The latest EMs look pretty DOPE on feet

The BHM...."I had a dream today..."

Well, for one, I don't buy used shoes.

1. A lot of people have bad hygiene.
2. A lot of people lie on how much they really wore the shoes.
3. There could be something wrong with the used shoes that they aren't upfront about.

$425 for used shoes? No thanks. I'd take my chances waiting for a new pair to pop up and I'd pay more. That's me, though. I don't want anyone's old smelly feet in my Kobe 9's.

Agreed with all of the above. Never have and never will wear used shoes. Not knocking people who do it but definitely ain't my steez

I don't even like for my own brothers to put there feet in my shoes but I am also a shower snob. I get anxiety whenever I have to use a shower that isn't mine so I keep shower shoes on deck. That's even in four or five star hotels, I don't like feet so the thought of sharing a shoe just creeps me out no matter how much you clean it. But again this is a personal thing for me lol.

These look cool on feet... But no way I'm paying close to retail

Let me know what views/parts you guys want pics of

Sad that Nike took what was obviously supposed to be the Easter Kobe 9 Elite and slapped the "What The" theme on it because they were too lazy to produce a real "What The" Kobe 9.

I don't honestly get the hate on them. Sure, it's not the same as years past where the shoes are "out there" and different and mis-matching. However, it is a clean look with cool execution.... I get not everyone loves the price tag but not bad by any means.

bro what ?

 

[bowb4me]

There was a Easter 9.

 

[ventureblake]

I'll take my chances AND the discount on a VNDS pair of shoes vs. DS any day.  If you aren't asking for the right pictures beforehand to verify the quality they are in, that's your own fault, but it isn't anything a good wipe down and some Lysol can't fix lol.  

The stuff WE ALL ingest and touch on the daily by accident....nah, shoes with my own socks on is the least of my worries

I don't hate em, I'm just saying. Look at the WTL 11 or WTKD 6, then look at these. I was just expecting Nike to follow suit and take pieces from other Kobe 9's and make a true "What The" shoe.

I know that. But knowing Nike, these probably were this years Easter themed shoe, if initially they were going to launch the Kobe X later on in the year.

 

[grimeyy]

Gonna bump this song to amp me up 2 min before BHM release tbh

 

[cannonoblock]

Another look.

Love the black/white contrast, just something is off putting.. The ankle print design hurts my eyes or somethin, looks like static

 

[tigo0240]

Reminds me of those damn scantron things the lazy teachers used.





There was always some poor bastard whose mom bought him #3 pencils

Pretty much!

These are more subtle than the 7 and 8. That is part of the reason I like them.
