Because it's not true flyknit. It has a layer of fuse underneath for support. If you just put a normal flyknit runner on a basketball court, it will get destroyed. It needs some reinforcement with the ruggedness or durability of playing a competive sport.

I love the FK models, but lets be real here. Its just a gimmick for basketball shoes, aesthetics only.

this. and this should be obvious….can't believe some people really thought the flyknit was going to be as soft as the runners

I stil want to see the classic blk/gld cw on the high tops. I realize you can id them on the lows. Still hoping for a great high top cw to come out.

Nah it actually isn't
In terms of Flyknit Basketball performance, it is soft but yet hard and pliable
The Engineered Mesh is too filmsy
The Skinwire like material used on the Kobe V and Kobe VI was a bit to harsh

I would love to get a flyknit kobe/performance shoe without fuse backing, I don't agree that flyknit won't hold up especially compared to thin EM.
All IMO but flyknit is stretchy so the hardest part to engineer right would be change of directions which is obviously huge.
I hope they try it otherwise I'll play in some flyknit sneaker and let ya's all know

Any new pix of the beethovens? Really hoping it's with the black swoosh on the outer of the shoe..
I was able to return my hypergrapes for the kdvii .. Loud vs loud color but just couldn't do the purple.. Color purple reminds me of death/funeral

Just like they had the Hypergrapes with black laces, and the Fundamentals with a grey liner instead of the released mango...
This will be the pair releasing

Same was said about Kobe's mango tongue lined Fundamentals and The Perfect Pair's purple laced Hypergrapes...
Just be prepared for the white swoosh...

Prepared for anything i just know forsure I'm getting the beethovens. I bought TWO pairs of kobe elites and ended up returning them (insipirations & hypergrapes) I won't let the kobe IX line get away without me getting a pair as these are the best Kobes ever put out wether for balling or wearing purposes ... Can't wait till the 16th
