thx for the early review.
And bro, get yourself a pair of 9 EM lows and thank me later- most are on sale now- especially because your a PG and if your quick and making a lot of cuts and fast twitch movements. The 9 lows put the 8 to shame performance wise. I had been wearing the 9s to the...
The Good - ASGs to me were nasty anyways with that tab and overwhelming random silver...but I know a lot of people liked em' and the midsole/ousole is nice. Luckily, it seems like that overlay on the medial side that is breaking down is just the all-star game color way. Seems like the regular...
A few notes and responses to posts
- The theme of the shoe is "transparency"/ "Clarity" - so yes a lot of these- prob almost all of them will have transparent/clear outsoles.
- As for traction, I can't f'ing wait. From the SI article posted earlier -
Hundreds of tiny "nodules" make up a...
I was always in on the blues- simple yes, but love the shades of blue used and will be nice for socal summer ...AS I like but that crazy silver heel tab/tongue stand out like a sore thumb...these orange/purple things - hell NO. Can't wait to try the traction and cushion on these things. I...
I like the AS game color way other than that big silver tongue which is a bit much, tho I could live with that. But I can't live with the extra high huge silver heel tab. Add in the extra 20 bones....yea, Ill be picking up the blue lagoons and passing on these.
Agreed. They actually sold out pretty quick compared to the other EM lows - at least on ndc and some other online stores. Gotten quite a few compliments on them.
ha,yup, hated the highs when they came out and never caved or changed my opinion. Still think unless your a pretty tall dude - like 6'2 or 3 min. that they just look ridiculous and more like uggs/snowboard boots/boxing shoes, pick whatever one you like. Add in the fact I love balling/lifting in...
You've got to be f'ing kidding me. As a fan of the EMs - it really has been a **** show overall for the 9s, save a couple color ways. I feel like some of these are just a cruel joke, but nope, reality. And this is probably the last EM to drop. Good job Nike, good job. Thank god Im content...
I like the profile...looks like it'll perform like a beast. Too bad tongue went back to thin- cause one thing about the 8 is that tongue would slid to the side all the damn time unlike the 9 that wouldn't budge.
I think there's a lot more going on tech wise than people are giving it credit...
So that upper has me pretty intrigued. It looks really light and breathable...Not quite the same as the EM we saw on the 8 or the 9. This could be the best kobe ever imo...at least for what I like.
Well, if you like the highs, and being that they should be practically brand spanking new with only 2 wears I think that's a good price...go for it man- Just make sure to get some good pics to verify the "only worn twice" line.
Got my Thrillers in today. Wow. These in hand are absolutely dope...
This soooooo much. Last year in the 8s a lot of days I that I didn't play ball after lifting, I would go run....developed terrible shin splints-which I never really had before. And trust me they f'ing suck - affected my bball (jumping, cutting, everything), and any plyometrics or other sports...
Good looking out bro! I bought the moonwalkers and didn't like the fit as well as the EMs, and the purple just didn't do it for me compared to the Fades. The tongue was also just a bit too much for me, so I returned them. But, I couldn't hold out on these Thrillers anymore-they're just nice...
