Man what a joke, I have been saving this 20% coupon and can't even use it on anything. Probably going to end up waiting as well

It doesn't work anymore, I had it preloaded onto my account for the 4KB's and it didn't apply. 

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Yup, that's over now

Even when you try and call right after you order they give you a no

I feel like it's Nike's scandalous way of not letting us use coupon codes on new releases now

I've caved in and will not go after the Last Emperor colorway. I just really love these Kobe 11's. It's a shame he won't get to wear them in the playoffs.

 

[gil23]

When you say SNKRS exclusive, does that mean I can only buy through phone app?

Imo the 11 runs pretty much the same as the 10 as far as width is concerned.  The TPU strands on the toe box feel really constricting, but do stretch after some wear.  The Kobe 11's toe box is shaped differently from the 10 it seems which makes it seem to have more toe room because there is more length, but overall I feel they have about the same dimensions as far as width and TPU / Flyknit build is concerned.

On another note,  White Horses seem to be sold out.  Can't cart at footlocker, NDC done for, where else can you get just curious?  I'm going for team #belowretail  who's with me?

Can't go wrong with either the Achilles or the Eulogy's. Both are really nice and clean IMO.

I find that the Eulogy's stand out more since purple isn't a conventional color for sneakers, while the red/black combination has been done plenty of times.  The Achilles may be easier to wear casually, and both will definitely look nice on court/gym.  

As far as storytelling is concerned, owning the launch colorway of a model release is never a bad thing to have in your collection, and how the theme is centered around the Greek mythology of Achilles is cool, although somewhat expected in a way.

For the Eulogy's, some would consider those a launch colorway as well, since it was the first colorway Kobe rocked of the 11s, in Boston of all places, and the Lakers ended up winning the game (the last time Kobe played in Boston).  Having the 8:24 on the heel is kind of similar in having the '23' on Jordan's, where it's like you get the 'PE' feel in having the player's number on the shoes.

So for me, when it comes to storytelling, I like the Eulogy's over the Achilles.  If going for looks/style, Achilles for me.  

Apologies if this isn't helping much, but like I said before, can't go wrong with either.

This helped a lot. That's some great insight.

Red and black do get played a lot. I'm leaning on the eulogys. That color just blends perfectly.

Thanks bro!
