It connects Portland, Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsborough, and north/east Portland. It can also take you close to Washington. Its a pretty neat system.

I can't figure it out. How do the flynit lows actually fit? People are saying like the KOBE 9 EMs. Any one know?

I would imagine just like the EM lows. the Soles appear to be the same cut and I would imagine NIke is going to use as many pieces from the EM that they can to save money.

It makes a lot of sense...Take the All Star Game pack for example. The Kobe's were released in less locations than the Lebron's and the KD's, but you wouldn't call the Kobe's a QS just because they were released in a few less stores. Just because the Hyper Grapes are releasing in a few less stores than the 35k KD's, doesn't mean the Hyper Grapes aren't a GR. If you got locations receiving upwards of 140+ pairs, that pretty much means they are GR status.

Damn. Nike is really good with returns if there is a flaw or defect even if the product is like a year old. I would also show that pic to a nike chat rep even if you didn't purchase them directly from nike. They should hook you up with a discount code.

They won't hook up with a discount code... They'll tell him to send back for a product voucher.

You have to be a wordsmith. Don't flat out say how you want a code. Just state how long you have been a customer for and that you are becoming increasing frustrated with the quality of products as of late.

@FilthyRich how did it happen? I thought the EM material was quite flexible that damn near looks like someone slashed it or something.

SMH
why is why i wanted to stay away from this shoe. i bought 2 pairs so far and havent wore em, was hoping this would last a long time with heavy use, SMH

Don't let one flawed shoe ruin it for you. It seems to be the exception not the rule. Most people in here that ball in the EM say they are pretty legit and maybe even an upgrade from the 8 in a strictly performance based way.

Might be a stupid question but im gunna askya anywaz?...lol.. Can anyone explain 2me what is the purpose of the "Flywire" on the Kobe 9s if the shoe laces go threw the holes in the upper first then threw the "Flywire"?.... when you pull the laces tight, ya can only pull as far as the upper is gunna stretch before anything happens with the "Flywire" correct?... the "Flywire " just cancels itself out, i dont understand the point?....i got the AJXX8s and those ACTUALLY go threw the "Flywire" first, thats the point!

Somehow I don't think that happened from normally playing. Maybe it was stepped on really hard or got caught on something? But realistically the fly wire is the strain relieve so the mesh should not have experienced enough stress to rip like that. Realistically speaking if course I haven't contorted a pair in hand to see how the material flexes.

Mannn, this just made my decision harder I've really feeling the hyper grapes but these are looking epic!

the flywire is suppose to help give extra containment to your feet when you're doing lateral movements...otherwise, you're just relying on the em when you move side to side.

Jeez, when did Nike get all crazy w the releases? Just called niketown Santa Monica to ask if there was a raffle or what for the hyper grapes and they couldn't even say yes or no; just that they haven't released info yet.
Guess I'll just go early?
