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

[tatmantall]

I completely disagree with respect to foams. One if the worst shoes for me personally to ball in... Sounded like such a great idea... Felt like cinder blocks

 

[domosirchazzo]

unless nike suddenly wants to be generous, the lows likely won't look like that. no way at $160 will there be that much carbon fibre.

JM already confirmed the prices a while back

and with flyknit you're gonna need some sort of strong but light weight support in that area.

$160 lows will have EM and no carbon fiber for the heel cup at that price

the elite lows will have flynit, and yes, possibly carbon fiber.

You got a source or is this just speculation?

Because the first pic we've seen of the lows are em with carbon fiber.

 

[bowb4me]

160$ for a low with CF is about right. The 40$ increase for the other low is due to its use of Flyknit. IMO

it's something i speculated months ago but JM confirmed it.

JM said $160 for the lows.. no way we're gonna get flynit + CF for that price.

not with THAT much CF. CF in the sole, sure.. but all along the side with the heel cup? no way.

 

[noblekane]

Still no low pics?

I feel you. They better give us something on the EM to justify that 20$ price increase. Then again though this is Nike were talking about. Lol

 

[tatmantall]

Xx8se has huge chunk of carbon fiber for flight plate plus carbon fiber heel plates and is EM... All for 150, it's not unfathomable at all to believe the em9 will have that CF piece on it

 

[crazy ebw]

$225 elite
$200 fly knit low
$160 em low

 

[eightfivefresh]

I mean, that's obvious. What 85 is saying is these aren't a true low compared to the last models and shouldn't don that name because it's unjust.

Bingo, my bruva. 

Still, patiently waiting on the confirmed LOW Pics...

Will the elite highs be an exclusive only item? I'm thinking about buying for resale after Kobe retire.

Lol I know you're new and all, but the people around here don't really appreciate people buying shoes with the intention of selling it for more.

Yes the shoe will be limited. Doubt there will be a crazy demand for it just because Kobe is retired.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

About a month away... eager to see the availability of these.

That sole patter worries me...... Traction is #1 priority with me

 

[crazy ebw]

Traction is seriously above all else to me too. Them midfoot looks a little sketchy.

 

[rarefiedair24]

 
If it looks like that, I LOVE IT! the highs are an easy pass for me however.  

 

[blastercombo]

The overall shape of the shoe (for the highs at least) looks bulky for some reason to me.
