well yes, they basically wanted to show off all this new tech buzzwords for hypeI like the look, too, but flyknit is supposed to be lightweight and pliable. None of the FK Elites are either of those things.Why does it have to be hype? Maybe people just really like the textured/weave look of the flyknit. So sick of the word hype. Believe it or not some of us just wear what we like and couldnt give a damn about what others think
Nike didn't put flyknit on the highs and lows for functionality, they did it for aesthetic purposes to generate interest (hype...). Most of these flyknit Kobes aren't even utilizing the weaves to their potential, so IMO they're really failing at almost every point with these shoes. The EMs function better on court and the majority of the FKs are very plain.
I understand I'm probably alone in this line of thought, but that's fine. The FK Elites have just been incredibly underwhelming from what I thought they could/would be.
It really irks me to know that the Elite's flyknit doesn't really wrap around your foot very well.
nike didn't even really want the flyknit on the first place, that's why there's the tpu under the flyknit
I mean, when a 40 dollar single upper flyknit+ shoe that i went a full size up on has better fit than a 225 kobe 9 elite that i bought tts you know something's wrong
