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

[jackelgod]

I have both of them so in my honest opinion if you want a "nice guy look/outfit for a day " go for the china, and if you want to look "badass/badboy look" you can go for the red fk. China kobe 9 is the only shoe i want in the EM line, the color combination is just perfect and the details are on point. The red fk on the other hand needs to have a lace swap to look better but overall they are nice and looks more durable compared to the EM

I'm from NYC, so to me, anything with a print on it is more of the bad guy/urban look. The FK is clean, and can pull off a preppier look.

I should have been more specific towards the praise comment. The EM's perform better on court than the flyknit lows, which are "really" fuse uppers

I gotcha. From what I've heard and read, they're not as stiff as the FK, so I can imagine they're more comfortable. I don't play ball like dat, so it's about style for me. They're both nice shoes.

 
i hope the next elite low is a gum sole! how awesome would that be

That would be DOPE! They'll have to release MC sooner or later as well.

agree the chinas should've been an elite since its a plain sothe chinas are nice but i feel like they're overrated

I'm just thinking maybe there will be an MC release w/ a clear or glow soles, that's why they won't let us have that option at all

i got the mc ids and i would still buy  a GR one....

 You never know. They released HTMs, you never know.

Yep, I feel they will release a MC. They know what we want. They MC sells like crazy, AND sell for more that the releases. I'm sure they got more of that HTM material from madrid. We need some of that. May be limited as hell though.

I think they'll go limited with those. Joints would be great retros down the line.

Is it possible to get a sz 12 in the philippines for a decent price now (less than 250)?

 

[seriouslynogame]

I thought the same thing as i posted earlier they are flat tubular laces and narrower.

I must have missed that, sorry.

I imagine it would be possible.  I got my 12s a little while back for 260.

what do you think will happen with the kobe line after he retires? think they will retro kobes often like pennys and barkleys? 

 

[jm1ke]

I hope they do what they do with the Jordan line. Keep making performence based basketball shoes . Don't really care for retro Kobe's but who knows in a few years I may want some older Kobe's

 

[axel f0ley]

I'm nut sure if this was covered earlier, but is the EXT version a suitable playing shoe?

my chinas came in today.

just a took a quick shot from my phone to compare the red fk and chinas. photo quality i know its not good. lol

and a quick try-on. they look way better in person. this is going to one of my favorites

Chinas look dope on feet.

I had no intentions of buying the Chinas ... then I put them on feet. And uhhhhh, I have 3 pairs now

This pics makes me now regret not getting the bee's., not like I haven't seenem before but add Moonwalkers and you got your Royal, Bred, Shadow 1 lineup!!!

Repped my man, especially on the double lace swap!

Thrillers doh......

Your guess is as good as mine man. Nike like to bring things back. I'm sure they have a list of how certain models & CWs sold out. They probably have an eBay analytics team as well looking at what sells more, and for how much to get an idea for releases down the line. Kobe's should retro though, folks would like a retro run of past releases.

 

[mj2324kb]

Negative..China's are one of the best KB9 models to release..Flyknit lows get too much praise

In my opinion I feel that your both right and wrong. I always felt the flynit lows get way to much hype. That being said I think the University Reds are better than the chinas. I personally really like the EM's this year.

I don't normally use this but here it goes....

THIS!

 

[isniker]

Live making a come back (for game kicks at least), 9s looks awesome compare to 2k

more, hopefully game play got better too

Everyone I asked who has both the Philippines and the China's say the chinas are better. It's a crazy shoe in person. I almost copped a pair of Philippines last night but then went back and looked at both and had to cop the China's.

I'm in the Philippines camp. The outsole and storytelling alone make them superior to the Chinas. But the Chinas are dope in person too.

 

[shaboy]

 
i passed on the chinas....the phillipines are way better to me. no way china is the best em. 

Agreed. The detail on the Philippines is insane and they pop way more in person.

 

[seriouslynogame]

Philippines >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chinas

 

[andersonjames]

The Philippines vs. China debate is easily solved. Just get both. They are both dope shoes. I still have to pick up a pair of Philippines. In theory. Always harder to go back and get something I missed when new **** is always dropping...
