lol I feel this way about the 11.5. An 11.75 would be perfect for me.
I like a snug fit for ball so I go with 11.5s. Did not want to go up to 12 though.

Depending on how tight you tie your shoes they can strangle your Achilles. I tore my Achilles over a year ago and that particular side has the most pain. I have narrow feet and skinny ankles so I have to tie mine tight to really feel as though I'm locked down. The back portion does dig into the Achilles. I compared them to my IVs and the actual heel part in the 8s sits farther back. I'm assuming they did this to lock in the foot. When I have them tied a bit more loose to do plyos I have no problem.

I can't hoop in a brand new pair without knee pain. I'm 6'4 215 fwiw.
My question is aren't 2012 Hyperdunks also lunarlon cushioning? I know its not a removable insole, but if they're both lunarlon I wonder why the hyperdunks don't give me knee pain?
Still love my kobes for working out/casual wear..

The hyperdunks are made with a bigger, thicker cushion. I hoop in the hyperdunk 12 and 13's but not my kobe 8's

yep maybe the 2012 hyperdunks are targeted lunarlon like the 2013.. it does appear to be a thicker lunarlon compared to the kobe 8

We have the id thread for a reason. No need to be difficult about things.
We know guys get excited and all. Just move the excitement where it should be.

i know, not being difficult its just funny.
i just think its easier having it all shared in one thread. i for one would prefer to see other peoples ID's posted in here to spice things up

It's a ton of people that don't care for Ids or care for the clutter involved with all of the renderings being posted.
Besides, you act like you aren't talking to the same usual suspects in there. You'd be right at home

Yea like others have mentioned, the HD 2012s have targeted lunarlon. The rest of the midsole is denser phylon I believe, so you've got more under you to take the impact.

Got in contact with the kb24 store and they said the release date of the WTK's won't be until December 7th, not for sure they said but almost definite.

Has anyone tried fitting the lebron 11 insert into their Kobe's?

I did and it's does not quite fit. It wouldn't work and I didn't want to force it either.
On the other hand, the kobe inserts fit well into the bron XIs

Someone on youtube bought full length air units from ebay for $10-15 and modified the Kobe Insert to fit the unit.
Has anyone tried use plastidip to protect the front toe box rubber when playing sports? I might try it after scuffing my superheroes. You can get it in clear. Also I noticed that the kobes with clear coating toe area are much more resistant to scufs as it feels like hard plastic vs soft rubber (volts, milksnakes, etc).

I think one of the lakers is wearing a white version of the elites... I wasn't able to take a pick but I paused and saw all white with gold shozoku.
