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

The X exts are the best Kobe EXTs, sorry you can't pull them off

IXs were way better, even the 8s were better than the Xs.

That's bcuz we disagree on the midsole, which for me makes me like the X over the other 2, more comfortable without that drop in lunar insole that I hate

Never understood how anybody could like the drop-in middles. They were uncomfortable and terrible performance wise.

Did that dude just say you can't play in leather? MJ must of had that engineered mesh and flywire in the 80's and 90's

On top of the fact everyone that buys EXTs is mostly for casual use, best thing to happen to sig shoes, now if they'd just drop lifestyles from the other 2 all would be right in the world

The upper is what kills the Xs to me.

The only EXT Kobe I truly like.

These were my fav until the X was put on my feet, I barely were the ixs anymore after that

Maybe something is wrong with my feet but the X's don't feel all that great to me... I prefer the IXs.

The only way IX fit for me is if I throw my aj2012 insole in

If you can play in Jordan Retros, I'm pretty sure you can play in EXTs. I wouldn't tho. I too, like the Xs over the 9s. The midsole is more comfortable and the fit my foot better. I still like the 9s but I don't wear them really. I wear either the 8s or the Xs right now.

I didn't mean to say that I or people can't play in leather. I was implying that other pro ext people have reprimanded me for trying to play in them because they are leather. It doesn't matter if a sneaker is leather or not, if you can ball in it you can ball in it. However, i can not ball in these EXTs AND they look ugly. however most synths are easier to play in. There is something to be said for a flashy crazy looking sneaker that you can actually ball  or exercise in. These however are ridiculous for no reason. People walk around in retros for a reason: they are cool, understated, and casual. These fit into a no mans land for me.

these are WAY worse than playing in a retro. They feel like dress shoes. I have played in tons of retros, and while many of them don't compare to today's kicks performance wise, they are lightyears ahead of these.

Would someone mind giving me the number for the rose golds so I can have NDC look them up?

The 9s are some of the most comfy sneaks I've ever had the pleasure of wearing, x's feel very agreeable but average, the mobility of the thin outsole of the 9 and that lunar ride is superior underfoot IMO than the caged lunar and zoom heel of the x

I've seen somewhat conflicting info. A-TrainKickz's tweet  didn't mention the elite model. BLACKJESUS-23's post has them listed as elites.
