After a couple games...heel lockdown isn't as good as the 9 em I mostly play in..outrigger holds up well moving laterally..grip is better than the 10s but I prefer the 9s...didn't notice any problems with breathability..didn't really have to break them in..TTS for me...overall a solid bball shoe (imo)

You said more narrow in the earlier post. Specific to the toebox or in general?

just seen highlights of the game tonight and this is the quickest Kobe has looked all year. He was attacking the basket like crazy. I wonder if the XIs gave him the extra spring.

I'm glad that they did away with the asymmetrical look on the flyknit.  I think having the same color flyknit on both sides of the shoe looks much better.

I think he was just hyped to beat the Celtics but who knows. Look good, play good.

That purple pair is a cop on day 1.

I would say mostly in the toe box..the 9 em feel just a tad wider/ less narrow...they also don't pick up dust as much as the Xs do

So the traction is legit? Thats my main concern from looking at the pics

They look nice 

Besides the ugly *** heel of course 

 

[The U]

The reports of narrow sizing is going to make me try these in store first. It sucks having wide, flat feet.

 

[superstarlord]

 
Have these in black n' white and it's an instant cop for me.

1/27

 

[eteam o2]

Do we know what's on the heel tab of the furfle pair?

 

[mvplikekobe24]

Obviously the stiches on the left and a 24 on the right shoe

 

[superstarlord]

I'm hemming and hawing now over if I even want the Achilles pair, or just wait a few weeks and get the black/white ones as my first pair. I can see getting those purples if they release those as well. That would be parallel to the elite 9s that I copped, Beethovens & Moonwalkers, ended up selling the Thrillers so maybe ill stick with black/white & purple again.

1.) Love the Jordan XI
2.) Love theLebron Xi
3.) Love the Kobe XI

 

[superstarlord]

Wasn't sure if someone else had a thread going, but according to the Achilles page on NDC, ID options hit on the same day, so I started one:

[Kobekobe]

The white black pair is the worst XI.

 

[timelessflight]

i'll take pics later

 

[superstarlord]

Just got in some NDC gift cards, ready for the XI's to start rolling in!

 

[wallysmallz619]

I think traction is better than the 10s but not better than the 9s
