THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

No point in complaining about resellers if people keep feeding them.

As I caught up with the thread from the drop this morning, it's funny how my feelings also flowed in the same manner. Excited that they're coming out, but reality is starting to set in. With the MPs being limited, it definitely bumped up demand for the rest of the highs. Now with the lows only being dropped in Milan and being HTMs, it sets that same tone for the upcoming flyknit lows. And the most sobering factor, as beautiful as the highs were, so many people passed specifically because they're just too high for most to rock casually. With these being lows, EVERYONE will want them.

Exactly. Pay retail or don't buy. Simple. Bye bye resellers.

so sad those were htm only. the white's are flames.

I'm guessing the Flyknit lows will be $200 retail. I'd like to see $180, though.

Would be great if it was that easy, unfortunately it's easier said than done.

$180 would be righteous but I highly doubt it.

Do the lows run TTS ?

The fact that yall are willing to pay $340+ tax (retail)! For some low top Kobe's that is already $200 over priced to begin with!! This is monstrous! Blasphemy! I tell you! Let alone $1-4k for resell prices??? Are you guys serious? Like for real?

Seriously. When will this madness stop?

From what I know of all HTMs only release at Mercer in NY for the whole US to enjoy. I would keep an eye out if you live near by and if I just helped you get me a sz9.5 haha not playing. We are *** out in Los Angeles where Kobe actually plays.

Easters are still smokin'

I was already down on the EM lows, but now they're just dead to me...

I'm just gonna wait patiently for some flyknit low colorways to drop here in the US...

Not going to belabor this debate because we should focus on the shoes and I respect you guys opinion but I don't agree one bit. What if the first guy set his price at something stupid like 10k? Now that's the "market value? No it's not. The market will decide the price and that's where the prices will settle. Sellers will have to adjust to market or sit on the product.

My dude. You are giving resellers too much credit. I've gotten into many a debate with them over crazy prices. These aren't dudes that have some kind of business sense. At all. I picture almost all resellers like that guy from coming to america who stole they stuff and tried to sell it back to them. 

 

[dark steel]

Do the lows run TTS ? 

Yes. They fit like the 8s.

Not going to lie, there is not another shoe that I have seen that I want to spend money on more than these flyknit lows. I will be saving up to buy each release and if I decide to pass on said release I will move on to something else. Really, really great design.

there aren't enough " " emoticons in the world to display how i feel about Nike handling this Kobe 9 flyknit low release.

really?! ultra super limited HTM?!?! As far as im concerned, all Hiroshi, Tinker & Mark Parker did was chop off the stupid OD high top part of the shoe. SMFH

aaaand they put a gum sole on the white pair. Nike playing around too much bruh.

Hey, bro, being as we're both fans of Kobe's sneakers, next time I get a tweet 15 minutes before some 9 lows drop, I'll come pick you up in my private jet so we can head to Milan.

Sound good?

[the red model]

I don't feel as bad knowing that that the HTM lows didn't come out in .5 sizes.

 

[jdavenp3]

To hell with HTM. Only one I care about are the gum soles. Would have loved to had a shot at them but knowing that they are actually rolling out flyknit lows and what they look like is enough for me. Let the fools drop 4k on them, I'll wait on the $200 general releases.

Is this a basketball shoe or a lifestyle shoe get this sh*t together nike. Great post up on ************* right now

 

[goat4521]

I am still not understanding what makes the fly knit lows better than the EM. They won't be lighter or more breathable. Is it all hype?

 

[mwalker]

SMH at Nike for pulling this limited crap again, it just ain't fair, those HTM lows and the fact their not releasing here got me like 

At least there is a Flyknit low schedule for a US release in a few months
