I wanted to like these, but

Ended up getting the Harden's instead

The tongue holes on the Blackouts, are they purple or 3M?

 

[aceboogie90]

I really like the Kobe X. If I strike out on the BOB or Liberty 10s this weekend I'll pick up a pair of the 5AM Flights or Blackouts for sure!

Nike upped the quantity, raised prices, and they are now the ultimate reseller.

And many predicted it. Fine my me. I'm buying more shoes now than ever. I just know when to wait for a sale. I will be grabbing the Blackout pair next weekend no doubt. My first Kobe X.

 

[jflick]

Any sites with the blue lagoon for under $160 (ruvilla's price)?

 

[cachooka man]

I like the All Stars but I don't $200 like them. The $245 price tag to ID them is also pretty ridiculous. The Blackouts will definitely be my first X though.

Fighting the urge to cop. The only thing stopping me is the fact that the extra fuse might start to peel.

Same here bro, but then I think I can hoop in them for a couple of months, they peel, and back to Nike they go for a $200 voucher and boom, another pair of shoes.... *scratches head, grabs car keys, drives to House of hoops*

 

[kimterran]

Can you buy from house of hoops or wherever and return it to Nike if it peels like that?

 

[arabianite3]

Yep.

You can always try.  In this case, it's difficult to say because nothing is actually breaking or not functioning as it should but they would likely honor it under warranty.  Kobe 8s were rejected for tears in the EM due to them saying it was wear and tear.  Worst case is you just peel away all the layering to get to the mesh underneath.

A brick and mortar Nike store (Niketown, Factory, Clearance Store) will give you a store credit gift card for the current selling price.

Actually thought the same thing about getting to the Mesh if it peeled.

and lowered the quality.

$140 back in the day got us a solid pair of Kobe V or VI that didn't have some stupid foam for comfort.

i can't believe they want $245 for a fuse nikeid Kobe shoe.. $245 got us fly knit just a few days ago!!

That's why no Kobe's for me this year. Of course, I will still be in this thread.

Not even close. Nike really dropped the ball on what seems to be Kobe's final sig 

First model I'm sitting out since the 4

The Kobes are sitting in every footlocker I have here. Easy pick up for the 5ams and plenty of the Allstars. Passing on both. Crazy how these arent selling like the older models used to. Is it partially due to Kobe being hurt and the Lakers being garbage? or is this 10 model average?

I like the shape of the x a lot especially the toe shape... Is the model equal to or better than the 9? No way
