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

[Magic33]

I don't have wide feet and the shoes were terrible. Not 1 pair owned.

How do you determine that from just trying a shoe on? Normally there is some break in period for basketball.

[C.Magneto]

Just found out today that I Torn my ACL on my right knee, stretched my MCL and damaged my Lateral Meniscus not even sure I should be buying all these kobes I guess if it makes me feel better ;-/ Cant wait for Summer to wear them with shorts not feeling how they go with pants....Yet.

I did pretty much the exact same thing a day before the MPs come out. Keep your head up things will get better man.

I had a pair for a few weeks and got rid of them. Shouldn't take longer than a 2-3 good runs to break shoes in

im ready for the lows

 

[islandkicks]

Lol so that guy who wanted over $580 for his mp's a few days ago has emailed me again. I knew he was bsing the whole time cause NO ONE in Toronto (or Canada in general) would spend they much on shoes. The sneaker game isn't that serious here.

I may offer $400. I know he's having a hard time moving these shoes here and would prob only make around $400 if he sold them on eBay (after fees)

$580 CAD?! Resell market here just gets crazier and crazier. $400 CAD is definitely reasonable

 

[kobeoverbron]

not gonna lie, I like the lows. They look very similar to the 8s but I'm guessing the fit is improved even more since the elite 9s fit better than the 8.

I'm most likely getting the Bruce Lee-esque pair. I don't think I will be able to pass those up.

 

[kobeoverbron]

High top pics release: "too high"
release date: "they didn't make enough" "bring on the lows"
Lows surface: "They look clunky" "high tops look better"

 

[navster]

wonder if manny will wear these on his next fight

pretty sure he would wear boxing shoes 

 

[be like mike]

Another Kobe PE.

Could these be the pair that derozan was wearing?

I like. Slightly different from the NRG's. NRG's had speckled midsole and snakeskin tongue. IMO The gold swoosh on these makes it better than the NRG's

They need to release a simple black/white CW and make it a GR.

Some more pics and angles of the PE pair.  Also comparison pics showing differences between these and the NRG's

Liking the PE pair up there

ALOT

 

[dtrain12]

They release those I will no longer miss the mps

 

[eightfivefresh]

That weird mesh toebox on the lows doesn't look right.... Shoulda kept the whole upper EM.

The whole upper is EM.

Believe it or not, that's just the "mesh pattern" of the Toebox, a different weave.

It is "Engineered MESH"...

 

[dwr73244]

Can I ask why!?  Just mainly an all black shoe!?  I like em but not loving them more than the MP by any means

 

[t4t3r]

That PE is super clean.

 

[nsquared8]

Men's Masterpiece taken off Flightclub - Does that mean its going to get tougher and tougher to find a pair?

 

[tatmantall]

Yes

 

[nsquared8]

Hope just died.

 

[haydenhouser]

Very excited for the Kobe IX low... I don't know if I love the yellow color scheme. Some of the other colorways that I've seen are more appealing.

 

[klrossjr]

Those Derozan pair could be the black and metallic gold pair that drop 6/6...I been asking if we had pics cuz I want.

 

[mribonit]

Details FCFS here, everybody is releasing them, thats good cause they'll sit even longer than the Perspectives cause i saw the Perspectives still in stock last weekend. And then the Lows come out next weekend so i can wait a couple week to get the Details lol, and to think that all of the KOBE 9 elites where gone be limited, how foolish of me

Interesting debate on sole collector if the kobe line will have an impact down the road off court like jordan retros

The answer is no. 1-8 are not popular and are pretty much trash for the most part.

5 and up only are popular because of the limited colorways

 

[lewi1913]

 

7s had probably the best color executions next to the 5 but the worst performance. Picked up VNDS galaxies for $200 last night

gonna scoop cloaks for $180 today. Two of the dopest concepts in the entire line

and the xmas cheetahs

I tried to ball in them and it was a no go, but casual was comfy after break in.

Love my xmas, cloaks, all stars, sharks, PDF
