    Are the Kobe 11 Elite still in stores?

    And how is the Kobe 11 Black Space traction?

    Anyone in East LA area? Just got a tip on some Avars on the Hash wall for $99 + 20%. Looking for an oop on a size 11.5. Help me out and keep the 20% for yourself. Got PayPal ready to go!

    Havent seen any minus a stray pair here or there on a hash wall. Black space traction is great, I have had no problems, and they are currently my go-to shoe (until i finish breaking in these AD Mids and Crazy Explosive 2017s)

    I switch between all 3 of the midsoles that came with the XI's... full Lunars, Zoom heel and full Zoom. They're all pretty cool but I think I like the stock configuration the best. Full Zoom is fun but bounces back slower in the forefoot while cradling it less. Full Lunars seem a little heavier and the heel impact protection is missed. IMO they got it right off the rack.

    Still, fun to switch it up.

    I worked for Champs as a manager in Portland. Apparently that Puente Hills Outlet is a clearance store. We would ship our old inventory there. I'm pretty familiar with southern California after living in the IE for a number of years. Seems like a weird location personally.

    Hey guys.
    Saw earlier all the people that were removing the kobe alt shroud and it looked awesome, was wondering if the same could be done with the kobe icon?
    I noticed it has a similar shroud on the top but im not sure if its all possible, so im a little curious

    This might not be what you're looking for, but yes, I tried all three in my Kobe VIII's. Of course the lunar bottomed out quickly, but the rest of the shoe was fine, so I picked some up on ebay. I also had Kobe IX's at the time, so I wanted to prepare for when the lunar quit on me.

    Honestly, the only one that really meshed well was the green one, heel zoom and foam. Nightwing and a few other people said they were perfect fits or something along those lines, but that isn't accurate in my opinion. There is some minor pinching between the insole and upper, and the way the insoles flexed didn't really match with the shoe. Not unplayable, but far from ideal.

    The blue was heel zoom and segmented forefoot zoom, and the orange was full-length air. The orange was so stiff it was almost unplayable and I didn't want to bother breaking them in. The blue just didn't feel right. Impact protection was fine, but they didn't move well with the shoe and I felt a lot of heat from friction and numbness playing in them.

    They might work really well with other models, maybe the IX or XI. I only kept the green one and sold the other two. That was my experience.

    I know it's an extreme long shot, but does anyone happen to have the style code I can give Nike to see if any outlets have a pair of the eulogy laying around?
