Kobe X Official Thread Elite Series ‘Elite Team’ April 18th, ‘Elevate’ May 15th, ‘Rose Gold’ June 5

the lebron 11 insole still not enough cushioning? and playing in the MP! How much did you cop them for?

The LeBron insoles made a huge difference in the MP but ultimately the side of the fuse kind of dug into my ankles when I cut, rarely but enough to be annoying. The bounce feeling of the Jordan 28 SE was my favorite but I had the air pop in me. Needless to say I went through a bunch of different shoes shoes for ball. Superfly 2s, Kobe 9 em, some cheap hyperdunk lows.

 

[mister friendly]

Yeah the Kobe 9 Elite felt better with the Lebron XI insole

I think Kobe X Blue Lagoon colorway is selling briskly. My local House of Hoops sold out of them.

Looks like I needs to ahead and pull the trigger on a pair then.

-mine did also peel but the material under is perfectly fine. View media item 1407462

Garbage

 

[DadNboujee]

I want the ASG. But I'm gonna bank on finding them on the cheap.

 

[kcm84]

They should have never put that crap on the ASG and use the same material from the 5AMs. These shoes should not be peeling, especially after one hoop session.

And LMAO @ the mamba shedding theory.

FTR, why would anyone drop 200 on a shoe and destroy it by playing on a blacktop?

Rocking my ASG's to the office today and will be wearing them for a leg day workout.  Looking forward to seeing how the zoom in the heal feels while doing workouts like squats and deadlift.  Been wearing Lebron X for leg days for a while because I like the zoom so hopefully these give similar support and cushioning even without the full zoom.

BASKETBALL SHOES?

FTR, why would anyone drop 200 on a shoe KNOWING IT FALLS APART?

That's the real question

Vans for leg day

Agreed, they are indeed basketball shoes, but there are cheaper options for destroying a pair on the black top.

 

[alcstarheel]

If I'm paying $200 on a pair of kicks I'm playing indoor ONLY. I only ball outdoors in Kobes if I got that pair on disco.

Those Vinos look aiight. The Blackouts (that aren't black ) look okay but that's all. Bring on the flyknit. And not those Air Neil Armstrongs that were posted a couple pages ago.

I play above the rim in these:

 

[blastercombo]

Look at other countries like China where the majority of basketball is played outside. It is what it is. It's also all relative. $100 shoe to someone else might be too expensive to mess up playing outside too.

 

[superstarlord]

I'm still waiting for these to drop, especially the grey ones on the bottom right.

That's why everything Nike there is XDR.

Venomenon?

 

[superstarlord]

 
Venomenon?

Yeah that was the rumored 5, for release at some point this year I think. Haven't heard much else since those pics showed up a little while ago.

 

[andersonrezende]

How's the white one called?

The same reason people will spend 20k on a motorcycle then gut the fairings and ONLY run it on a track. I would never skate in $90 SBs but some people do it, my $40 Nike 6.0s from Zumiez did the trick

What are these? Venomenons?

Edit nevermind just saw your response.

They look interesting but damn with these clear soles. 

I like the mesh looks real comfortable. Mesh reminds me of the Lunarglides 4 and 5.

They're still $200 shoes doe

 

[ballyeaz]

nike should just release the elite versions already.

That white pair looks like the kobe 1.

White pair might be the next rendition of the hyper-rev
