OFFICIAL KOBE IX NIKEID-- NO BUYING/SELLING DISCUSSION--R.I.P KOBE 9 ID

I've tried a couple different kicks like Jordan 28SE and some KD's. Hated the Flight Plate system. Everyone swears they are the most comfortable, and they are pretty comfortable but they take away from the court feel drastically. The KD's are good but the toe box is HUGE... The only shoe I really "love" is the Kobe line. Been playing in them since the Kobe V dropped and loved them since. For the position (swingman) I play they're perfect. I did go with some XDR outsoles this time around though. Don't get me wrong, I love the feel of lunarlon but the durability is sh*t. Come on Nike, hook it up.

 

My take on the Tiffany C/W:

 

Why not drop in the lebron xi insole? Pricey, but not 1200 pricey

 

Yo @navster  you keeping us in the dark with your pairs?

Would love to see what you cooked up

 

I'm extremely excited to see people get their pairs in.

Once I see some

I know for sure i'll end up copping

 

My wife is gonna be pissed! Lol I will have at least 4-5 pair of these easily. I actually like the simplicity of the silhouette of this model. After owning the vis and the 8's I'm already sold on the ixs.

 

did that in the Kobe 9 Elite... it raises the heel too high and kills the heel lock down. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone bc you can sprain your ankle easier without a great heel lockdown.

they're a couple screen shots of 3 or 4 I think. The others will be surprises that I'll post up when they are delivered

 

Please report back on the durability of XDR on the 9s, they didn't seem to help that much for outdoor use on the Kobe 8 ID's I would assume it would be the same for the 9's.  

 

Wow way to many options!! Not sure where to start

Guessing the 8's will be taken down in a week or two?

KVN

 

Gotta get my bread up for a few pairs. This is what past Kobe ID models should have been.

 

I always wished they added a powder blue to the Kobe 8 ID so i could make a Chargers colorway......

 

So these are Zoom Air?

 

You're joking right?   

 

That's what it says in the description on nikeid.com. Weren't the 9 EMs that just came out only Lunarlon?

 

As for the wife saying "too many shoes" just constantly hit them with "I been had those", and walk away

 

at least its only a 3-4 week wait... cant wait

 

If the regular GRs are full length lunarlon, why would they put zoom? My bad if that's the case Jman.

 

.....My man.  Spoken like a true champ!

 

I just double checked and it does say zoom air..  not sure if this is a mistake? Bc it does say lunarlon below that. Or maybe zoom is part of the $205 price?

Praying for zoom 

 

Your guess is as good as mine.

 

I saw that Jman, maybe there is, but the Kung Fu's never mentioned anything about zoom air. We need a confirmation from Nike. They're messing with us again. Lol

 

yeah don't be surprised if it's a mistake esp for a new product. Nike is notorious for dumb sh*t

 

I know they didnt. That's what caught my eye. Someone verify! Lol
