Official Kobae XI thread

[little mac]

 
^^^same...they might be nice for ball but I just can't get with them. And I'm not happy that some of the more interesting CWs were made into EMs in an effort to bait people (DDs, LMs, CDs, Sunsets, and eventually Mambacurials).

Just remind yourself that you'll very likely see some of those colorways like the Merions, Curials, Diems, etc, in the not too distant future as retros.  

Jordan for example.  They always attempt to reel people in to see what can profited from (KOs), but eventually put out the real deal as well (Bred 1s, Chicagos, etc).  Only a matter of time before we start seeing overseas advance catalogs referencing what appear to be retros.

peach jam 11's have a Michael Lau Dunk SB's feel to it. 

 

[bmoore34]

WHAT?! How?! I would've hopped on that with no hesitation. $72!?

Yep Swoosh. Friend was doing me a favor.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

EM's just look so damn cheap

Yep. I will never buy them.

 

[Lizakers]

Yep. I will never buy them.

Same here, elites only, which is a first for me

My pair is still lost in transit somewhere smh.

Just got these bad boys in the mail.

Nice, congrats!  Here are mine-

First pair of Kobes here.  Usually an Adidas guy, got probably 5-6 various Boost models.

These are sick kicks, been rocking them every nice day since I got them.  I'll probably pick up another few colorways when they hit stupid prices.  

Anyone find the laces on these to be kinda short?

Same here

 

[Mr Dink]

Yep. I will never buy them.

Opposite for me. Own 3 pairs of 11s so far and all EMs. I don't think I will be buying any Elites. $160 >>>>> $200 (not literally, of course)

Will be copping the Dark Knights.

What does Peach Jam mean?

Same here

I've read online that this is how they do business. So I guess all we can do is hope that we get our shoes eventually.
My order still shows as processing on kicks crew, but I was refunded already with no history of my purchase.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

So far all of the ones I've bought are too short, I tired to tighten it as tight as I can but still way too short

 

[Blue Mamba]

My top 3

1) Achillies

2) Mark Parker

3) FTB

I've got mine pretty snug too but the tied loops still end up being tiny.  I make it work but I'm used to a little more length to work with.
