THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

[Wesley Pipes]

GUYS I'm kinda freaking out right now, I bought a pair of Moonwalker lows and after getting them in my hand and looking at them a little closer im a little bit sceptical.
Heres my list of gripes as formed by the official images released on the launch calendar:
On Nikes official images there is a pull tab and mine doesn't have a pull tab.
On the official images, the insole is black, but mine is purple.
On the official images, the flywire and laces are black, but on my pair they are both purple.

Im not sure if they are real or not. 
Thanks in advance

Pics?

Pics like he said

But from ur description, sounds ok. There were no pull tabs on released version.

Laces were purple. Can't recall insole color.

Fakes are very obvious if u look at toe box.

Thank you. Why were the pictures on the launch calendar different than the actual shoes that released? That makes no sense

What are the dots on the kobe 9's sole?

This was from Nike's description of the Masterpiece, not sure if its the same across the board on every pair though:

[h2]"Eric Avar: “Let’s include the Kobe code.”[/h2]

Performance result: Small details matter, both in basketball and design. The Kobe code is featured on each shoe, both on the lateral (outside) and medial (inside) sides of the midsole.  Code on lateral side translates to: ‘Masterpiece.’ Code on medial side translates to ‘Veni, vidi, vici,' an inspirational Latin phrase that translates to “I came, I saw, I conquered.”

I personally think the 11 won't equal the 9, even with Tinker at the helm could be wrong but I don't see it happening

Yep, it's the Kobe Code. They've had it as a detail since the Kobe 5. Every model has said something different. 5s said "Heart", 6s "Black Mamba", etc.
