I love the way these shoes look and they're comfortable as hell but I really don't think that I can wear them for basketball. I played in them for the third time today and I just don't feel right wearing these compared to my Kobe 11's. My type of game as a point guard where I explode to the rim pretty often I feel like these are kinda unstable when making some cuts and they don't feel right when I'm going to jump up for a layup. I kinda feel like I'm just too high off the ground. I love that the Kobe 11's I can really feel the court while also having great cushion as well as amazing traction. That type of shoe seems perfect for me and I can't see myself wanting to switch back to these.
These might be a better shoe for a player who's more of a jump shooter or even a post player rather than an explosive point guard type.

Lol I didnt try calling them to explain. Do you think they would have cared that the specific shoe was widely known to have that issue? I think they might have a limit within a time frame before you get the "last time" email

Got these in from goat today. Bought them a day before someone in here posted that footlocker is restocking them
I went tts and they fit perfect for me. Love the full length zoom and I can't wait to hoop in them but I'm a little worried after seeing @XplosiveJeff popped his zoom bag.

Mic drops look super dope if you wear blk and Grey w them. The color coordination makes them look even better.
Saw a dude play in them the other day. Dude looked like Klay Thompson out there. All he kept saying was how comfy they were.

I wasn't feeling the mic drop at first because of the three different zones of patterns in the forefoot, but it's really growing on me. Hoping to pick them up for 50% off at the employee store next month if they still have them lol.

KD 9 Pre-heat will be in store only. FTL is treating this release like a hyperstrike. Sucks that they only have 1 size 14 in stock at my local one
