Initially i wanted pop arts when i saw pics on NDC, but after seeing them in person.... They are too "laker-ish" for my tastes. I'll wait for the next EM c/w.
I hated them at first. But this pic pulled me in:

I'm a Hornets fan...and our team is actually coming back next season

I honestly think the stores that didn't sell them shipped em back and then they put them online. The nike I usually go to doesn't have any of the bruce lees up when I know they didn't sell out. It may explain why the larger sizes didn't restock. I could be wrong im just guessing though.

Im really hoping my size is up there on Wednesday. That's payday lol

I wonder if I could wipe that stupid print off the Gold Elites w/ acetone, :lol:
 
 
Damn, should have waited for these. Ended up buying the Crimson Lows instead :/
Black and Crimson look better IMO. Philippines won't be as wanted now that they are releasing in the US. Unless it's a limited thing but still I like the black crimsons.
 
Hope nobody paid ridiculous resale prices on those Philippines EMs...

Best looking EM lows so far, glad they're making it state side.  These and the easters are the best looking EM lows so far in my book.

Loving the 3 pairs of Elites I have for hoops (2 would have been overkill enough..) and am still holding out for those FK lows.

I hear that the air cushion has had a lot of problems of poppin out. Any experience with that? Dude that works at footlocker had said he's seen 6 returns with that problem.
I've literally burned through 4 pairs of XX8s, and 1 pair of XX8SEs over the course of a year that Nike was kind enough to credit me on when they went south.  2 of them popped in the left heel, the other 3 in the forefoot area on the same foot.  You think I'd learn after the 2nd time, but I hated everything out on the market at the time other than the Kobe 8.  Keep in mind, I'm only 6'1" 188 lbs, and a below the rim amateur/casual rec player.  

Durability issues aside, the XX8s are phenomenal for hoops, but I'm done with air/zoom cushioning for ball as a result.  Thankfully Kobe IX Elites worked out great, for $225 a pair they better!

It's definitely a restock. They were gone the day they dropped[/quote]

Did nike tweet a link about the restock?
