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

[tr23]

Don't know if this was asked before but anyone noticed that unlike the 8s the kobe 9 XDR's sole looks exactly the same as the regular ones? are they really "more durable rubber?" :/

It's basically the same traction pattern but a different material or rubber I believe

Fk lows don't have a pull tab.

Kinda wish it did. Somehow it looks nice aesthetically with it popped out like on NDC pics. I don't use the pull tab so I can see that it can be useless.

I want someone to post Beethoven's and Detail's side by side to convince me that there is enough of a difference to have both.

One is white and black...

And the other is gray and black.

Underlay on Red fk's still looks like it could be a mix of colors with black. I'm hopeful. I wish they had a different color overtop FK on the medial side which it looks like they dont.

I really do want to use one of the  codes but I cant come to terms with taking it from some person who got them legit.

Well went ahead and ordered an ID with my code, figured I better use it before it got snatched up by someone else. Was planning on using it on the Beethoven's but this will do I suppose.

What's the lace length on the Elite lows for a size 13?

My size 14 was 49 inches.

 

[GrQQvy_Que]

So is NDC going to let us use a coupon on the beethovens? Did they let that fly with the hypergrapes?

 

[s dubl]

If you have a discount code for ndc, it can be used on anything. They might pull the plug on using it for IDs tho.

 

[gtmorgan23]

After holding them in hand I'll be getting them for sure.

Those Red Flyknit lows are looking 

. Beethoven's have been looking good for months. I've got a feeling I'm gonna be picking up all Flyknit lows. Which isn't a bad thing lol

 

[loubetv]

peeps gettin banned from ndc for those codes use a dummy

 

[sprite remix]

 
That's what is stopping me from picking them up.  I haven't bought shoes with that much white since K-Swiss and Air Force 1s were in style.

I would have preferred that they look more like the Details.

lol same…woulda been way hotter with more grey/black in the weave and if they kept the outer swoosh black….easy pass not feeling them at all

What would you guys recommend I use to color in the White swoosh on the Beethovens? I'm kinda disappointed they changed the retail version of the show to that white swoosh.  It looked perfect in my eyes with the black swoosh on the outside

From pics, I more like white swoosh tho. More clean.

On the edge of my Kobe 9 EM soles, they seem to stick out a bit so it isn't exactly a leveled sole. Compared with my kobe 9 high elites, the edge of the soles are more even. Is this normal for the kobe 9 EM soles? (I only care because the first day I balled in the lows, I slid and did the splits and was concerned that this may have an effect on it?)

 

[the red model]

I had the same problem. I kept tripping on the the outrigger for some reason. I also found that the grip would literally hold my foot in place, It took some getting used to. I ended up spraining my knee pretty badly though :/ I don't want to blame the shoes because I like them so much.

If you're talking about the outer edge near the front, that's the outrigger. It's there for lateral support to help keep you from rolling your ankle.
