The shiny plastic under the swoosh always made me think of a baby arm or a fetus arm :x

I know people are thinking the SLH will sit long enough for a discount, but I just don't see it (online anyway). NDC does not mark down these unless they sit FOREVER, and eastbay didn't even have the graffitis sit long enough for coupon eligibility.

I love the SLH from the pics, I'm sure I will like them more in person. I think the main reason they are still around is because they dropped them so late in the season.

Lol that's just gross man^

On another note, Jades are really growing on me, very clean and simple. Will wait for around $150 though or less, and if I miss out its no biggie.

i dont think the shank plate and heel cup is gold either. looks egg plantish...i could be wrong though

It is purple

 

[laces1983]

Those look penny v cloakish to me what Bron is wearing

 

[dark steel]

Yeah watch him change shoes since he hasn't been playing well.

Well, he can't blame it on the Mask or short sleeved jerseys today... maybe IT IS the shoes!

 

[mister friendly]

Those PE versions looked alot better than the retail version when they showed a close up

 

[iamdakota]

Those Elites though!!!

 

[carolinafinest]

It has a silver wing. Pretty sure the flashes cause the cloakish effect. But definitely not purple

help old boy out

always been a fan of the elite never a fan of the regular XI. this colorway is nothing special

 

[chrisboshgoat]

this picture is better

 

[carolinafinest]

I think the Elites made a turn for the worst but looks better no doubt. With that said I hope everyone gets the pair they want. Goodnight I'm sleep word to Grizz...and One Lol

HONESTLY 9 ELITES ARE STILL MY FAV IN TERMS OF ELITE MODELS

 

[dwoodactennis]

Looks like a PE with Silver/grey accents, clear sole:

So much better without that "mango/pink" liner.  

 

[carolinafinest]

And not choked up with the factory lacing. Or that marble sole. I hate that idea.

 

[xbiker47]

Those elites look great

really interesting how the narrative of the elites has changed in just a few years. At first it was made for playoff competition. The next year the lakers are terrible and might not make the playoffs and Kobe wears them 2 months before the playoff starts. LeBron comes into this season wearing the elites from the past year because his flagship shoe for this year is not up to par. And the Kobe 9 is coming right out of the box with an Elite version. Now LeBron is wearing the elites a month before the playoffs. All while the $$$ continues to rise...

Great point. At this point it's basically an overpriced gimmick.
