My only X so far. Love them. Considered sending them back and waiting to see if I could get them on discount, but they were just too nice.Ninja Gaiden

Really feeling the yellow pn the right. Pe?
Pants inside the shoe lookin silly
Imagine if that graphic on the clothes was on the upper
Played in the city league game last night. 6"4" 225 shot 2/15 for 4 points lol jk. Anyways heres what I got.
Traction- Same as the low
Sizing/Fit- Runs a tad bit long however containment is amazing. The shoot fits a lot more snug than the Kobe 9 elite. As a narrow footer these felt pretty good. I would suggest TTS, I don't think half sizing down would be a great idea but it might be doable for some.
Cushioning- Pretty much the same as the lows. Only difference being that there is more of a cushion in the heel counter. There is more padding in there than in the Kobe 9 Elite as well.
Ventilation- Definitely an upgrade over the Kobe 9 elite as well. Especially in the collar. This has to do with the material of the collar and it is also see through lol.
Lockdown- Didn't experience any heel slippage at all. Even though the shoe runs a tad big long, after lacing up I didn't experience any slippage in the forefoot area. There is def a little bit of room but when playing full speed it didn't bother me at all.
Overall great shoe, I wish I would have waited and just got these over the lows. The lows are nice but just don't fit me as well as these.
Great review

Appreciate it sir. As much as I hate to admit, they are an upgrade over the 9's. Everything you said is true about not being clunky or bulky. They feel like an extension of your foot almost. I'm 50/50 over the removable sole. I like you can switch them but the downside is the lunarlon bottoms out pretty quick.Great review man! As much as I love the 9s, I think the X are way better performance wise. They aren't as clunky or as bulky. The 9 heel cup would dig into my ankles on really hard cuts as well, and the X seemed to fix that problem. I'm a big fan of zoom over lunar for basketball, so I'm glad they got rid of the removable insole gimmick.
No problem I appreciate it. The shoe game has definitely turned into a hypebeasts game. Its funny to me how the shoe game has gotten so mainstream. Just last night I saw a mcdonalds commercial that was aimed towards sneakerheads.Thanks for the review bro.
Ironically, it's refreshing to see a review of a basketball shoe's performance on this forum as opposed to "I don't know a thing about how this shoe fits or performs, but I can't wait for the hot-pink Kim Kardashian/HTM collabo colorway, will go great with my Nike Galaxy running leggings!"
Good looking out! Much appreciated.Rose gold for 180 free ship. Enter code IPFL56M3

Was at footlocker today and saw a yellow Kobe. Not the 9, 10, or mentality. Anyone know what they are?
