Yoooo what is going on everybody I am back again this is AD604 and this is my sneaker
YouTube Channel.
Today we are featuring one of the ... my most anticipated shoe, performance basketball shoe
of the year and that is the Kobe 11.
Look at these things.
Let me start off by saying that the Kobe 11 looks freaking sick.
The Kobe 11 features a FlyKnit upper, a drop in midsole, and a traction that looks decently
promising.
And I must say I am very excited to play in the Kobe 11.
Now this video of course is going to be my initial performance review.
Let me start off by saying that I expect the Kobe 11 to be a excellent shoe on court.
And it will be, the Kobe 11 will be, better than the Kobe 10.
And let me take a few minutes and tell you exactly why I think of that.
So starting off with the traction of the Kobe 11.
Now this time again on the Kobe 11 we have something similar to the Kobe 10, but it is
sort of ..thicker.
The Kobe 11 does feature a very interesting looking outsole traction pattern, but I think
these will be performing excellent on court.
There is also this weird dip in the middle of the shoe.
I dont know what it is for maybe it is for compression when you actually put pressure
on the shoe, but I think this is one of those things that you actually have to try on court.
But from looking at it, you know just feeling the rubber, stuff like that , trying it on,
I think the traction is going to be excellent.
Also that can also be referred to the previous two models where the traction was also top
notch.
So you can expect Kobe 11 to have some good traction.
Now getting away from the traction of the Kobe 11, uh lets get into my favorite and
most exciting part of the Kobe 11 and that is definely this drop in midsole that they
put back in the shoe just like the Kobe 8 and the Kobe 9.
This is the Kobe 11 drop in midsole.
As you can see it features a zoom bag in the back while the full carrier is Lunarlon and
also the forefoot is cut out.
In this drop in midsole alone, there is three Nike top technologies implemented in the Kobe
11 and that is of course the Free, the Zoom Air, and Nike Lunarlon.
And to be honest with you the Zoom Air in the back is definetly great quality.
It is big and it is thick.
You can press on it, you can feel it compress.
It is bottom loaded but on top of that is Lunarlon on the Kobe 11.
I think this midsole is going to be hella comfortable for the Kobe 11.
The Kobe 11 drop in midsole also have some like fabric on it so it gives you that extra
friction that you need so you are not really sliding around when you are sweating more.
Ok so we covered the outsole and the midsole of the Kobe 11, now lets talk about the upper.
The upper this time for the Kobe 11 Low Elite is a uh full on FlyKnit upper with you know,
sort of the plastic wiring inside as reinforcements.
So the structure of the shoe, of the Kobe 11, will be coming from the plastic wire inside,
but the FlyKnit on the upper is there to give you that comfort, form fitting flexible upper.
And as far as I am concerned, the Kobe 11 is very very flexible.
Now I am flexing the shoe with the drop in midsole inside as well as you can see that
the Kobe 11 is pretty bendy.
It is pretty good you know range of motion stuff like that.
It is a pretty good shoe.
The Kobe 11 also have a very very interesting tongue.
It is not ventilated or ProCombat in any sense, but it sort of have like these uhm snake scales
on the Kobe 11 tongue.
I think it is very very nicely patted and made of very premium nice material.
And I did try them on and they are pretty comfortable on feet and I am very happy with
that.
One last thing I want to say about the Kobe 11 regarding performance is that uhm your
collar area is very very well patted and contoured.
So I think heel slipping is not going to be an issue in this shoe.
And while I was trying it on the lock down is definetly great.
You do have flywire on the side but it is sort of not that obvious.
It is sort of like, uhm, you know weaved in the shoe but it is definetly there.
You also have two out riggers on the shoe, one in the front and one in the back.
This is very much similar to the Hyperfuse 09.
The Kobe 11 has that same feature.
And to conclude the reason I expect Kobe 11 to be a excellent excellent on court performer
is that because one it has zoom air in the heel, 2 the forefoot is cut out like a free,
3 is a whole drop in Lunarlon midsole for the Kobe 11, 4 the Kobe 11 has a FlyKnit upper,and
5 is that I hope the traction on the Kobe 11 is beastly.
That is all I can say for the Kobe 11 at this moment.
I do need to try them on court to see how they feel like.
Uhm that would take care of it for the Kobe 11 Initial Performance Review.
