My thoughts exactly…look like a cheap takedown model.

I've always thought they really screwed the pooch with the IXs by not making more elite low colorways along the line of the ID multicolors or even some of the other GR high colorways. I like the highs as pieces of design, but I only like wearing them with pants because I think I look silly wearing that ultra-high design with shorts. The ID multicolors are sick, but the HTM multi lows are one of the most insane sneakers I've ever seen. That should've been a regular release and not a stupid mega-limited exclusive

I’d love to see some PE Elite lows with updated Flyknit.

Not terrible, but elite version would've been better.

Hell yeah. I can rock the hell out of these and keep my OGs as house shoes as I always have

If they're rehashing this one, then I have a feeling they're going to rehash the Maestro (2014 All-Star Game shoe) eventually because that seemed to be the most popular color with the Kobe IX line.

Those do nothing for me. Best colorways released originally to me are Masterpiece, Inspiration, and BHM. I liked the green Victory pair except for the gold swoosh, which threw them off hugely for me.
But what I really want other than a fresh new pair of Masterpieces is the unreleased OG Precision colorway. No idea why in the world Nike never dropped it before.

First time seeing these photos. They planning on doing elite lows too or just EM?

My only requests for these are a React midsole (which is probably 99% a given after the 8s got it), and a tweaked application of the glue and fuse underneath the flyknit to improve the fit. Maybe they will get a thicker outsole like the 8s but the outsole is the 1 part that I hope stays exactly the same.

Elite 9 lows were my fav pair to play in. I’m in. Hate that price increase though.

Grip was exceptional, but was never a big fan of the upper being so stiff and rigid

Wore the hell out of my Beethoven pair.
