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

[andersonjames]

 
[Oprah voice] I wear them with shorts, with sweats, with jeans. I just love these Kobe IX Elites!!!! [Oprah voice]

You seem to be missing 3 pairs...(nice collection - I have 3 pairs, wish I had copped the MP's)

Making me reconsider the Hero's.

HTM isn't going to release in the US, it was a Milan EXCLUSIVE.

The 9 Elite Influence and 9 EM Philippines were overseas exclusives too until they released in the US, so who knows.

Boom Headshot

How many people have had problems with the heel counter digging into their ankle on the 9 Elites when playing ball? My homie experienced it the other day and I was wondering if this happened to anyone else. Yet to experience it myself and not read anything about it on this thread.

Does the "flyknit" on the 9 Elite's get softer overtime when broken in? The fuse layer underneath makes them sooooo stiff.

i dont think true flyknit is practical for basketball. i think eventually they would rip, also having a 200lb person land on your foot wouldnt feel very nice

For a split second I could've sworn Chandler Parson was rockin moonwalkers.

July 12th Flyknit Low release officially has me spooked as I've begun seeing things.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

didn't fools wear hightop adidas in the 90's? I'd gladly wear Kobe 9 Elites casually before some damn Jeremy scott's with the wings sticking out the back

 

[kingcop]

What does everyone think the chances of the game royal em lows lasting 2 more weeks is? I want them but it would be easier to wait a week or two. Just not sure if these are going to fly quick or not.

 

[comacoma33]

I think Game Royals will be just like the other EM Low releases.

Easy cop and under retail if you play your cards right.

I mean Easter EM Lows are still sitting and I think those are the hottest colorway.

Would def replace the 2 color toe Inspirations with the GOLDS or Showtimes

July 12 is going to be crazy with the Grape Kobe FK dropping and the DMV KD VII

They will sit. Easy Pass.

June 28 EM "USA" low. Hoping I can get my hands on a pair since I struck out on the Philippines.

I really think you should have no problem if you want them.

I probably would cop them if that CW was on the 8's.

I wish they would favor the flyknit for more releases. because 

8> EM 9

I don't own a pair of Kobe's but these high top 9s have caught my attention. I'd love to pick up a pair of the Golds. Any chance of that happening close to retail at this point or do I have to go the eBay route? I'm a size 13 so I assume it'll be tough.

same here, I was hoping to pick up at least one of the 9s before the 10s be out. I just want one pairs of a good color way 9s high top, and I'm good

yea they dont expire and if they do you can contact them to generate a new one for you. I waited a yr to use mine and had no issues. 

Repped. Thanks bro.

 

[lypac]

 
Got another code from NIKE last week and they said expires in 12 of 2015.

Must be random. Actually get to save a little bit more money before I use the promo code.

 

[lypac]

This side almost looks decent. Just too much random designs.

 

[gtmorgan23]

Honestly it looks like the design team went to hobby lobby grabbed up all the clearance fabric and made a damn shoe.

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

prob wait an see if they drop then.

I will say that the low 9 royals that drop this week are more impressive in person than pics. The colors pop and they aren't as obnoxious in person as they look in most pics. They definitely flow well with the use of many colors and designs. I was pleasantly surprised. To me the coolest of the lows to date.

Game Royals/Brazils are slowing getting my attention ...

I'll be copping a pair of Game Royals somewhere down the line.

 

[aceboogie86]

Superheroes one of my fave 9s now wen I got em I thought they be my least lol
