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

[dark steel]

Some gotta sell these highs because now that the "hype" has died (along with that profit margin) they trying to get these FK lows...

Resellers see $$$ with these "Moonwalk" and Beethoven pairs...

It's nothing new.

how does sizing for EM lows (Philippines, Bruce Lee etc) compare to the Kobe 9 Elite high-tops ?
Same sizing or runs tighter ? I wear a Size 10 in the MP, what size in the EM Lows should i be getting ?

Thanks.

I love high tops. I suppose being a little taller and having longer legs makes them "look" a little better for me, but I just like the feeling of a nice high top.


Got a whole pile of Supra Skytops, the II being the highest and that's my favorite

Also picked up the reebok blacktop battlegrounds and those mothers are HIGH.

Did you have any kobe 8s? Get the same size that you got for those.

The EM 9s are a snug TTS with a tiny bit more length than the 8s. IMO.


The Elite Highs are basically TTS but they have a tall toe-box which results in a lot of wiggle room. More often than not, people who sized down .5 size on the Highs found they were too tight, and felt the slightly bigger shoe was better.

No Kobe 8s. I wear Size 10 in the Kobe 9 MAsterpieces.

 

[tigo0240]

Are you able to go to a store and try on a pair? That would be the best thing to do.


Do your size 10 MPs fit snug, loose, or perfect?

REPPED and ***hatin*** I had the perfect fit together now I'm considering switching up just to rock my Heros hahahaha

 

[tigo0240]

I could never pull off those Heros in shorts...not with my ghost-white legs

 

[goldenboyboxing]

Going to have a sparring session next week at the boxing gym. Seriously thinking of rocking these elites.

hilarious

I'm a big fan of the highs. I was a bit iffy about the height at first, but after having them in my rotation for a few months now, I got used to the height and love how they fit/feel. I just like how they offer something different from a bunch of the other shoes I have.

I think I still would've checked these out even without the Kobe connection just cuz I was a fan of flyKnit on the runners. I mostly wear bball shoes, so the first flyKnit bball shoe would've caught my curiosity.

Hey guys. I finally went and tried on a pair of the highs in preparation for the Influences dropping. All of this discussion about sizing down had me worried so I made sure I went to try the Golds on yesterday.

I'm a true size 9.5 in most sneakers, so I wanted to try on 9 and 9.5. Of course, they only had size 9.5. I would have rather tried on the size 9 then I would have definitely known if they'd be too tight. Anyway, the size 9.5 was okay. I definitely had room, but I wasn't swimming in them. Damn, I'm confused though lol.

Can anyone else give me a some advice? I'm strictly wearing them casually and that's it, which is why I think I should just stay TTS and get the 9.5.

For reference, I wear these sizes in other shoes:

Kobe VIIIs - 9.5
Kobe VIIs - 10
Kobe VIs - 9.5
Kobe Vs - 10
KD VIs - 9.5
KD IVs - 10
LeBron Xs - 10

Thanks.

 

[tigo0240]

9 would be uncomfortably small, especially for casual wear. Stick with the 9.5


Me:

Kobe VIIIs - 14
Kobe VIIs - 15
Kobe VIs - 14
Kobe Vs - 15
KD VIs - 14
KD IVs - 15
LeBron Xs - 15


Kobe 9 Elite - 14

 

[gtmorgan23]

I'm a 9.5 in almost everything and I tried on the 9 and it was too right. Have bothe EM and Elite and I wear a 9.5 in both.

 

[Hahahaha]

I guess now is the time to start looking for MPs. Might get lucky over the next few weeks.

 

[grimeyy]

Months later and ppl still talking about sizing lol
