My gripe is that they gave us good laces on the Details but crap laces on every other cw and made it seem like the Details were "premium" when in fact all of them are $225 Elites

Buddy who was used to 8s just picked up his first 9. He was at cash register and when the lady said $243.00 I literally heard him say "wait whaaaaaa" and double take. Cali tax just hits harder higher these kobes get Fml lol

*It also depends where in Cali too as tax differs from LA and OC as an example. Just speaking for here at least.

What logic is this? If they were over looked they would still be on the shelves and not in resellers hand.

for most people this is the case but not all. You just gotta try them on and compare the lows to the elites and the 8s. The 8's I was a perfect fit true to size and sizing down for the elites is perfect for me. I also sized down on the lows and they are perfect. Initially bought tts for the lows from people saying it fit like the 8 and they ran too big just like the elites.

How much room do you have in front of your toe in the toe box? With your size down btw.
Just curious because TTS to me is when the shoe fit you with a little room in front of your toe.

Sparks are dope but the HTMs **** on the sparks. Not the white pair, but the black pair for sure.

Personally I think the white pair > than just about any Kobe as far as aesthetics... Still not a fan of the fly knit in terms of performance, but the gum white is one clean looking pair of shoes, never worth the insane prices they want for them though... I just can't throw money out the window like that anymore.. Few years ago ther would not have been a second thought but... Older I get the more I realize it's just not worth it at all

Picked up my Showtimes last night and put them on when I got home, man those are comfy (my first 9). I love the insoles but they squeak a bit.
Patiently waiting for my purple laces to arrive this week and then I'll be set.

Hey guys I hate to ask a sizing question, but I'm about to pull the trigger on some bruce lees (9 low em). Im a 12.5 snug in kobe 8s. Cant find any 12.5s for a good price so I have to choose half down or half up. What do you guys think? BTW they are for hooping. Thanks

Love the color of the flyknit on the gum bottom HTMs. Just not feeling the black on em. They're clean though. Wish all 4 would've released in the US.

Here's an indoor shot of the lace swap.
Walked into Foot Locker Chula Vista and lucky they had a whole bunch of sizes of the Showtime.
It is a Laker CW. And here in San Diego there's just mostly Laker haters so kinda not surprised this one is sittin.
