I really dont know what hell "these shoe moves with you" mean...

That the shoe contorts as your foot does
There are many shoes that are so stiff that they remain rigid even when your foot is bending inside
And that is a weird feeling

I think this shoe will be a mix of the 6 and 8.
The 6 moulded to the foot nicely and we are getting the same cushioning from the 8 (right?)

While I like the 9, I would cop every single one of these lows...functional for the court and great for wearing casually. I hope this is exactly what Nike releases!

I think that ridged feeling is called support? Lol

Naw i think it's restriction

Shouldn't the high top restrict your ankle from moving a bit in order to support it?

I get what your saying bro your somewhat right
But For me i dont wear highs or mids if they aren't pliable and move with my foot freely, and i have yet to find high top shoes like that
As a player all i need my shoes to provide me with is impact protection, responsiveness, and for it to be pliable
Thats why i am feeling i can mess with these, they go high to the ankle, so they restrict the ankle, but since they are flyknit you know they are pliable and so my foot will move freely

Agreed. I have bball shoes but after workouts is when I usually mess around and I'm always wearing my free runs. No lie, they feel BETTER than any balling shoes on the court. Maybe I'm just used to them or what, but I almost can't go back. People always say I'll break my ankle but it's been 3 years and nothings happened yet..... Knock on wood.

I'm the same way im kinda messing with minimalistic setups now and while i have had one pair of frees i ran em into the ground
No lie whenever i see guards wearing lebrons im like :x i can never wear stuff that rigid to ball

I actually think this is a progression of the 7 model. The 8s were a progression of the "play fast" 7 version, and since this is using the same insert as the 8s, this is a progression of the "play strong" 7 version

That may be very true. However, in '14 there will be new signature releases from all the other big names as well taking into account the release schedule.
Out of everything that has been released this year I agree with you. Really like these other than the price.

So the 9 Highs are only coming in Flyknit and those are limited, then why not show the lows also if they are going to be more widely available? How limited are the highs going to be?

The answer is hype aka marketing by Nike
