I love the Kobe line of shoes. They got me back into the shoe game because of the low top performance. The 8's are by far my favorite. I like the 11's too, but I just wish the translucent rubber worked better or they had better colorways with solid rubber. From last Sunday Casual Friday

Got a pair from ebay. One shoe not so good on the tip.

On the tip of the shoe does the patent leather not extend under the rubber?

How well does the flyknit hold up against scuff's from playing? For example my Kobe 8 Elite's (green) would turn white around the toe from scuffs. I guess I slide around a lot.

If you really want Kobe's you can just trim the insole. Kind of like this except you won't be add the full length zoom unit and would be putting the insole on top.

I got my eastbay order today.  They came creased so perhaps it was a return.  Edit: Also found some odd creasing on the toe box of one shoe

My eastbay order shipped!

Eastbay seems to work again. The last couple of days I couldn't get my size to add to cart. I ordered a 10.5.

I'm a fan of those orange grey PP's!

I feel your pain, same thing happened to mine. Now I'm afraid all my non-clear coat Kobe's will suffer the same fate. The clear coat ones like the volts and milk snakes seem much more durable. The coating is hard, it can scratch, but doesn't peel like the others.

Someone on youtube bought full length air units from ebay for $10-15 and modified the Kobe Insert to fit the unit. Has anyone tried use plastidip to protect the front toe box rubber when playing sports? I might try it after scuffing my superheroes. You can get it in clear. Also I noticed that...

Dang you got your money's worth.

NOOOOOO!!!! And we lost the game too!   

Found a pair of Purple Platinums on DSG. Hopefully they come through. They failed last time I saw Volts. (FYI They are no longer on DSG)
