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

[Quincy McCall]

Nike is cold-blooded for this one im not even gonna try but DAMN they look good

 

[iks mod]

Edit: leemelone beat me to it

In each pic I've seen, the mix of colors on the medial side flyknit have looked a little bit different.  As some have mentioned, each pair will be slightly different due to the production process for flyknit (or at least apparently).  

I have really grown to love these MPs... sadly, I am considering paying resale.  Just wish it wouldn't have to be that way 

 

 

[Hahahaha]

each pair of MP is a little bit different tho maybe that's causing the confusion

That's what I was afraid of. I want a more black pair, I don't need Skittles Kobe's.

Yeah, it's the same shoe. Using flyknit lets them make each pair unique, although it does look like the lateral side has more black than the medial side on every pair.

KOBE INSIGHT #7: INJECT SOME CHAOS.

Eric Avar: “Evolve the Chaos colorway and feature four distinct shades in the Flyknit’s four threads: red, purple, green and black. The Chaos colorway began with the Kobe IV in 2008 as a tribute to Kobe’s intrigue with the joker – let’s parlay that into the ‘Masterpiece’ colorway.”

Performance result: Distinction on the court. Absolutely no pair of the Masterpiece colorway are the same, they are all unique – like snowflakes. The Flyknit creation process weaves a one-of-a-kind upper so that no shoe is the same; the color blend is different on each shoe.

Looks like the lateral side has that black flyknit layer while the medial side doesn't, thus the contrasting brightness

damn looking good homie. I'm going to be picking up my pair Saturday morning and I have a game at 12. Not sure if I'll play in them because I'm testing out the Jordan XX8SE. Worn them once this week for a game and have to say they suck. After all the raves I heard about them I'm surprised. I'm coming from a Kobe 8. So mightttt use the Kobe 9, but probably give the Jordan one more try before I send them back to nike with a big **** you photo.  Let me know how these perform. I tried on my volt kobe 9 and did some moves and they seem to def have a better court feel than the Kobe 8. (I don't ball in white sneakers though).

iono bout you, but that **** pisses me off.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I'm really iffy about this Nike Vault release. Not sure I'd make it from the Vault to where I park my car...

People really that scared about Downtown? Thats not even a Bad Area lets be HONEST! And there is plenty of Safe spots to park your car bro.

Doesn't matter the area, it's never that great to walk around at midnight carrying a nice pair of shoes

I work on 5th and fig,

I wonder if I just park in my structure and walk to the vault.

IF I happen to win, I'd probably be killed on my way back yes? no?

Exactly.  Not everyone is a baller.  Wear them with your underwear if you want ...who cares.  

 

[Hahahaha]

There will be plenty of "men" wearing these with leggings and yoga pants :x

[travistouchdown]

Looks like I'm just gonna take the L. Surprised there is no mention of Kobe 9 ID???

There has been some hinting but nothing for sure.  Nick Young said something like "I can't wait for these to be on iD" in a phone interview with Nice Kicks.

Who knows though

 

[spaceorlando]

Do the people who ball realize the reason we have retros and all these CWs and Prelude Packs is because of the casual wearers? Ballers want to look cool on court and others off. I'm just waiting to see what the resell is gonna be. Masterpiece is a must for my collection. I'd rather pay $500 for what I want and content with 1 pair than 2 pairs I don't for the same price.

 

[flipballer]

Am I tripping or is it weird that got a call from a number only rang once then hung up. Called that number back and dude on the other line was wondering how I got that number. Do HOH use the store phone or their personal phones?

 

[alp]

they were setting up the display at gsp hoh yesterday, took some pics, pretty cool
