Can we **** about the Suns cw thing?

It's not even close.

 

[thekidminchin95]

The suns vs. laker colorway argument shouldn't even exist. They're called the "Showtimes" for a reason, it's a lakers colorway. But if u wanna rock em with a celtics jersey, nobody is stoppin u.

patiently awaiting for Pacers or Warriors CW comparisons...

lol end of day "do you like the shoe regardless" of what it represents in your imaginative minds.....

I looked at the Showtimes closely. The Flyknit panel is a mix of Laser Orange and Volt Green. They are blended together in a percise way to appear as Lakers Gold.

This is exactly it...  different color flyknit strands to give it more texture and pop

Same goes with the Inspirations I'd say (those have greenish and yellow strands?)

I've never known anything about the Phoenix Suns being associated with "Showtime" ... Clearly paying homage to Magic and LA

I missed the Bruce Lee IXs on release day.....settled for the Venomenoms and took it as a loss....(I'm happy with the Venomenoms, pics don't do them justice.....Happened to go to the mall to help a friend sign for raffles for this weekends releases....when I spotted the Bruce Lees on the wall at HOHs Staten Island. Had to go up half a size but worth it IMO

yea the same way inspirations look yellow froma distance but up close u can see green and orange , speaking of inspirations I think I'm feeling them now with a lace swap. Doesn't look so plain anymore. Might have to grab me a pair nowView media item 920855

Thats a dope lace swatch there. It makes the Inspiration look completely different. 

 

Matches the Yellow lining perfectly.

yea I think nike dropped ball with stock black laces these look much better imo

 

[thekidminchin95]

The lace swap on the inspirations is a good match but it makes em pop too much imo. The flyknit on the black base makes em pop enough for me.

 

[blacklion23]

Darth killin it with the lace swaps!!

i would agree if sole and back part wasn't so plain gives just enough character but not too much imo

 

[Deleted member 48228]

Well there goes the free 2 day shipping code frenzy

Just got my stuff in from NDC and each has a free 2 day shipping ONE time use code

I'm just assuming that runfree type codes will disappear

 

[thekidminchin95]

i would agree if sole and back part wasn't so plain give jus enough character but not too much imo

Yeah I see what u mean. Really like how towards the back of the shoe it has the brushed metal look though

 

[lakers29]

still wish the inspirations had a grey sole, for some color contrast. too much black imo.    probably why I like the precisions so much...

precisions are dope. even with the inspirations I would have to cop the precisions with that purple and green flyknit

Just got my European exclusive Kobe 9 EM Premiums today. Here is some on feet pictures. The Kobe 9 definitely runs 1/2 a size large.

 

[Hahahaha]

Those yellow laces look okay. Kind of cool. They match the lining but not the fk.

 

[darthdeezy]

At the gym with my Inspires right now.
People diggin the lace swap.
After all them Kobe 8's I love them loud shoes.
But this swap is pretty subtle.

 

[s dubl]

I think most people are used to the brighter yellows Nike has been using on the recent years Kobes.

From pics, showtimes are closer to the canyon gold/maize nike used to use. They also added some orange to show some contrast. I've yet to see showtimes in person, but that's what I imagine I'll feel once I do.
