You're going to kick yourself if you don't cop the Xmas Kobe. Saw it today in person and it blew me away. I have to have it now myself. No question.

Not to re-open that can of worms, but based on the X so far, I'm going hard on the IX's here at the end. Glad I got the Candy Cane. And MM.You're going to kick yourself if you don't cop the Xmas Kobe. Saw it today in person and it blew me away. I have to have it now myself. No question.

Exactly what I'm doing. I'm splurging big time! I usually stayed locked in the Bron threads but I haven't seen a shoe I want since they launched the XII. Unless the X has a similar Elite, it's going to be a pretty dry Spring for me so I want to make sure I have plenty of Elites to wear lol

Yeah, I just figure I'll be taking it easy next year, well, easier than this year anyway.
Kobe's are the only sig shoe I have copped regularly for several years, so a big disappointment so far re: the X. Will just be a few specific silos next year for me, what with the III on the bench and Kobe's looking doubtful.

Is there going to be a high? Figured it would just be that one release.

I remember seeing a video where multiple people talked about the Kobe 10 being a high top. Not sure how accurate that is though.

Well, maybe the Elite will be a high top. It's easy to forget that the 9 started with Elite highs, then EMs, then Elite lows.
But seriously...that kobe X is not looking good. But I've got all the 9s I need. I'll wait to see the BHM and will cop those psychedelic EMs eventually.

Just opened my Xmas joints, phenomenal. Even with the camo candy cane sole. Every Elite I get I'm still impressed with, and I have a few.

Need some help with sizing info, would going half a size up feel alright in the elite high? I've had tts brave blues and they've felt alright, but I found a pair of details I might grab that are only a half size above my true size. Would they feel drastically loose, or would they feel about the same? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure, I've always gone TTS, I suppose half a size up will do if you're not gonna ball with them

Well...you be the judge. You say you've worn your true size. Did they feel loose?
The Highs are known to have extra space in the toebox (height). This would only increase along with the length. And although they're high tops, you can still get heel slip. Granted, with some thicker socks and a good lace-up, your foot will be contained. But depending on the money you're dropping...I'd be inclined to recommend staying true to size.

This also happened to me when I cleaned them with the Jason Mark cleaner. I managed to get rid of the purple dye by taking a cold damp rag and rubbing the areas that is effected. Make sure the Flyknit doesn't get too wet, I think the fabric that's underneath the flyknit bleeds when wet.

Still waiting for my Christmas pair to come in but I saw some cat wearing them at the gym yesterday and I actually complimented him and I never really give someone daps on their kicks. But when I saw them in person I was shocked.
