Don't know about everyone else's em and kobe 8's but I switch between the black gold elite heel zoom and cushlon inserts to the superhero forefoot and heel zoom phylon inserts, and the LUNARLON regular inserts and love them. The superhero are my go to kobe 8 set up. But all of my kobe 8 pairs' engineered mesh have held up perfect. Nothing to where its a fault on the shoe, to me the em is amazing. Lightweight breathable and no creases. Been durable to me. But talkin about the 9's, my masterpieces should be arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to ball in these babies.Lebrons got armor posite, lunarlon and full length zoom
And Melo's got flightplate and zoom with tougher and more premium materials than the XX8.
Some guys gas certain sigs because of their love for the player.
It remains to be seen how great the 9's will be.
Between the insert bottoming out and the EM stretching and loosing shape so easily, I really don't understand the infatuation with the 8's
While many may think otherwise, I agree with you here! hahaLol I like the KDs
Zoom in the forefront air max in the heel.
Lightweight material with great lockdown.
Maybe the best low cut shoe available right now, especially for the price.
I had a feeling this might be the case from the get go...For the guy that said the flyknit seems to be lined with tpu, I agree it's lined with. Something, almost seems like the sane fuse used to reinforce the em of the 8 but instead of the cage they used on the 8 they literally completely lined the flyknit with it.
The tip of the toe box and the midfoot are definitely reinfored and stiff. The flyknit over the big toe joint has some give and overall the flyknit at the flex point has less reinforcement. I'd say stay true to size with these because the changes in material are very sublte. I wear an 11.5 in Kobe 8 but an 11 in these fit perfect and I have a wide feet.

Does it seem this way throughout the entire upper? Is it just very thick flyknit up front?
Thanks for the thoughts. Interesting too that you said this lunar has more of a micro G feel. Looking forward to trying that

The flyknit feels nothing like the lunar flyknits. I don't want to say its more for show but its nowhere near as soft.
Those are too ill!!! That all white flyknit is probably hard as heck to clean though. Still waiting for the hype to die down/ID to cop a pair of these. The early performance reviews got me worried though.
good point kathy, these folks are a different kind of hypebeast in my opinion......they "need" to have the newest bball shoes on court or they'll die or something!.......yet they call others hypebeast for coppin em casually
Ballers can always get a pair to hoop when other colorways come out as general releases, so I don't see the point of ballers being angry at those who got the masterpiece and rock em casually(plus they may ball in em too). The shoes belong to them, they like the shoes and can wear them in whichever way they like, so stop expressing your anger of not getting a pair by judging ppl's taste, its really childish.
