Official Kobae XI thread

Which Nike sites? Sorry, I didn't even know that they released in other Nike sites.

Canada and Europe for sure. Released a couple weeks ago now.

Yeah no problem bro.
Since these kicks are so fire, I like them to be the focus of my attire.
So I'll wear jeans or Chinos, nothing with a crease.
As for the top, it helps if it has a bit of yellow, on it, but it isn't necessary. All black works just as well. I got a polo shirt from Superdry that works with either the Bruce lee's or the Achilles.
I don't wear caps or accessorize, so it's about my t-shirt and jeans for me.

I hope I've helped.

I hear ya on making it the focus of the attire. I like wearing them with black jeans and some kind of neutral colored shirt.

I finally found a shirt to rock with my Bruce Lee's!

Thats too much matching for me. I had a yellow nike tee and thought it was too loud of an outfit. Thats just me tho.

View media item 2097201Anyone have any experience using this stuff on white flyknit? I'm thinking of buying a can to spray my Kobe USAs and White Horses before I unDS. I'm afraid it might turn the flyknit yellow. I heard some sprays may do that.

Those three are in my top 5 for the Kobe XIs GR. Tinkers and Eulogy are the other two. The USAs recently replaced the Eulogy's for the number 5 spot.

How thick is the lunarlon compared to the 8 and 9? I remember the 9's were noticeably thicker than the 8's. And do those flex points in the lunarlon actually do anything? The 8 and 9 were already flexible

Kickz order shipped.

But when I click on the order details, I get an error on the UPS website.

All u gotta do is offset all the yellow with black shorts and u gucci

 

[vinotwofour]

honestly, if you're not wearing this with your BL's, you ain't doing it right

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

But seriously, this is probably the best shirt that matches it without being overly tacky and super loud 

 

[superstarlord]

The hat is back up on NDC too

Quais need to come here to the US. Got a seller offering $290 for them but not sure if I should bite.

 

[ballyeaz]

Quai Soldiers dropped last year here so maybe there's a chance?

 

[dafilman]

Might pickup the BL's still 

 

[janitor]

Finally scooped a pair of ASGs last month from the outlets, my one and only pair of XIs. I get that they're not everyone's favourite colourway, but because I was fortunate enough to be there for Kobe's last All Star Game there's sentimental value for me.

The BLs are fire too, but I passed (even at the outlet price) since I had the BL cw in the 9s. Now if they retro'd the BL Vs...

 

[vince23heat]

Is that Bruce lee shirt sold out?

 

[leroythegreat38]

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the different between the elite and non-elite models?

I want an all black shoe and would prefer to get an elite model but I can't afford FTB prices and it doesn't look like the GCR are releasing here. So it looks like my only option is this one here. http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/kobe-xi-mens-basketball-shoe/pid-11085493/pgid-11076736

elite models are flyknit, non-elite models are engineered mesh

 

[urn0tlike]

I like that Kobe hat. Will have to keep an eye on it see if it goes on sale.

 

[battousai701]

mambacurial xi looks kinda wack at first glance

but its growing on me the more i see detail shots of them

 

[therealjcw]

Is that Bruce lee shirt sold out?

It looks like it, I got it from Commonwealth in DC...the brand is Anti Social Social Club but I did not see it on their website

 

[theuserjohnny]

Comparison to the actual Nike Mecurial Superfly 'WTM'

I think ppl forget that the Mabacurial's are based off the actual sneaker and not just some random combination of colors. I personally love these over the 8s, hope its an easy scoop. 

 

[thapointguy]

Easy color to rock than the 8s but both not for me.

At least Nike gave the heel zoom instead of lunarlon and kept the price the same

 

[Naruto]

all stars are really nice in real life

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I personally love these over the 8s,

I do too.
