Finally something official

 

[dafilman]

Im sorry I love the 9 Elites but the X's just look cheap to me. 

 

[ricanmamba]

So any news on elite lows?
I like the all stars.
Not liking the high in that cw.

There's nothing Nike can do to make me wear boxing boots ... NOTHING lol. Glad other people dig them, but they're just not for me.

I want to see this ^ shoe in a low top version. Either way I'm only getting the lows.

hmmm maybe the flyknits are not fused this time? 

they weren't fused last time, it was a generous coating of glue used to give it structure. This time it looks like there's a small bit of fuse actually used on the outside of the flyknit around where it meets the midsole/outsole.

$220??

Zoom in the forefoot and heel? Sorry went through 20 pages and couldn't find it.

Can I get an on foot pic or video of the high X where a person is not doing the damn Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal lean?

I think it's a 180 zoom and everything else is lunar

This link was posted a few pages back, an initial impression/review of the lows: http://www.kicksologists.com/2015/01/16/nike-kobe-x-first-impression-release-date-pricing/

Now I know most of you loved the Nike Lunarlon set up, but Nike Zoom will always be my favorite. Kobe Bryant had Zoom Air as his main cushion since the early Nike 2K4 Huarache days to the Nike Zoom Kobe 4, 5, 6, and 7. Despite Nike getting rid of the Lunar insert, the cushion is still pretty damn good. Kobe used Nike Zoom in his first. I believe the forefoot contains Lunarlon which was soft and low-profile. In the heel however, Nike debuts a Zoom Max system for the Kobe series. Now the Zoom max is actually inside the heel rather than bubble. It's quite difficult to explain, but take a look at the comparison that I made between the KD 7 and the Kobe 10. You can feel the bounce, but the carrier is solid and firm that it doesn't feel unstable. Do remember that this is just an initial wear. I have not hooped in them or ran around actively.

The X lows look real good to me. Not so much a fan of the highs.

Elite lows weren't announced/leaked until the HTMs dropped about 2 months after the 9s debuted, so we might not hear anything until then, if they're doing elite lows again.

As much as I dislike what I'm seeing so far. I'll probably end up with at least one of each model. Def gonna have some time to wear my 9's. Got 3 pairs I been waiting to unds

 

[tlamora11]

Everytime I slowly feel myself begin to start liking the Xs a little bit, the back of the shoe and that awful awful awful midsole keep me away lol

I hated the 9 high when I first saw them because oh how tight they were tiied in the pics and how horrible dudes was rocking them and missed out on some nice CW in the beginning. Id rather cop these and see if they grow on me than to sleep and have to pay $500 later when everyone decides to do a 180.

 

[noblekane]

new year same ******* placement of the swoosh

same result. pass

Feelin you 100000000% on this! I passed on Masterpieces because I thought the high tops would be a little much. Got on board when i saw the Details in person and fell in love with 9. Would do anything to go back and get the Masterpieces haha probably one of my top 5 shoes of all time with how much I have grown to love the 9s. Will keep a close eye on the Xs but so far Im just not liking what I'm seeing.

 

[kjparfekt]

Liking the high X better than the lows

 

[mister friendly]

I'm excited for these

The Kobe X makes the Kobe 9 look years behind

 

[memphisboi55]
