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

[mlighter]

 
bit the bullet for $375 on Masterpiece sz 10. Deal or nah? Should i have held of for a better deal?

$375 is probably closest to the cheapest resale you'll find right now.

You plan on ballin in these or just casual? 375 is a lot for just balling

i dont tbh. despite what others think or say...these are a thing of beauty and can be pulled of easily if done right casually.

Hopefully this link works.. Kobe IX Elite shot w/ a gopro

@waverder you're a sponger? nice shore break pics...guessing seal beach? don't see too many water people that are also into bball or shoes.

My local HoH only raffled KD LBJ KD & both Retro VI. Only one person other than me got tickets at opening this morning. Liking my chances on copping all 4.

Lol you just said it yourself, Only one person other than you got tickets at OPENING this morning. Todays the first day they're doing the raffles, you can still enter it tomorrow. Doesn't matter which day and time you enter. You'll find your chances if you go to your store when the raffle has closed and you're able to see the entire list of who mark down the same size as you. Common sense bro, if im the first to walk into a store right when it opens and its the first day they're doing raffles, of course i'm only gonna see my name there, Doesn't mean my chances are increased because i'm one of the first to sign up.

just got a raffle at FTL for the ASG's...there were about 4 FTL's within a 60 mile radius that carried the ASG's.  Really hoping people focus on the AJ 6's releasing this weekend and forget about the ASG's lol

Did the same but only hit up two. Not sure how many miles tho.

 

[kushcommander]

woohoo! thanks to niketown for the restock on the whole prelude pack

 

[Magic33]

how does the FTL VIP rewards work? i have a code for $10 off and another for my birthday ($25 off $150 or more). they don't stack so i'd give them away to two people. I won't be using either so I'm thinking of donating them one of you guys on here who wins the raffle. is this possible? can a VIP member here buy on their VIP membership but still use my coupon code for $25 off?  

The manager or store might not let you use a birthday coupon on a QS release. That's what I heard came down from FTL.

You can use the $10 if it's an actual VIP reward that came on the bottom of your receipt.

Seriously, anyone with a smaller size...8, 9, 10...if you've got a minute measure the back of the shoe. I'm really curious

View media item 797252
7.7 inches from the bottom of the edge of the heel to the top. 7.9 from the floor to the the top

Edit: size 8.5

 

[eltouha]

yeah but if more were available, more will sell.

 

[grandtheftbike]

just did a chat with nike

Me: Will the Kobe 9 All-Stars releasing on Friday be a twitter link only release?
Ariel: It shows it will release on Nike.com.
Ariel: Is there anything else you need/
Me: Yes, I know but will phone orders be allowed?
Ariel: It does show that they are.
Me: Thank you very much
Ariel: Thanks for contacting Nike. Have a great week.
You have disconnected.

she played it safe as hell and stuck to the script

 

[datboi81]

hoping the news of the triple pack being a general release are true. I really only want the perspectives!

 

[grandtheftbike]

i would probably consider copping a second pair if the MPs were grs

 

[YepYeppers]

 
Any sneaker that is a GR will sit. If the Red Octobers were GR, they will also sit. That's why it's GR,  genius. Innovation at its finest, would I really want this to sit on the shelves if I'm Nike? Here you go http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/masterpiece  

So you'll have a better understanding

Gosh I hate comments like this. Smh

Actually some GRs sell out. Sometimes the demand is just really high like for the breds. Nike made more than a typical gr for those and they still sold out

not sure if srs...

there have been a ton of GR's that have not sat on shelves.

i haven't followed this conversation one bit, but just reading what I quoted, that makes no sense haha.

 

[bdrake823]

Jordan XI's are GR's so that argument is invalid

 

[dat6]

think these are both sadly PEs..

maybe the ones kobe wore in that one pick when he was on the sidline...

the white ones are clean AF

btw.. Those FADES look beautiful too...

A purple gradient Kobe 9 IX Elite sounds amazing too...

 

[dat6]

one more pic!

 

[irybreadi]

^remind of the Kobe VI PoP

 

[jadaqwest]

man fingers crossed on the FCFS 

 

[bdrake823]

Here's a pic comparing heights of the other 3 kobe shoes that were not mid/lows.  They are significantly higher

Also a few glamour shots of course

Last pic, had to throw a pic in there with the only prelude's I was able to get, my favorite pair personally, need to find the 2's and 3's though

 

[mwalker]

Just a question to you guys if I were to buy something off Nike EU and I used a forward shipping service and didn't use a UK billing address but just used PayPal would that be good?

 

[kriztheanswer]

Nike LA hasn't mentioned nothing about the Kobe 9 maestro being rsvp :/

 

[bullet31]

Hoping these will be id'able in the future.

I agree after seeing them in person Im glad I got them on rd... havent thought of the casual fit/look but Im leaning more towards lacing them up on the court and give my 5s a rest lol
