Greetings everyone. I hope this is the correct forum to place this question. I have been an avid Kobe 8 collector since they came out and have over 30+ pairs. I recently pulled the trigger on a pair of Kobe IX elite NOLA (Maestros) and just want to be sure they are legit when I get them. I paid a fair market price but with all the bad luck I have had with the Jordan XX8s (w/shroud) I just want to be sure I don't make a mistake again. I have been seeing a few links of the replica Kobe IX and of course they look pretty close, however, I wanted to know if anyone has made a comparison and can either post the main differences or send me the link. I would really appreciate it and it would very much help me sleep at night. Most importantly, I don't want to suffer and injury wearing fake shoes. There have been a lot of problems with the shrouded Jordan XX8s (at least the few that have posted their problems and I have a theory many of these units are replicas). Thank you with any info you could provide and if anyone ever needs a question regarding fake vs. authentic Kobe 8s please feel free to contact me. Thanks to a great forum!
