I'll bite if other cw are this price. For now I'll wait for one that I deem must buy, might be awhile.

cause telling stories is more important. also traction is hardly an issue on NBA courts, those are maintained daily, therefore they can get away with it.
the 9's had the best traction out of all the kobe's despite not having the common herringbone pattern.

I'm in that conundrum, too. I have pretty average width feet and my TTS 9.5 feels good everywhere except my outer 2 toes are touching the the insole where it "inclines" if that makes any sense (shoes aren't tight/restrictive) ... Had a similar issue with the 9s, too. Oddly, I don't have wide feet. Size 10 doesn't feel that much bigger though either. I'm retty sensitive about going up a .5 since I made a huge mistake with the 8s buying copious amounts of those in a 10.5, because I thought 10s were too tight originally. Been so lazy, I still haven't found 10.5 for 10 trades
All that said, any of y'all go .5 size up? I'm still on the fence. Originally i was going to buy a 9.5 from NDC and take her for a trial, but ... 9.5s may or may not be gone. I'm still hoping it was a "fake sellout," but Nike hasn't put sizes back; however it looks like FTL and companies have FSRs.
I've never had an issue doing size swaps for the exact same shoe; however, it's always been with runners. I'm sure that makes no difference though.

Keep in mind that they're using translucent outsoles, which are usually worse than solid. The only way to know for sure is if you got the Achilles and the BHM and see if the solid outsole makes a differences.

Word I said the same thing. That's why I've been waiting to give a full conclusion on the traction, but as of now it's just not doing it for me

You're right. Maybe more break in time needed. I remember people clamoring about the xx9 traction.

lol the 11's are so simple compared to the other 3 shoes, heck it doesnt even look like a performance shoes, it looks more like a lifestyle shoes.

Ok, so I just went to NIKE Town and tried on a couple pairs and I'm good with my TTS, which is 9.5.
I tried on a 10.5 since that's what I wore in the Kobe Xand they fit like boats. It was incredible how much room they had. Not to mention after they are broken in, they'll fit even bigger.
Then I tried on a size 10, since I wore them in the Kobe IX and they were also big. It had a lot of room in the toe box, so that's a no go after they're broken in.
Then I tried on a 9.5 and they fit perfect! I have wide feet and my pinky toes could breath, with elite socks on. I'm glad I was able to clear up the sizing issue with the BHMs dropping on Monday.
Hope this helps somebody.

I got the wrong size in the BHM. 
I just tried the black/red pair at the mall. If anyone is in the L.A. area and is going to buy a size 10.5 locally in the BHM, please PM me. I wouldn't size down. These fit TTS. I have a normal foot, by the way.

Alright guys, I went down .5 from my usual 11.5 in kobes, and the size 11 works! And I have a wider foot at that...they are snug fitting straight out the box but I know these will break in nicely...man I'm in LOVE
Size 11 is my true tts for any shoe (Jordans, Nikes etc)...this is my first size 11 Kobe model

Nike can't **** this traction up, Im positive it will break in eventually

It seems like with the 9's Nike would've known how to do really good traction
