Official Kobae XI thread

[315plus]

These are the best performing Kobes since the 8's IMO. Might be even better than the 8's and those were always my favorite shoes to play in ever.

X2. was a big fan of the 8, love being low to the floor. The 8 was a little lighter, only downfall for the 8 was the lunarlon being thin and bottoming out. With the XI, I strictly use the lunarlon (from an ID and from my EM) for balling that is

Hell no they've been perfect for me. Sticky as hell. None of the gyms I played at are dusty though so idk how they'd be on a bad court.

I've played in the 5's and 6's and I loved those as well. It's hard for me to pick really. I've loved playing in every Kobe besides the 7's but these 11's have been awesome for me all around.

Translucent soles or solid soles for your XI?

The 11's are so inconsistent with their sizing. I was able to get the last emperors for $144 at ftl. Story down below but these are the most snug pair that I have. Some feel like I could half size down where these feel like I could almost half size up.



FTL story: I ordered the bhm's during a 20% off sale and the pair I got was beat and the box was destroyed. I returned them and customer service said that i could get 20% whatever my next purchase whether it was instore or online. So i decided on the Last Emperors and they were $179.99 online but the didn't have my size. It showed a size 13 with "available in select stores." So i went in to FTL and they found them at another store. They offered it to me at the online price + 20% off + free shipping. I didn't even have to call customer service for the guy to do it.

FTL stepped their game up on their customer service lol.

White cw and the grey cw are another two easy passes

11>9 low>10 low>6>8>7>5

(Design wise)

10 low over 6, 8, & 5????

 

[vinotwofour]

the fact that 5's are last on that list shows a very clouded judgment

My thoughts exactly 

 

[redraider806]

I like what I like lol
Honestly not a fan of the design of the earlier models. They were more on the bball sneaker side and not causal. The later models were the perfect blend IMO

 

[redrum3281]

i'd say X>8 don't own any others in low, prob won't so far the only XI to tempt me was the Tinkers but I still passed, maybe an XI will wow me but the Xs were the perfect aesthetics for me, not the best cws but def best design for me

 

[redraider806]

That's why I like the 11 the most, I can put a casual fit together with those without lookin like I'm tryna ball out and score 81 on em.

Looks like something out of the Flintstones.

Might be biased because of the good old day lens but I the 6's just felt better to me than the 11's. I really liked the fit of that shoe

 

[vinotwofour]

5's and 6's were really comfortable right out the box. 

 

[Blue Mamba]

When the 8's retro (not extremely limited packs), I'll do whatever I can to get them.

View media item 2113536Kobe 8s are in my top 2 for hoopin especially if I throw in the XI lunarlon with heel zoom. The Kobe 9s with heel zoom hold the top spot followed by Kobe XI then VI.
