Use a black light.  Similar to the one that came with the DBV's.  You can get them on ebay for a couple of dollars.

Thanks man. They just been resting away in the boxes.

What movie is your Avatar from. Funny as hell.

13 in 6, 14 in 5 might consider 14 in IV but possible to do 13 depending on width of your foot

You paid about $450 for ASG's??? :x

To each their own.

That's the going price

13 for all if you wear a 13 for kobe 8. The 4,5,6, and 8 fit the same size to me. I'm flat footed so naturally my feet is wide

And btw for those who chat with a rep, post the name on here so we know who doesn't give discount codes and who does. 

 

[kicksb4tricks]

That's the going price

I guess man. If you got stacks, then there's no need to negotiate a price.

Let'.s not get ahead of ourselves....

that Lebron glow is crazy. glow on the Maestros are okay.

Danielle and Edie so far, their go to excuse is Nike never promised cards.

Danielle: This is the information that I just received today. NikeInc.com and the Nike.com Launch Calendar both said that the shoes in the NOLA Gumbo League Collection (LeBron 11 'Gator King', Kobe 9 Elite 'Devotion' and KD VI 'Illusion' would include tarot cards and a special box. However, consumers are telling us that they received no cards and a standard Nike shoe box. We don't have any boxes or tarot cards to give to consumers. •Apologize for the error.•We aren't offering any sort of a refund or discount, but the consumer can work with the original retailer to return the product for a refund if they'd like you can return your order and get a refund.

im thinking those who are getting 20% or anything are just getting really lucky

 

[domosirchazzo]

I would disagree.

Not in my sizes at least.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I wear 13 in the Kobe 9 as well.. my foot is fairly wide and even with the size 14's my pinky toe loses circulation and gets numb sometimes. I'm trying to hunt down these pairs now and I obviously don't want to buy something that I'm going to have a problem with so I'm just trying to really figure out the sizing before I do anything drastic... like shell out $400 for some preludes

Yeah but no matter how much money is in the bank, don't you just feel weird paying $400 for sneakers that are going to hit pavement or get stepped on at the court?

 

[eyedea]

I would disagree.

 

lil help 4 u

 

[smzsmz]

Damn now the mixed opinions start coming in

 

[xplosivejeff]

These gumbo boxes are all over the place.  My sz 10 gumbo box is smaller than my sz10 MP box.  In fact the ASG Kobe's barely fit in their box, very tight fit...

Wanna trade boxes?

 

[jace112]

I've just tried my ASG, and I think they run too big!!! I'm sooooo disappointed

I have Spizike, CP3, Hyperfuse... all the same size and they fit well

 

 

[tatmantall]

break em in. ithought the same at first, now I think they are perfect. its just a different feel for a BBall shoe

 

[lypac]

My size 9 box don't fit right either. Unless i'm not putting it away correct. I don't remember how they had it when I bought the shoes.

 

[jace112]

They won't go any larger after breaking them in? It's so stupid to have spent so much $ and ending with a shoe that doesn't fit perfectly

Your box is way too big for the shoes. Mines is tight as hell. What the hell going on in Nike. Boxes. They talking about Boxes!

Box is too big, shoes are too big...

 

[Hahahaha]

No, they're easy to find on eBay for $350-$400. Depending on the sizes, I've seen them for $320-$350.

Those other shoes you mention have different fits than Kobe's so its correct to be off on the sizing. Hell, the kobe 9 sizing is off with even the previous kobe models. I go half a size up on IV-VIII but these 9's were just a tad too long. 

break em in. ithought the same at first, now I think they are perfect. its just a different feel for a BBall shoe

but they're too big. Breaking them in will only make them fit even bigger. The only solution i see is to double sock although thats never been comfortable to me

I just spoke to Danielle too. and this is what she said:

Danielle: It was a miscommunication and the Tarot Card was not offered with the product. •Apologize for the error. At this time we don't have any tarot cards or boxes to offer. You can work with the original retailer to return the product for a refund if they'd like. I will be happy to make this suggestion to my team for you. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know of your interest in this. It’s through feedback like yours that we are able to grow and improve as a company, so I have passed it along to the appropriate department within Nike.  

ME:: And I know the Kobes are suppose to come with it too because my girlfriend was able to buy a pair at a local House of Hoops and that pair has the Gumbo box and the tarot card. I paid $245 for this shoe and I think I should get everything thats suppose to come with the shoe that I paid for or at least something for the mishap. I am deeply disappointed as it looks like this shoe came from a outlet selling b-grade defects with this generic white box. I will continue to be purchasing products from Nike but I was hoping for something for my troubles.
Danielle: I'll be right with you. 
Danielle: We aren't offering any sort of a refund or discount, but the consumer can work with the original retailer to return the product for a refund if they'd like. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

 try again tomorrow when its a different rep

Box is too big, shoes are too big...

They look like GS sizes in that box.
