Just played in my halo 9s and I totally understand what you’re saying about the lacing system. Had to relace tight every now and then just to get a good lockdown, but hopefully it’ll get better after it breaks in
Bro can you give me advice i have a wider foot is that okay if i go for true size on kobe 9 elite low? On jordan low my size is 10.5 is a little bit big for me is it okay if i go to 10.5 too on kobe shoes?
Depending on the intensity of your practices and sheer volume, if you practice on a pro level (8+ times a week plus games ) they will last you a realistic 3 months max but if you have a shoe to kill for practices and exchange with the Kobe 9’s you could do a full season but you should get at least 1 pair of shoes for half a year (because shoes bottom out) so with you getting new shoes they have that springiness and so on
Im indifferent about em. ALWAYS wanted a pair of 9s, but i just hit on the Gold Medal 4s. I also have the halo 8s. I think imma pass on these😭. Solid review tho!!
Nahh. It’s honestly pretty rare for outsoles to wear out quickly if you only play indoors. But if you need it to last you years and years, better off buying two cheaper pairs of shoes for the price of this one
Nah there will be chipping and fraying over time but nothing that will impact performance. For my og pair the outsole itself ripped apart before the traction ever failed. This was after 3 years of usage. Funny thing is that the shoe was still very usable with a ripped outsole. One positive about drop-in and minimal cushioning!
Wore mine to play in the other day and not impressed. Cushion is non-existant, lock down is fine but upper is very flimsy. Probaly won't play in again, casual only i think.
In HS I played in Kobe 11 elites with the flyknit and Kobe 11 EMs with a cheaper synthetic upper. Played a ton in both pairs and loved them, but the laces on the flyknit upper definitely loosened up as you played, usually had to lace them up again tight at each quarter break. The EM upper didn’t have issues, laces stayed firm on the first lace for entire games and runs. I think its the knit upper being a bit more conforming and allowing for more movement and plushness, which then allows the lace eyelets themselves and the laces to relax as you play. Flyknit felt great and super soft but generally preferred the EM since the laces remained tight.
How would you implement a zoom strobel with a full drop in? 😂 they coul add a zoom bag on the drop in though Edit: I think the padding in the tongue is thicker in both High and low vs their OGs
Ever heard of the GT Cut 1? I think you are misunderstanding what Zoom strobel is. Why is it that the GT Cut 1 has exactly what you said they can’t do?

Hey @DGhoops how did your Halo 9’s age over time. Did they turn yellow on you?

I feel lke the traction has less squeak to it then the OG pairs
Which of these two shoes would you recommend for a 7 year old. Kobe 8’s or Ja Ma1 both Ps shoes
Nike Sabrina 2 is the best Nike b-ball shoe out in many opinions. Modern Kobe 5
Ja 1 forsure, I've heard great things about the Ja 2 tho so maybe check those out.
Do u think i will be able to play in this shoe for 7 months or more? (Indoors)

I am a fast guard with many direction switches and likes to shoot the ball
Sold I pick Kobe 8 protro or Kobe 9 protro or Kobe 4 protro
I love court feel, especially something like gel hoop v15s gel burst 27 shockwave 5 pros
definitely kobe 4 protro
These or the gt cut 3? Pure performance
These. But GT Cut 3 for more than half off is practically a better option for the price
Bro please rewive harden vol 8 luxury red

Appreciate it bro
If you only play indoors, would the durability be a big problem?

I only played indoors and it is fraying so while it won’t be a big problem it won’t be most durable like I said

what’s better these or the highs?
Im think these because you can jab or cross better because of more ankle movement
You shoot like chef curry 😮
Thanks bro
these go with my dress clothes i will not be using these on dirt 😂😂

How u get them before launch dammm
Resale platform called KICKS CREW
@@DGHoops how u do the shoe rotation?
Can't add a strobel when you have a drop in. You can add zoom to the drop in though.
Explain the GT Cut 1 then. Drop in midsole with Air Zoom Strobel.
