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

[oookillem]

 
Looking at pics of "Hyper Grape" 9's and can't help but think how *GRAIL STATUS* these would've been had they been LOWS... some of the Best Use of Flyknit ever.



I'm willing to say these would've been thee most Highly Coveted "Lakers" colorway Kobe's in his Line to date.

 

I agreee with you 100% fontman.

Those as lows would be insane... also about 100x better

Both black and volt swaps look good on the perspectives imo

 

[gtmorgan23]

I dig it with the black laces. I bet the asg laces would look pretty good too.

Thank you, repped

 

[gtmorgan23]

well I scored a pair of the WTKDs in hopes i could find someone willing to trade for ASGs or MPs. Alot of the guys on the local FB groups trade like crazy.

I also kind of find it enjoying to see if I can get through all of nikes silly games when they do their shoe releases. Its crazy how fast Nike ships things out.

I think I am going to swing by FTL and check out this weeks releases just too see if they look more appealing in person. The influences with their crazy colors are kind of growing on me. I like the kds but the kobes just fit and feel so much better.

Love the black and volt laces on these!

What Kobe's wearing in Brazil isn't Beethovens, those are PEs. The pattern is different, and it has a pattern which the Beethovens do not.

 

[haterade915]

nice! looks like i will be copping some volt laces now, not feeling the speckled tho

 

[spiderjericho]

Missed on those size 11 Devotions. Gah.

 

[aceboogie86]

Aight appreciate the feedback fellas wat bout powder blue 10s or Miami nights lebron 11s and Philippine 9s for carmine 6s and thunder 4s?

 

[ham182]

Im thinkin about half sizing down on the EM lows... has anyone done it??

Yeah I half sized down on the elites and lows and both fit me perfect now. To me, half sizing down is same size as tts on the 8's.

Exactly. I agree that they are not the same shoe. Sneakernews was reporting that it is.

Nice, so $200 huh? I might have to actually go for those. Never thought I would wear purple shoes but then again I have rocked the MCs.

Like someone said though, they could have changed from the pre-production pictures we had seen to those. Just saying that it is possible.

Yep it's happened before.  They switched up the Easter 8's last year after the press release.

footlocker.com not getting the influences on the 21st???

True, either way it is a hot shoe.

I like these but the Kobe IV Carpe Diem is the best Laker colorway

They should be getting them. Seems like it'll be relatively widespread for in-store releases too. NDC is also limit 2 per customer.
Kinda sucks for those who paid $500+ thinking they'd be a Euro exclusive though

Anyone know if the FK lows will have GS sizes?

I don't think anyone knows yet, but there's an excellent chance since the Elites released in gs sizes
