishline, but I know for a fact that these will be excluded from all coupons and promotional offers from Brandblack themselves due to limited supply in their first shipment of product

Seems a little weird that these are winding up in Ross, did they even sell any pairs from that collection in stores? Thought they were pretty much online-exclusive

The brand themselves said they're doing all of these small releases to drive up the hype behind their product and you can't blame them; it's clearly working. I just struggle to understand the timing of it all, the "influencers" (wear-testers and reviewers) have all gotten pairs, 2 market...

I know they sold last year's models through JackThreads.com which ships internationally. As a Canadian, had been pretty salty over Brandblack not shipping internationally until I found that out.

Very limited (24 pairs) and only at a specific in-store location (the REVOLVE pop-up at the Grove in LA) for the December release. I was told February is when they will become more available to the public.

Hopefully they're still working that traction pattern, it's looking pretty suspicious. Would hate to see them take a step back after having such strong traction on the 8s and 9s. All in all, these definitely have potential to be special. Don't understand how people can hate the shoe based on 3...

From what I can tell, the weartesting period was started months ago with the final model having been sent out weeks ago. A soft launch could be a simple as a limited quantity in limited colorways being put up for sale on their own website. But back to the shoes themselves, the raptor los have...

I've heard rumors of November 2014, which from a sales perspective makes a little more sense. For many high school ball players, the season starts around October/November and wraps up around February. They have little to no supply of last year's models available anymore, so by waiting until...

Stock on Brandlblack's website dried up really quick. Seems like the only place you can find any pairs at all anymore is Jack Threads.

^ With a more dense sole such as that on the outdoors, wearing them in a little bit on an outdoor court can really improve the traction. Pavement will break-in the rubber faster than an indoor court. A couple sets of sprints in the parking lot then a wipe-down of the soles will work wonders...

Haven't tried with this location but every time I've tried to make a phone order from Nike within Canada they won't allow it

The PEs that are being worn in the playoffs are real nice... Damn

Not to go too far off course here but take a look at what happened with Dwayne Wade. Li Ning was relatively unknown at the time in North America, so they didn't have the star power of Nike or the legacy of Jordan Brand. What they did have was a ton of cash and a willingness to give signature...

PG does have a choice... It's Nike that has to worry here. As an upcoming sneaker free agent, PG has all the power in the situation as he can choose to go with whatever brand he wants (you can't honestly tell me he won't be getting multiple offer sheets this summer). He wears what he wears by...

Looks like those pics were taken in an Asian footlocker-type place, so safe to say they'll release. I'm really liking the look of em

$580 CAD?! Resell market here just gets crazier and crazier. $400 CAD is definitely reasonable
