Not sure what was groundbreaking about the Kobe 9. Same midsole and upper as the 8 (more or less) but with a flyknit version. No new tech was introduced

The shoe outperformed on the court.

Thicker tongue helped easy pain on the foot from lacing up.

Sole had the best traction ever in any basketball shoe I've balled in.

True on All Accounts... it just Underperformed Aesthetically.

Atleast IMO.

This is a EVERY year thing
People don't like the first leaked pics
Write the Kobe off, then once they drop, they end up with 10+ pairs

This has been happening since the Kobe 5/6

Missed the 5,6,7, pockets was tight

But I dont even play around with it anymore

Seen 1st pics of the 8s, was on board

Seen 1st pics of the 9s and 9 highs, was on board

Seen 1st pics of these 10s and 10 highs, on board

That price tho

Gimme 1 low and 1 high and Im good

I have 2 pairs of 7s, 5 pairs of 8s, 1 pair of elite 9s, and will have zero pairs of Xs. I have a feeling the KD 8s are gonna be bananas, my boy who works at Nike HQ said they're going to be totally different than what's been in the line up till now. Who knows though...

 

[travistouchdown]

[Mamba Minhtality]

 KD 8 man... very curious.  Very happy with how the VII turned out

First impression of the X's I can say WOW they feel AMAZING on foot once I put them on, The balance of the Zoom and Lunar def a great combo. Definitely wider toe box from the 9s maybe a little to wide for me ppersonaly. Not really feeling the fuse honestly I think EM would have been a better choice, but a flyknit LOW should be amazing. Midsole is very Plush there's a "Blackout" colorway dropping the 21st. Here's a few pics. Feel free to follow my IG page guys I will be posting more on it.

would you recommend going a half size down for the Xs?

TTS for me bro.

 

[dafilman]

The lows I don't hate, and I am interested in that blackout pair.

Rep Mrfox!

 

[lypac]

Might just wait for that flyknit version.

 

[sk33termcg33]

Do you sense these can bottom out in the lunar parts of the shoe? Thanks for the initial impressions my dude

 

[aceboogie113]

I'm going all in with these Xs mainly because it could possibly be the last

 

[Kobekobe]

I wonder how they're gonna do the blackout with that translucent sole? Will it be standard on all releases because I haven't seen a X with a normal sole.

 

[urn0tlike]

IDs are usually up right before 1st release right? So these should be up soon.

 

[eds824]

the hype!!!!

Thanks @Mr Fox24

Will you be hooping in them soon?  Curious to hear more

Honestly you can literally push the midsole with finger and it's soft, like I said before feels really plush on foot. I'm sure it will bottom out the question is how long will that take, I'm 6"3 225 so I'm guessing different player sizes also plays a factor.

I plan on getting them RD, however getting married the 10th and then honeymoon vacation so I probably can't ball until 2 weeks after.
