my reaction when I saw that the nrg colorways are releasing exclusively in nyc

View media item 766984
But on the real eff nike for this one. nyc release makes 0 sense. i do approve of the non-rsvp though
 
Relatively they will be cheaper than Lebrons.

You have to remember these are the Kobe 9 Elite

The Lebron XI Elite will definitely cost more than $225.....it will probably cost at least $275

Whether it's an artsy-fartsy tale with lots of historical references or BS about eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...Nike needs to chill with the backstories

true dat...but the gullible will fall for it
 
I THOUGHT THE ELITE SERIES WERE PLAYOFF KICKS FOR THE RESPECTABLE SIGNATURE PLAYERS.

LAKERS GOING TO DA PLAYOFFS?
 
They use playoffs as a way to try to sell the elite more. But maybe the realize lakers may not make it and pushed Kobe's early or realized playoffs won't determine if people buy a shoe or not. Also the elite is just a superior version of the regular shoe that can save they can save the playoff gimmick

The masterpiece are one of the best colorways but it mite be headache to get, save up and try for the inspiration, and detail.
 
but how is this pair supposed to be laker inspired....no purple?


I used to think that it was Nike just enjoying ******* with us, but at this point I feel like Kobe has a hand in the "Lakers" pairs not having any purple.
 
Going to try and get the Masterpiece and Details. Those are two musts. Either one could be replaced with an ASG depending on price and colorway.

I feel the same about the Masterpiece and the Detail.

But if the ASGs are hot, that'll make 3 pair I'll be shooting for.
 
I remember reading something a while back about Derozan being a "Kobe Brand" athlete I wonder if he would debut an ASG color way in NO since I'm pretty sure he'll be there and Nick Young won't (granted Kobe passes).
 
the inspiration and masterpiece are a little similar to me, so I might pass on the masterpiece and then try and get the other 3 elites.

damn 750 for 3 pairs of shoes...
 
So how many elites will there be?  we have what, 6 colors out of how many?  I like the detail and inspiration ones.  i'm only doing one pair probably.  lol.  

Kinda worried about balling in these and getting them stepped on.  cleaning flyknit is not so easy in my experience.
 
On the basket revolution site I counted 10 total Elite Cw's including some labeled GS. So there's a few more at least.
