I think this is just a concept someone made. They do look good though.

Nah, that colorway is just ugly, don't care about the HTM part of it, I honestly don't even care about any of the htm shoes I'm sure a lot agree

I like the CW personally. I'm so tired of South Beach, Green Glow and now Gamma Blue. When Nike finds a color they like, they beat it into the ground.

I would love to see these in a Brave Blue CW like the LeBron 11 AvM. Purple Fade like the 8 is without question a CW that should return on the 9.

How is Nike releasing these? And what I mean by this is that are these highs the super limited version and the general release shoes are mids/lows. Are there a high, mid and low? Kind of confused about this.

Some of us are "feeling them" because we don't care what they look like with jeans... We actually play ball In them and don't just buy them to look "pretty"

Then how are you feeling them if you don't care what they look like? You haven't tried them on or played in them yet....

Because they look supportive of the ankle for once.... We will see once they release though won't we? Hopefully not another floppy piece like the 7

"Ankle support" doesn't really support your ankle....... This is a kobe shoe thread so the whole hi top vs low top thing was bound to happen...

Excuxse me. I meant we play ball, in our basketball shoes, and since these are in fact, basketball shoes, many of us are looking at the design from that perspective and plan to purchase with the intent of playing in them. I hope I was able to break it down in small enough words for you to understand.

True. Chuck Taylor's are high with 0 ankle support lol. The hight is no indication of ankle support. I'll take the high over the low on these any day. I'm burnt out on lows. Kobe 8 and KD 6 just name a few.

i sound like a broken record
ankle support ≠ the cut of the shoe
ankle support = how low your foot sits to the ground
sorry for large font, but i hate misinformed people.

Really, Ankle support doesn't support your ankle? I guess if your referring to certain shoes like the 7 that maybe correct, but actually a true high and some mids do provide support, which is some preference while other players who cut more, I.E. Kobe, tend to want something that is less restricitive, allowing more lateral mobility, while compromising support. It comes down to what is more important.

Wrong. Ankle support comes from stability. Stability actually comes from the bottom of the shoes (shape of out sole, how low to the ground).

Don't know if anyone have mentioned this already but it looks like that sleeve part of the shoe scoops pretty far down, almost all the way down to the Achilles. I wonder if the shoe will still almost feel like a low top even with that sheath coming up so high

ok your right... I guess all players of all sports should switch to low tops, and construction workers should start wearing lowtop boots, because the wool has been over their eyes for so long. You might want to send them all personal emails to let them in on the news. keep it moving.
In a matter of seconds I found this in a search:

There are shoes with a high cut that provide ankle support. I don't care what a shoe is made of or how it's made. If it's a true low that doesn't come to the ankle then there is 0 ankle support.
