Looks like that's the new box in the background and I'm disappointed in it. The silhouette looks great on foot but I'm having trouble warming up to multi Flyknit. It's looking more and more like I'll keep my Masterpieces on ice while waiting to see what the rest of the color ways look like.
Before release people were complaining about the denims running small so I went up a half size from my other Xs which was a mistake. They're still wearable so I'd say they run TTS. Given how stiff the upper and laces are a half size down sounds like a bad idea
I finally got some Tech Pack gear- the pants and a jacket in this great brushed cement kind of finish. The Kobes are the star of the show though.
Extra glamor shot...this would be so much better with a real camera.
One of the interesting things about the Flyknit runners is that you can custom fit/shrink them to your foot. All Niketowns (I think) have a steam box just for this and will do it for free. They haven't mentioned this with the Kobe 9 which makes me wonder if it's too different or if they're...
We don't want it to be true but I'm almost positive they're going to be prelude numbers. At the most I'd think XX8 numbers ie 2 size runs at a limited number of retailers. From what I'm hearing the Melo 10 is right around there too but they're not as desired.
I've been wondering what they're gonna do for the BHM Kobe. It's right before the Masterpiece 9 and we haven't heard anything about an 8 so does that mean it's going to be a Venomenom? It would make sense given how they're pushing those
I think my Pressures yellowed after one wear. It's not common at all but it happens sometimes. I like those better without the blue tinted soles so that one worked out but I have plenty of shoes I want to keep icy waiting for dry weather.
So few hit the market that it's hard to set value, especially on split packs. You also have to wonder whether or not it's a B grade. Flight Club has the lows for $1250 which means the seller gets $1k and that's DS.
Basically it's over priced but at the same time I'm pretty confident someone...
It just dawned on me that chroma isn't just like cloak, it *is* the same thing. Outside of ID were the big bangs and champ pack lows the last GITD LeBrons? The lows had some chroma on the midsole too.
Jeez, lace lock, spare laces, extra textures, GITD, invisibility cloak/color shifting upper... that's almost the full bag of tricks. It doesn't do it for me though. Have they done the cloak effect on LeBrons yet? Been a while since they did GITD
My favorite part has to be Memphis's weekly announcements of how much of a problem *this* week's prelude is. I'm still not sure when the discussion shifted from complaining about the $200 to saying $300 is a deal. Nike's aggressive price pushing has hit some bumps (posites galore, Nike+...
6 pairs between me and my bro with no issues. More casual wear and the load is spread out but still, they're not self destructing at the rate you'd think by reading this thread
Kobes from about a week ago and just the other day:
I've been looking forward to picking up a leather jacket at year's end and the time finally came.
This one actually came up early on in the long search. It looked ok on display and seemed quality but others impressed me more, especially given...
Oh boy, hadn't gone out on a big retro release in a while. It took forever to check out with my Kobes. The colorway rocks but in hand I don't see what justifies the premium price unlike the other preludes so far. They do feel great on foot though, TTS/spot on with the 8
