Alright ive been ballin in my EXTs all week gym & outside....lil review if yur interested?
GYM- sole isnt as plyable due to it bein a XDR sole, but very lil slippage, midsole exact same as any Kobe 9, comforable, very very minimal creasing surprisingly, breathability is shockingly very good, the holes in the leather help tremendously, only flaw with EXT IMO is the heel lock down isnt as good as the other Kobe 9s, prob cause it has a soft leather lining, other than that id rate it overall a 8.5 out of 10
OUTSIDE PLAYGROUND- Sole traction is wayyyy better than the other Kobe 9s on outside court due to the XDR outsole, still doesn't have as great of lockdown in the heel as the other Kobes but nuthin terrible/annoying. Id rate it a 9 out of 10
OVERALL- 9 out of 10...almost perfect basketball shoe for indoors and outdoors.

^have you ever tried lacing your kicks with the runners loop? Usually eliminates heel slippage

I tie nearly all my lows this way. It really does make a noticeable difference in lockdown IMO.

No offense meant to anyone in here before someone jumps and assumes I'm hatin, but this thread is DRAGGING lately! I'm so over this red pair that hasn't even come out yet I'm just tired of seeing it. Everyone's basically trading hilarious pictures and jabs and randomly talking about football until something worthwhile comes out
I'm just holding on to some hope that there will be a nice fall/winter colorway that can easily be worn without setting off a smoke detector, and we see some decent flyknit color mashups. We got a purple shoe, a white shoe, and a red shoe - thats a "what the" kobe in a bad way. I'm just gonna start calling these the "what could've beens".

Just the thought of a grinch flyknit 9 makes me smile from ear to ear! If done correctly it could be amazing.

It should be an easy release but for those that need a little help.

Nice pic. I like the China but can't do EM. Had to sell all mine off and I love the Bruce Lee. They crease way to easily, get dirty entirely to fast, and are impossible to keep clean.

They look so cheap and bad IMO, waste of PP pack...

Some people are fans of the EM pairs, I just can't get on board with them.

Thanks! I'm not worried about creases on a shoe like this. Then again I'm not worried about creases on any pair. These will be balled in anyways so they won't look nice for much longer.
Thanks

Dumb question but which version of the 9's is considered the "main" version?
The highs are "Elite"
The flyknit lows are "Elite Low"
And the EM's are "EM's" attached to the name
The EXTs are special edition
