idk if you mentioned it before but what CF issue are you talking about on the elite homes?Originally Posted by casper90403
^i at first was bothered with the piss yellow flywire lines, but I got use to it. I dont even notice it. I love them. Such a clean shoe. try them on with some khaki american eagle shorts and they look great.
And it seems every left pair had issue with the carbon fiber. The NTSM guys were offended with me mentioning that to them after I checked out 5 pairs just to see if I could find a clean one. They were literally all messed up.

not sure how to properly word this, but the left carbon fiber looks glued together in two spots. Looks like it cracked twice. 2 very noticeable lines that form as it curves. The right shoes dont have it, and its one seemless CF.Originally Posted by micon111

I'm not a Kobe fan at all, appreciate his game, just don't care for him for whatever reason. Never owned a pair of Kobe's but I love these homes. I had $120 in giftcards so was able to cop for $94. Ordered from ndc and am excited to get them in the mail this week.
No wonder consumer are sheep
No, that's why I bought a pair...
yeah i have those in my both elite aways but the connection is a clean fix. hardly even noticeable but there are some done w a messed up job. smh. my beef is the lines where they cut the CF on top and below is really rough. wish they could have sanded it down to smoothen the cut since they only put it on top of the shoe not like in lebrons w the CF and the leather of the shoe meeting together.Originally Posted by casper90403

If you think the $200 was the main reason resellers stayed away, you're wrong. If they weren't your basic white/black and gold shoe they would've been eaten up. Yes the Big Stages were also those colors but they had "history" to them. It was a bad timing to market these gold Elites. Should've done Laker colors that he's going to wear in the Playoffs and if the Lakers were to make the Finals release the gold pairs, winning it all or not.

^^ good point but nike knew what it was doing. what if the lakers won't make the finals? w this, they played it safe rather than release a cw for the finals w no lakers on it. that won't sell much. or worse, won't release at all. i can see this happening w the KD line perhaps if they make it in the finals.
