Had no idea but they are also doing full family size on the kobe tomorrow

 

[MambaMentality824]

So are these gonna be tough to get in stores tomorrow or should I have no problem going to the store and copping during the day?

No problem. Excitement for a new sig is always high. I'd be shocked if they sold out everywhere even with the positive reaction the 11 has got.

Quite the conundrum , really love the Achilles CW
Just got the Xmas 10 and I think I have to pass on another black/red shoe

 

[goat4521]

I copped the white version. View media item 1861409

Can't wait to get my black joint next week. Is it heavy?

 

[thapointguy]

Yea I got the ones at the forum. Got lucky and took a chance to wait where this all started for the mamba

Is that your size or you got the size that was already in the box?

That's smart thinking but how long did you wait?

Congrats and welcome to NT!

Yeh I'm not too sure but the Footlocker AU website's colour description for the pair on Jan 30 is white/black-court purple. Would love to see an inline colourway!

yeah the pictured purple pair is end of feb so hopefully thats another colourway end of jan

Played in my size 10 PURPLE yesterday morning. walked around today in my size 10.5 RED pair.

play time : 2 hour 

court condition : light dust

First impressions:

cushion is better feeling than 10's. zoom is great on the court as well as casual walk around . Lunarlon in forefoot felt great, it is low to the ground same as 10's. The drop in these shoes seems more prominent than the 10's. 

Lockdown feels great, no heel slip. 

Fit is still a little funky, I like my size 10 (half size down from kobe 8, 9, 10,) better than the 10.5 because the toes on these are long and pointy. Width in the forefoot is tight but loosened up while playing in them.

Traction was not good, had to wipe dust multiple time during games. Same court i used kobe 10 and Lebron 13, which grip very well. I am waiting to see if the translucent soles are the problem. I am hoping they will start to perform better after more court time.

They look Great!

disapointed in traction as ive struggled with the X, literally wore my 5 rings thursday night and almost broke my ankle i hate the height of 360 zoom shoes though, low as possible.

Yup. the BHM for sure and then waiting to see what the All-stars look like. Then whatever cw's come out. hopefully a USA cw. I'll probably get like 6-8 different released cw's in total for the XI's and then like 1 or 2 id's
