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

The KOBE X Elite features a Nike Flyknit upper construction with dynamic Flywire technology for superior strength, breathability and support. The shoe is the first Flyknit basketball shoe constructed with recycled polyester yarn – each pair is knit with the equivalent of five recycled plastic bottles. Designer Eric Avar used a high-cut silhouette for proprioception. The KOBE X Elite’s dynamic traction, hybrid cushioning system (Lunarlon, Nike Zoom Air and Nike Free-inspired siping combined) and modern aesthetic result in a new standard for performance footwear.

Updated. 

Looks like Nike is moving on with the this model pretty quick. I wouldnt be surprised if the lows dropped in a few months.

Good find as always. I can appreciate the Hi-Res pics

So taking a closer look at the high res photos, it looks like the flyknit by the ankle/sock liner area is very thin and almost translucent with no glue backing. Looks to be much lighter and comfortable than the IX. Almost like what they are suggesting for the KDVIII/Magista/Mercurials (but looser). Can't wait!! 
 
Welp was going to give the highs a chance but they just look sloppy and the colorways are a major meh.
 
For me if and I mean if I get them I would black out the pink flywire loops. A true solid black and gold would look better IMO. 
 
Just my opinion but this elite series is sorry as hell. Quote me on it.

I can go in on some more of these lows if need be now.
Once again...I completely agree bro!.....looks like there using the same colorwayz (almost) as they did on the 9s?..IMO
 
Thinking I will probably pass on the highs, maybe make a black/silver ID or wait to see if/when Elite Low's come out.
