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

[domosirchazzo]

YES.

IF YOU THINK WEARING AN ALL STAR SHOE THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE IS BETTER THAN MAMBA HIMSELF THEN THERES NO HELPING YOU

THERES NO WAY THAT WOULD EVER BE THE ALL STAR SHOE. EVER. NEVER EVER.

HOW IS SWAGGY P WEARING THEM VS THE HEAT THE PERFECT STAGE???

The player is injured and has been all season...THERE IS NO "PERFECT STAGE"

I'm not saying they are the ASG pair, I'm just not so blinded by mamba sauce to not see that Kobe's situation is not ideal for showcasing performance sneakers.

I can picture myself right now rocking them casually.

Then again, I can rock anything and make them look good. 

But thats just me. 

There has literally never been a shoe I felt like I couldn't wear well. I guess we're just cut from a different cloth

 

[xplosivejeff]

Watched game on tv, from afar they look great, up close pics they look like robot feet.

They are dropping around the same time as the release of Robocop so...

 

[oookillem]

Real glad that sir-sneakerton kid went to bed. must have school tomorrow....

That being said very happy with how nick young considered it an honor to debut them.

Love how the shoes looked on court.

Makes me respect him more.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

still cant get past the nickname tho

nike doesn't do too well with all-star stuff either though. yikes

lol

 

[ocjays23]

as much as i like the kobe 9 i don't see myself rocking these casually. i would on the other hand ball like crazy in them they seem like they would be really comfortable.

 

[kobe jnr]

How much do you think kicks crew will have these for?

 

[dbchoops]

These shoes have so much potential but I just can't get past the messed up back and built in elite sock. they shouldve extended the flyknit pattern atleast near the ankle, or added more carbon fiber...... and like I said NO sock thinkg. Then you could add your own socks and make the shoes even better looking. That said I'm still gonna get whatever color way Nick young is wearing.

 

[monstercookies]

lol funny cuz its 225 before taxes

 

[monstercookies]

same for me, love contrast more than matching

Repped!!! That's All I Needed To See!!!

 

[king93]

i def. am copping a pair just wish they drop an all blk everything flyknit 9

 

[isniker]

So is there a mid coming still?

 

[tatmantall]

No point in going back and forth at each other about if those are the ASG or not. The truth is none of us know yet. It's a fairly unique situation in how the shoe is being introduced so there is lots of unanswered questions as if right now. No need to argue.

 

[jking0821]

There really is no better person to debut them other then swaggy p
The highs still aren't for me....but the lows will be

I wonder how the Jordan XX8 sold...i would think that would be a precedent on making another "extremely" high cut shoe. And just going off public reception and on court time....didn't seem like too many people were into the XX8.

 

[potato]

So are all Flyknit versions going to be Elites?

And have they announced a Flyknit low yet?

I vaguely remember skimming through a list of colorways and dates but i forgot where it went or if it was even in this thread

 

[shaboy]

Thank god for Nick Young.

 

[fdub]

I'm really considering getting a pair on the 8th of February. The only issue I am having is the $225 MSRP..smh. Do you guys think these will be hard to get on niketown.com? Also, what other stores will be carrying these? Are these shoes limited??

 

[hood17]

Can't wait to see the PE 9 with the ASG uni

Is this the first time Kobe in a sleeve jersey?

If we get a Kobe IX shoe will one of his fellow all stars wear a pair? Maybe Bron

 

[sneakerjesus]

Kobe will be sporting the gold elite 9 for ASG

 

[spaceorlando]

Kobe isn't playing in the ASG this year. He said it himself last night.
