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

[phillishoes]

I haven't been on NT for a while, as i've been pretty disappointed by the lastest signature models. Has any news been brought up regarding, or newer pics of the elite 10s surfaced? (I've only seen the first two or 3 purple high ones, if there are any newer).

 

[lypac]

man these are tough, people are gonna regret sleeping on these. I have to get this

Agreed. These are a must have. Blue lagoons and All Stars I will have ragrets on them. Vinos too.

 

[tigo0240]

Vinos will be copped. Blue and green (favorite colors) along with the ASGs and I'm good on this variation. Hopeful to see what comes next for the X.

 

[bravelude]

lol, plastics fray like that.

these are just AM.TLs, not real BBAll.shoes.

anyone watch the Kobe special On Shotime last night? I don't know what I'm going to do after he retires... who will my favorite player be? What kind of kicks will I wear? I'm blocking it out.

I will just wear my older Kobe kicks.

I remember seeing that Nike has the Kobe 11 and Kobe 12 still coming down the pipeline. I'm pretty sure his line will continue once he retires... maybe you could be a DeRozan fan once Kobe is gone

Because of the law of diminishing returns. If the price keeps going up but the quality and technology remain the same (or gets worse in some cases), eventually the consumer is going to get hip and buy less of your of your product. I know I have, adidas and UA have gotten a lot of the money Nike used to get from me lately.

Not the law of diminishing returns at all but valid point. Also resale prices as a percentage of retail price have been going down since shoes have been around the 200 and up mark

probably Harden

If Penny and Pippen's line are still going, you damn well better believe Kobe's will.

But they turned into casual wear shoes

 

[superstarlord]

probably Harden

[Kobekobe]

Gotta be Russ Westbrook
We need him to come to LA and bring that killer mentality,and let Kobe pass the tourch.
I'm backing Russ as my fav after Kobe retires

 

[Deleted member 107398]

**** it give it to Nick Young, he has the PERSONALITY to be in LA

My favorite player will be Steph as it has been since he was at Davidson, back when it was thought he was too small to make it in the league. Lakers will still be squad, that's forever. And I'm rockin whatever kicks I want. I'm not just tied down to the Kobe line.

ugh, you had to post this missed 360 dunk

 

[dct11]

Your right the CP's don't but the Jordan's do.

Interesting. So the Kobe X is the first Nike bball shoe to have a hard shank on the outrigger only and no midfoot shank plate.

Makes me consider getting a pair...

Oh, I'm sure Nike will come up with some low top basketball shoe to take your hard earned money - they're good at that. Like others have said, probably Harden. I'm sure once he becomes more of a focus, all that tech Kobe's have will go to the next inline. Considering Harden plays in lows, he seems most logical... I would think?

@EarlDaGoat & @Dark Steel thanks guys!!
