Lol. Quit playing... these joints is FIRE. Yall just bomb on anything that's not Flyknit these days.

This is a Better Colorway than MOST XI's and ALL of the BLAND Flyknits that ppl going ape over.

But Glad cats ain't feeling em... that's good news for hoping they hit the Clearance Rack!  

Clearance rack is where they belong right off the bat.

To each his own, I guess. Some can't fathom being able to pull those off... understandable.

Yea I'd like them a lot more if they didn't have those splotchy black spots. Something about those is throwing them off to me.

 

[fubl]

Up to 10 pairs of kobe 11 flyknit.   Only missing the the FTBs and Eulogys(keep missing on sale)

 This Em does not intrest me.

You can find Funny Pics to pair up with almost Every Shoe Nike puts out these days... what does that matter?

I mean, Swoosh just literally made a shoe that looked like a Krispy Kreme Donut Box.

Look, find me a shoe that has a Theme and I can find a Funny Pic to compare it to...

OR I can choose to relate the shoe to photos like these...

Just got my Avar, I ordered on Wednesday, Footaction is fast.

Avar is fire, it's my Top 3, here is my Top 3.

call me crazy, but these three line up together make me realize: they used to be called Team Bank colors, LOL

 

[ahuangtoronto]

Not sure if my local Footlocker put those Sunset EMs out early, but very easy pass.

Finally came in. I was worried about the full length lunar, I wasn't a big fan of the Kobe 9 cushion. But these feel way more responsive and bouncy right out of the box than the 9's ever did. Im a fan.

 

[truth2truth]

Ontario mills have 1 pair of the Kobe 11 Parker size 9.5 for 160 plus 20% off behind the counter. They also do Nike assist and will order size for the same price as long as it's in stock on NDC. Got mine for $139 out the door. I doubled up.

As of 7:37pm
Good luck

 

[Mr Dink]

Went to 3 different Outlets in the past week to look for some 11s for 20% off but nothing.

Got some Lebron 13s for a steal, though.

 

[passthatjawn]

 
Easy pass for me.... *not my pics

I'm sorry, but all these EMs, including this attempt at a 'Sunset' Kobe are really weak.  The only EMs that I feel are decent are the Mamba Days, and the reason for me is because all those numbers on the upper hide that hideous 1980s football jersey material.  The shoe looks like a Payless shoe because of that old-school football jersey looking material. 

I would rather save and spend $400+ for a real Kobe Sunset shoe (DS) that was executed right (like below) instead of wasting $100 (even at discount) on a pair of these 'Sunset' 11 EMs.  The 6 Orange County is how you do a 'sunset' themed Kobe.  Nike...Please bring on the retros.

 

[Mr Dink]

I like the Sunets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[ballyeaz]

Sunsets are dope

 

[truth2truth]

Man, Shout out to Footaction for that 1 day delivery on the Tinkers. Not even 48 hours since I placed the order.

Pretty nice in person 

View media item 2063678

Man it's been 24 hours for me and still no email notification of the order. I hope they deliver mine fast like yours.

Ok so I don't feel as bad for doubling up on multiple pairs. Though I know it's getting out of hand. Doubled up on white horse, tinker, Parker and bhm.

I used to be guilty of the same thing.  At least in my case, I started to realize I never wore the 2nd doubled-up pair, so now I only do it for white ones since they get dirty easy.  So far the only 11s I've doubled-up on (and kept/didn't use for trades)  are the White Horses, and the Red Horses (because I'm not sure how quickly/slowly the Lance Mountain effect will start to show).  I'll probably double-up on the last Horse (Pale Horses) too.

You make a good point. The only reason I doubled up on them is because I got a good deal on them, way below retail except the tinker and white horse. Might return one of the tinker.

I wouldnt feel bad at all ! Your just a man who plans for the future!

I really regret not picking up a second BHM on NDC but funds were low at the time. I could of went for it but was feeling buyers remorse from some other pairs. Oh well ill pick one up soon! Wouldnt mind getting an extra tinker as well.

I hear you on the double up. I generally only double up if its a great deal or i know i want to ball in that pair. 

 

[D_eezus]

So far I own
ASG
FTB
Mamba Day x2

Will pick up Carpe's, when they hit Clearance, and maybe 1 more iD

 

[mkorofi]

Do you wear the same size on the Carpe diems and the Flyknits?

If so, have you encountered any issues ( are the flyknits too tight )?

please let me know, as this brother can only order online, and I have no chance of trying on a pair of flyknits before I cop.

Thanks in advance.
