The original was $200. And the highs were $225. So nike releasing these for this price isn't too bad considering what they usually do when they retro shoes.

[@kennethspencer5081]

Imo the price is bad because they used react instead of zoom. React is fine as a carrier foam but being the lone cushion in a $200+ shoe is crazy

[@michaeltran2743]

@@kennethspencer5081the 9 elites came with zoom air insoles?

[@jtesla445]

I prefer em 9 low. These new protro shoes need better cushion or just add full zoom. Would love to see Nike allow us to buy extra midsole w better cushion

[@Banmej]

Can u do a video on all drop in midsole and what fit in the Kobe 8-9

[@jayrick_sgn]

Kobe 9 design was inspired by the boxing boots of Manny Pacquiao.

[@17an28]

Source? It was inspired by boxing shoes, no specific model.

[@jayrick_sgn]

@@17an28 You’re correct that there is no specific model but it was Manny boot.

we all know that the best protros were the first ones

I use LeBron 11 insole full length zoom. It fits perfectly with Kobe 9

[@michaeltran2743]

Yup. Loved that combo. How are your lebron 11 insoles holding up?

[@austintorres7675]

Can I use Serious Player Only midsoles here?

[@jessecrawford3897]

Yes

[@Bearlyontime]

Way too much! Not worth it

[@jessecrawford3897]

Nike needs to mass produce drop in midsoles with heel zoom or full length zoom cuz people would buy them like crazy.

[@FallenRaven]

Glad they released here in Germany.. maybe 5 pairs per size. Of course I wasn’t able to get it.

[@Nixxtrr]

Performance is poo..... But it has a Kobe logo

[@SLAPTALK]

NIKE hopes the NPC's won't notice. 🤖🤳

[@anantgupta_]

People be riding the kobe line just for its name even though most of the performance is mid at best

I can’t speak on every shoe but the Kobe 6 were good. Kobe 8 might be the best hoop shoe I’ve ever used. But Kobe’s take down models and team shoes were good too. Kobe had so many different shoes so everyone could get a pair and play in them, but Nike just profiting off this man’s death.

[@guppetto]

Nah. The Kobe 9 is a beast. Its well respected for its greatest of all time traction. It earned that respect because it's undefeated on dusty basketball gym courts everywhere around the world. You could literally play with not a care in the world in the Kobe 9 and never slide out, it was so good. Drop in Midsoles may not be everyone's favorite cushioning setups, but until the Lunerlon foam bottomed out it was amazing in the Kobe 9. As a performance shoe, it one of the greatest basketball shoes ever!

i never had an elite pair, but i always heard the EMs were better anyways, whether its the 9, 10, or 11. hopefully nike does some EM protros.

[@michaeltran2743]

EMs performed better, elites looked better

[@17an28]

Kobe 9s were my goat kobe shoe. Too bad they're only for resellers. F Nike. Include Vanessa too.

[@SPMNDK89]

I actually found them sitting at my local footlocker and considering I live in LA where we're all Kobe Stans, I'm was beyond shocked when they said they still had sizes available for the 9 and a full size run of the team color 8s that also dropped recently.
