THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 8-24-24

Sold out on SNKRS? I still see sizes or does it give you error when you add to cart? Some FTL are releasing today so I'm gonna try them on when I pick up my Royals.
 
just got through on the grey pair after getting pumped faked more than kawhi on the thunder last night.

SNKRS was buggin since 10. kept showing FSR then giving errors upon placing order and then said sold out. checked in stock tab and it was still available, then repeat. guess they fixed it now.
 
^ yeah man you already know :smokin but knowing ebates i'm probably gonna have to claim it manually in a couple weeks lol
 
I got the grey nxt on snkrs app. I tried at 7am and it said sold out and tried again just now and got one. I don't know if I'm gonna keep em but definitely worth checking out.
 
i think theyre aight, i like them over the AD's,,,definitely not paying retail for these tho.

if these perform crappy then im officially done with copping kobe's/some nike products.
 
Damn people paying $200? Would cop at $100 strictly for ball

:lol you'll be back.
 
So I got to try them on. It's a glove like fit but it's the softest (true)Flyknit on the Kobe yet. If you felt the Kd 9 elite then you know. Kinda slight struggle to put on but when it your foot is contained and I didn't mess with the lacing. Fits TTS but wide footers might want to try on before hand.

No idea how the lace gonna stay in place to the back wire. I took the shoe off before putting the lace like that so might work when the shoe is on.

Fairly light, if you didn't like the bulky AD then these will put you back to the XI. Cushion is lower to the ground to the Ad.

Not worth $200 but I'll cop in a black colorway on sale $160 at best, lower if possible.
 
Just came back from picking up my Royals, and they had the Volt NXTs.  They aren't bad, but in person they look like they should be $100 like the Mamba Instinct, etc.  They didn't have the grey pair.   As of 1:30, they didn't move a single pair.  'Team Discount', these will be a W for you in a couple months.  
 
sounds good, thanks for info guys. hoping they'll go on sale sooner than later like those all star 6s. i'd cop for what the XI EM prices are now.

Copped the volt and will get a MC version if they drop! Love the A.D.s so I'm sure I will like these too
 
Saw the volts in person.  They're ok, but the PG1 looks more expensive at $110.  If you think you might want these I would check them out before you buy them online.  
 
Not a fan of midsole speckle, but it's not that noticeable on these. Definitely like the shoe, but no way I could justify spending 200 on them especially when some Kobe 11s I missed are still sitting.

you'll be back.
lol probably

just cant believe how lazy nike have become with theyre latest designs. the Mentalities have better specs than the AD's and theyre retailing for almost half the price. and now theyre doing false advertisements with some of their products. really nike? smfh man.

You're not kidding.  I think the Infuriate is a better design, and that's pretty nondescript (KD-like).  And that's an $80 shoe.  If you replaced the air with zoom, and the mesh with Flyknit, obviously it would be substantially more.

Kobes have been nondescript and minimalist too, but it's what they did with it.  Stuff like Cloaks, Curials, etc.  The only ADs they are doing something with are the PEs.
