Official Kobae XI thread

[superstarlord]

Yea trying these black/whites on, I went TTS, same as I have for 9 & 10, I have some space in the toe box but if I went down, they'd probably be too narrow on the sides, I feel like when they break-in, they'll be perfect.

But did y'all see how much dudes Achilles pair expanded after he played in em? They were sitting next to the XI I think in the same size and they looked "bloated" like expanded. The drop in insole also limits you unless you have the kobe 8 or lebron 11 or something. In other shoes you could just replace the top layer. I went with a 10 and that's my tts.

Debating on exchanging my TTS for .5 down.

Sounds like all of us with wide feet won't be able to enjoy these shoes. I do have a shoe stretcher I could use and maybe the flyknit could stretch a lot.

But you know how on the kobe 8, the toe had a layer of fuse, that didn't really stretch? If these xi's do stretch at the toe, that'll solve our issue

This basically sums up the XI IMO

My collection. All the same size. Red pair were played is, so you can already see the stretch

They're all the same size. So maybe half sizing down will be good after you break them in?

8s fit my wide foot fine in the toe.

 

[jflick]

I have wide feet, tried on an 11 which is my size and the fit perfectly to me.

[spoonmanofthehour]

Man, I need to try these on. You all have me confused.

 

[ireland]

Are the kobe 11 ids like the lebron 11s with lunar and full length zoom or is it just zoom

 

[babylon]

Messed up part is I can't even try my TTS in store, since they don't sell 12.5s in stores

 

[kookoo89]

Anyone know if they're going to do a GR with full length zoom? Not sure if it was mentioned earlier but I feel like there are too many pages to look through. 

 

[bdrake823]

Well not much from the description but if it's a green to black fade for the ASG's maybe something like this. I'm sure they'll throw more detail into it like they usually do but just the basics here

 

[Naruto]

Those with kyrie 1s how are those size wise compared to the 11s? Is there the same inner booty connected to the tongue? I went tts with them but they were really tighttight. Picking up a pai of XI tmrw last one

No information about a full length zoom outside of the iD route, we are all hoping.

@GrizzlyAnimal  I caved and ordered the Achilles--be here Thursday. They just kept calling me! I know I'll end up with 6+ pairs of these XIs anyway

not even worth a PS... they always go off the wall on ASGs

 In a perfect world there would be a New Order stormtrooper helmet on the back of that shoe

Just got these delivered

the shoes are nice overall, but that big bulky white heel is horrendous

Really not a big fan of asymmetric heel designs, really wish there is an ID option where you can just have matching heel logos.

Forgive the NT Denim, couldn't wait to put them on feet, being my first pair of 11s

Very nice.

Hopefully I can score a pair.

 

[mastralf]

I'm trying really hard to resist copping the Achilles. I have two pairs of the thrillers and don't necessarily need another pair of these but I am so tempted. I have the first cw from the 7's to now. I cant decide whether to just buy or tough it out and buy an ID lol. Yea first world problems lol.

 

[techno]

So how's the flyknit on these? If it's anything like the IX or X I may have to pass.. I know it's no longer a hyperfuse mix.. I just really hate the stiff/hard flyknit stuff lol
