So the EM's fit more like the 7s or 8s? Tts? I'm getting mixed answers

EMs fit more like the 8's; not at all snug like the 7's.

Pretty sure it's been answered already, but I can't find it.
What does the Kobe Code on the 9's say? Not tryna pull out my 5-8's to try to decode :lol
-edit-
Wild guess that it says Masterpiece on the heel. But the medial side?

those white ems are pure $....they are prolly the sickest colorway they got for the 9s (if they release)...will cop without any hesitation
 
Talking kobe/lebron is pretty pointless. It's like talking left/right wing politics. You're not going to convince the other to change their mind.

Lets just enjoy the game and talk shoes.

did you mean... KOBE OVER BRON?
:hat :{

on the medial says VENI VIDI VICI I think. I'm just working from memory. It means I came I saw I conquered.
 
 
thanks guys... julius randle is making me want them
Just look at how happy they make Julius.  You don't want these.  You need these!

Vino should surprise the Wildcats with Final Four good luck gifts considering he tweeted they're his team to win it all and for their preexisting affinity for the IXs.  Just thinking that Kobe should maybe hook Kentucky up with some wicked white/royal ELITE 9's done in a similar fashion as the Showtimes except with the dual contrasting swooshes from the Details.  Borrow from the Prelude 8s and throw in a blue glow tron sole that transitions into a regular white glow sole towards the heel.  Top it off with some faded laces that range from royal to white a la the IV Rings and wish them luck in Dallas.  Maybe make a pair for Earldagoat while he's at it.  After all it's a celebration B^*%**$!

If anyone is still looking for the Kobe IX EM "Bruce Lee", I was able to get my hands on a pair this morning via Foot Locker.

I did the customer chat and they said the item was in stock, all I had to do was call Customer Service and place the order.

Sure enough, I called Customer Service and gave them the product number and my size. They said the item is in stock in their warehouse, even though the website doesn't reflect their true inventory.

The shoes will be shipped today. Total after tax and shipping was $178.

Only saved me $30-40 on resell prices after tax/shipping, but I feel better about it.

Hope anyone else that is looking for a pair is able to grab some this morning!

good stuff... an FYI - you may be able to save more next time if you order from Eastbay (same company), have invested in the paid membership for free shipping, and Eastbay doesn't charge sales tax in your state.

hey bigj505 bigj505 im trying to go through the recent images in this thread to see some kobe 9s

theres no way you can do gallery view and sort by newest first is there?
 
I hate the red stitching on the back of the Showtimes.

I'm probably gonna cop anyway, but I wonder how hard it would be to change the color.
 
I love the red stitching on all the Elites. Not sure why. Doesn't match the Perspectives at all but I love how the red pops on them.

Ehhhhhhh I've had my personal battles trying to do the same. I usually just click on the last image in the thread then click the gallery view button. Kind of a work around.
 
What am I missing in this pic? I see the hyperfuse material looking a bit close which is no big deal but what's wrong with the red stitches?
Compare the height of the red stiches for both pairs.  In the pic it appears the red stitches on the right shoe are a lot higher than the left pair. Could just be the angle the pic was taken though.

Oh ok I see that now. It is indeed a but askew but is it REALLY a big deal? Not even picking at his complaint, I'm really asking do y'all feel like it's THAT big of a deal?

At $225 I would hope that Nike has better quality control, but it's not that big of a deal where I'd return the shoes or complain to Nike about it.
 
Wait... so a simple white, yellow and black color way and you all praise them? 

But everytime a simple colorway does drop... they sit. Seems like you's just want what you cant have.

Like the inline, and amnesty 8's. I mean they were alright.
