how much are they?

 

[winzz]

these are limited.. retailers raffle them for vip members first, the general public will wait for the leftover pairs after the window-period for purchase.

nicely done by nike, so the official name of that shoes is nike kobe 9 EM Phillipines same thing happen with last year nike gave chinese a bunch of love with releasing those kobe 8 spark

retail is 8495 Philippine Peso that is around $190... one retailer even had an event to launch these. and I agree ^ they could very well be the sparks version of the 9s

 

[dark steel]

how much are they?

PHP 8,495 = $191.19 converted.

 

[five05]

im not really sure... that's what im confused. i got mine from my spot which just labeled them as Kobe 9 EM Premium.. but the other one with the launch event called them the Philippines Kobe 9, they even had that card in the box. Im getting mine tomorrow so Ill compare

 

[dark steel]

just won the raffle for the Kobe 9 EM Premium aka Kobe 9 Philippines.. today.... is a good day!

Congrats fam!

I hope somehow, someway they release here in the U.S.

 

[tr23]

Didn't those already release in Europe? So I don't think it's an Asia exclusive

 

[five05]

but with their design elements, i think they are really inspired by the Philippines and Filipinos's love for basketball.. that flip-flop on the sole got me sold on that idea. People here start/learn playing ball in their flip flops lol

Congrats fam!

thanks fam! got lucky... still waiting for that confirmation for the Jordan Future Glow tho lol (sorry out of topic)

 

[Hahahaha]

Just realized, that guy with all the Kobe's is missing the Influences.

 

[tr23]

I don't think those have come out yet

A little off topic but I know you guys will appreciate this. Managed to find these again for 250. Can't wait to hoop in them. The most comfortable kobes to date. But I played in my Inspirations, a couple days ago, weren't too bad very comfortable, and underrated

 

[Van Nostrand]

Influences dropped in Europe earlier this month.

That makes sense, but I don't see how the upper is Philippines inspired.

May be because kobe has a large following in the Philippines.

how much are they?

Around 188usd

"A sketch of the 'tsinelas' (slippers) is integrated into the translucent outsole of the shoe and serves as a subtle wink at how much Filipinos love the game of basketball.

yup that's clearly one of reasons, and these days Nike really look up to Phillipine market and good luck for them in this summer FIBA world cup

From the store that released them here

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

Interesting how these released in Europe before the Philippines.

 

[lypac]

Yup stole some thunder from the official release. We got 5 Cw from last years PP but cant get 1 this year.

 

[onemandynasty]

I wonder why as well. Plus china usually gets the first dibs on new colorways
