I gave the Kobe 9 its first workout. I kinda regret not going a half-size up, but then again, I might regret not having a snug fit. I wore thick socks, so they were snug. I'll try thin socks next to see how they feel. I am not really sure what to make of the fit.
I've never played in a low top bball shoe before, but I have to admit, it is quite nice to have the mobility. I felt pretty fast. The cushioning is good. I didn't play a hard game, so I am still skeptical of how it handles in a game where I have to bang bodies.
More on the shoe as I ball with the shoe. It's in the rotation of the AJ29, UA Torch, and my Hyperdunk2014. Oh wait, I didn't mention I got me some Hyperdunks on here yet. Oh well, spoilers...
