Played in them once yesterday. Traction was great, didn’t wipe once. Floor could have just been clean tho. Cushion was comfortable, pretty low to the ground, nothing really special tho. Only played in them once so things can change but I enjoyed them.
They definitely collect a lot of dust but even with dust it didn’t seem to hurt performance. Didn’t slip once and didn’t wipe once. Only played in them once tho.
There is only hype behind this shoe because it’s a Kobe shoe. Put this same recycled tech in a normal Nike basketball shoe and nobody really cares. Shoe just reminds me of a Kobe 10 with a different upper. I would have rather they just protro another model.
New 360 colorway might be one of those colorways that look better in person and on feet. Kinda upset I just ordered the white multicolor pair yesterday.
My pg2s don’t squeak either and have great traction. I like the traction on these. Guess the squeaking thing might just be a preference to some but I don’t care for when these shoe reviewers give a shoe a bad rating just because it doesn’t squeak.
I was having that issue with the yellow pair that I had, to fix that issue I started playing in them without using the very top eyelid. The laces on my infrared pair seems to have slightly longer laces.
The Kobe 11 elite started at 200 with the same tech they had been using for the past 3 years, a few colorways went for even more. The regular nxt was 200. 200 is simply what Kobe’s cost now. I don’t see what the issue is, we have been here before.
Played in my yellow pair today. Traction seems to be better than my black pair. Didn’t wipe at all in them, I have to wipe a few times a game in the black pair. Outsole held up too after the first wear.
