4s and 5s were great too.
Mmost of the commercial pictures use the really loud colorways that turns Joe Docker off.
People don't realize you can get them in standard white or black.... |

Correction: I'd like just once for Kobe to release some good looking shoes that don't sell out to the general public in 5 minutes, leaving all of the stores that people with jobs shop at barren, or stuck with stunted colorways. Sir, do you have the Kobe 9 elite lows? Yes. Do you have them in that awesome grey color? No, those were eaten up by people who slept outside in front of the store for a week and spent their SSI checks on sneakers, we only have them in kids sizes, but we do carry the adult sizes in (bleep)-you-neon-green and macho-man-randy-savage-chartreuse. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

I've never understood why they bother to make as many of the garish colored shoes as they do. This goes across all brands. The (bleep) colorways are always the ones leftover or marked down. |

In fact I do have some kobe elite lows in grey arriving in the mail soon. So can you CMB

And if the nike ID price tag is a bit steep for you, you can wait august for these bad boys to release in mass quantities

Yeah this happened to me last year. No Footlocker or Nike store in the entire Western PA region even had a single pair of 8s (in any size or color).
If you want them in specific size, style or color, go online to Nike.com and NikeiD them. I eventually got a pair of 8s for about $180.
The price has since gone up....to $205, $245 for the Elites. That's an expensive shoe. |

As great as a basketball player Kobe is, one would think he would have better shoes. Most of them weren't appealing to me, I never really liked Kobe shoes. I always liked Jordan, Duncan, Penny, and KD's shoes. I currently wear and hoop in different KD's. |
