OFFICIAL KOBE IX NIKEID-- NO BUYING/SELLING DISCUSSION--R.I.P KOBE 9 ID

[vote4anh]

Got a shipping delay email for both of my pairs of MCs

@mrfantastic21, I spoke with a Nike Rep and they are automated emails when they are not shipped as promised. I got these emails as well as my building status emails like finishing touches a day before! You can speak to a rep for more details.

Star Lord iD from Guardians of the Galaxy. Missing some color toward the heel but I like them too much to send them back.

Thats a dope concept and it's dead on accurate too.

Just pulled the trigger on a white swoosh/white sole MC ID for $320 shipped. Not gonna feel bad if it comes back to NikeID or not. Just don't wanna wait. The pair I'm buying has two things I'd want differently: a white backtab and no paint speckles.

Will probably fill in the white backtab with a black Sharpie. Contemplating if I should add white or green speckles, or if I'm going to add speckles at all.

Any advice/tips are greatly appreciated.

I was thinking the same.

I was thinking the same.

Nice, I'm really hoping for more green volt on my pair so I can use more of the green and yellow markers. Really don't like the pink/red look that I see on some MC pairs too much

I know this has been discussed ad nausea but they seriously painted a gray shoe black? You can clearly see it. I made two MC and was considering making a Detail low and a laker fade. Can't believe for the price they can't put the appropriate FK on the spindle or look or whatever it's made on.

I really don't think the black uppers are painted, as you can clearly see grey threads woven into the pattern.

 

[jswoosh99]

^^^   i agree.      the grey threading is just to give it some diversity..  i don't think all black threading would look as good

I still have a pair in my cart...wonder if I should try and check out.

R.I.P estimated date 9/15  

 

[Kobekobe]

The key word in everyone's email.. "Estimate"

 

[Kobekobe]

The black fk are definitely not painted.

Won't work. I still have a pair in my cart and have been attempting to purchase for over 2 weeks already. 

 

[thapointguy]

Black FK is my favorite upper, so versatile with colorways and color blocking. Contemplating a third pair with it.

Try it via pp... I had a pair in cart a week after they sold out and placed order... Got build in progress last week and delivery date next week but doubt its delivered on time 

So my pair I order a week later are further along then the pair I ordered an 1 hour after the 2nd launch

Man after having these IDs and wearing them for a while; they are not even as comfortable as the EM ones. There was really no point in putting flyknit on these except for aesthetics.

It's definitely not painted black. It's Flyknit the way Flyknit is meant to be done, with variation between two color threads.

if anyone ever does a comparison between the black upper and one of the color or fade ones, it'll look way different.

If anyone has had any success in removing excess glue from the tongue of their kobes I'd appreciate if you'd let me know what was used.

I tried a bit of rubbing alcohol which usually works but didn't do anything, used acetone next(big mistake) but that started to strip/dull the glossy paint off the emblem on the tongue.

Overall the quality on my pair is pretty suspect(excess glue everywhere), hopefully MC comes back so I can reorder.  Got 2 more pairs coming in and I'm hoping they turn out better.  I just don't understand how a glob of glue is just left on the tongue like I wouldn't notice.  I got the majority off but thats whats left in the pic below, I didn't want to risk damaging the shoe further.  My pair also had the toebox hump I've seen a couple other people complain about.

Before anybody goes at me about how redundant it is to complain about nike's quality control, this was my first pair of IDs of any shoe ever and for $260 shipped I expected better.

Damn they were sloppy with your pair..
