@NYC757How many Kobe X Elites can we expect to release?

GR Launch: 

5 High 

4 Low 

4 Mid EXT 

And a few QSs 

 

[nyc757]

Im surprised no one mentioned how smaller the swoosh is on the medial side of the shoe

 

[God]

Why? It's always like that. It's like that on a decent amount of Nike b ball shoes.

On what Kobe shoe is it like that? 

The IX the swoosh was the same size just in different locations, on the X its smaller

i went to try the ELITE today,,,fitting is good and TTS,,,i might cop them eventually for below retail if they allow me

 

[619destroyer858]

Yeah I agree. I have not been a fan of the X so far, but once the elite lows are available to the general public, things will pick up again. I will say this though; the appearance of the flyknit in the X (and even the HTM) doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing as did the IX's (even though it may be more functional).

On another note, saw these on IG

Dont expect any more than 4 GR cws of the Elite Lows and to boot there will be 4 Mid EXT 

The bonus is the XMAS KBX is a Elite Low this year 

I tried on the Elite High today and Im quite impressed they are probably the closest we will see to a true FK shoe, very light and comfortable. 

The outsole works with High but the back look pretty bland, so at that 225 price point Ill be sitting out until the next model. 

Im ready for KB XI   

Excuse my ignorance fam but how do you know this?

And are we gonna get a multi cw ala masterpiece?

Man I don't know we're all this hate is coming from. I ****** love these of course it's not as big as the 9 it's a up graded version of the 9 like a 9 elite elite lol. I hated the lunar inserts at least lebron s had zoom in them.

anyone know how much he charges for this conversion?  i just sent him a message, but was curious.  i'm ready to send mine in asap

For the 9s, he charged $350.00 to chop them into lows.

 

[goat4521]

Team Elites or 5 am's? Which is greater?

[goat4521]

Greater?

So I would assume you would pick neither?

Not at all. I just didn't understand what you meant by 'greater'.

I definitely like the Team Elite over the 5am... I'm just patiently waiting for the Rose Gold Elite to drop.

yeah greater in terms of purchasing. Think I might pull the trigger on the elites.

Nice find but I was talking in reference to the current High Elite and lst years. Just a observation of the two models

It was 300 some other customizer was charging 150 

 

[1nikefanboy]
