They would of been nice if they were lows

there is a low coming out. only problem is from what i've heard the "lows" are going to have more of a midcut.  which sucks.  i loved the 8 because of the low cut

 
I hope these are incredible for basketball purposes because they have zero casual wear appeal whatsoever 

this x1000.  people gonna be walking around looking like nascar drivers

If the Nike Air Mag can be sported and weren't even intended to be worn on the reg, what u think folks gonna try with these?

If those smugly Mason Margiela w/e's and other space boots can be sported, need I continue?

Interesting the xx8 has definitely grown on me but these look better. Y'all can have this ugly ultra limited colorway though I need to see another colorway.

Ps if man or woman wanted to keep their job they should have not shared the pic. It's not anyone's fault but theirs.

 

[percy.]

Not sure if the pic I saw from twitter is real, but it shows that it's $180 and says available in color one and color two.

you know nothing about shoes

pretty much this.

we play in our kicks.. these kids just wear them for fashion

comfort > looks

 

[reener]

pics finally leaked huh

 

[welcometothetonezone]

I'm digging these

And for the record, I wasn't really a fan of the 8s when I first saw the sample pics. Instant hit in my eyes.

 

[sk33termcg33]

Give me that icy sole with gold specks and an all black fk upper and gold swoosh and I'm good!

 

[illest35]

Idk but I can sort of see a cut off for a mid or what have u.

About a little less than midway thru the circle I can see a mid or low or 3/4 or something.

Anyone else?

 

[sk33termcg33]

Couldn't really care less how Nike feels, they'll probably just jack up the price now...

 

[nelson999]

Maybe Jeff Gordon will start rocking Kobes.

 

[vegetaray123]

I could mess with these...I like the high cut profile...Like the XX8 minus that stupid shroud zipper combo...

Correction "Could..

 

[speedster31]

very nice, hope it will not disappoint performance wise...

 

[seandon23]

I would've liked these more if they were a mid. Deff would've been a nicer look imo but I'm curious to see what the mids will look like those May be the ones I cop

 

[CHAOSE57]

Not bad.

 

[super t1ght]

These are dope! Minus the circle. Very promising. Props for posting the pic!!!!

 

[sole searchin]

I. Am. Intrigued.

Flyknits on a basketball shoe plus that visible carbon fiber. I usually don't play in highs so hopefully a mid/low comes out. All my Kobe's get played in including grinches/Christmas 8s and these will be the same.

Comfort > looks in regards to basketball sneakers.

 

[super t1ght]

Can care less about that but as mentioned prior peoples careers are put in jeopardy when this occurs, we now know where certain ppls trust lies

So just so we know, how is someone's career in jeopardy just because a pic was anonymously posted online? Clearly the pic was been seen by tons of people already...

Why do you care about someone else's job? They put there own careers in jeopardy by putting the pic out there to begin with. Glad someone had the stones to finally post the pic.

Court performance over casual appeal

Unless there was a joke here I missed, he actually said it right the first time

 

[jretro23]
