Ain't that the truth. Also, where's the AJ 3 inspired pair??? No way it was those Crimson's. I'm not buying that.

I could not agree more. I feel Nike missed a huge opportunity. A shoe with so much potential, and all the quality releases were limited as you mentinod. Terrible ID options this year. The 8 had a much stronger drive and I own 5 pairs of the 8, and that is only about half of the ones I wanted to cop. Not to mention way better ID options. This year I only feel like I missed out on the MC ID's, Masterpieces and the HTM stuff. I only picked up the details, and the Easters on discount. I even think the lebron 11 line had more solid cws than the kobe ix and that is shameful. Nike screwed up big time. I only hope the kobe X makes up for it.

I missed out on the MP, ASG, Influence and PP. But to be honest, I felt the colorway and iD execution on the 8 was better than the 9.
There's probably about 10 really worth while color ways (MP, ASG, Showtimes, Influence, Details, Beethovens, Moonwalker, Philipines, Chinas, Kungfu and probably the ultra limited HTMs).
I agree, they made all of the sought after designs hard to obtain (despite the dissenting opinion). KPs were readily available. Masterpieces, not so much.
The 8s were crazy. I will say I like the elite more on the 9 than 8 (only because they're so radically different from the EM).
I just feel like the creative juices at Nike are a little bankrupt right now with Soooo many lines and color ways releasing.

There were a few colour ways of both the 8 and 9 that would sell out quick, but Nike being Nike decided to give us trash.
8 - amnesty, home, inlines, elite homes
9 - inline highs, black pair, htm ...
I hope we see the elite highs on nikeid even if it's a QS.

I know this isn't the thread but I think the kobe 5 was probably the best kobe sig. imo Right up there with the kobe 8 and the kobe 9.
how would you guys rate the nike kobe models 1-9?

IMO it's more a case of wanting what you can't have with those 8s... Were those better than some of the bottom dweller CWs? Sure, but they don't hold a candle to the better CWs.

the 5's were overrated. they looked the best out of all the sigs, but performance wise they weren't that great FOR ME.
the 6's were the best, DAT ZOOM
and then the 8/9's i agree it has somewhat to do with wanting what we can't have, but personally i loved the 2 tone sole/midsole combo they did and those amnesties were amazing. that's why i love my sulfer's so much.

The Kobe V, once broken in, had about a 2 week window of being the greatest shoe I have ever played. After the 2 weeks, the material couldn't hold up and would become flimsy and wouldnt hold the foot as well and I could feel the side material stretching out.

I wish these had the gum outsole rather than the orange outsole.

5;s were easily the best performers
if someone had a ton of inlines DS id give up all my DS 8's and 9's for em easily.

I've played in all the kobe low cuts so I can only account for 4-9. Imo 9>5>4>8>6>7
I just really hated the 7s. The 4s were crazy when they came out though easily best shoe of the decade for me.

Not sure if posted, but for all you closet (and extra loud) EXT Snakeskin High fans, they are available in size 9-10.5 for about $240 shipped (no tax unless in Michigan I believe). Also, site is legit if you have not ordered from them before.

guys like Nightwing, FoamerSimpson, BULL1TRC, etc...Champs sent them pairs of the mangos and they do their little review and say nice things (because they want to continue to be sent free shoes) but then you never, ever see them again
