Just getting rid of the snakeskin on the upper should be crime. It was literally a part of Kobe's identity Wait is that wide satin ribbon-style laces I see on these?...:emoji_expressionless: These MUST be a personal pair for Vanessa.

What performance advantage does a player have when you turn the entire upper into canvas and cute little embroidered rose petals on it? Leave that for a separate Kobe lifestyle shoe. Not to mention the shoe looks like grandma's furniture. Shoe looking like it comes with plastic wrap for your...

Nike once again saving its best color blocking/colorways for PEs (that Kobe 4) I understand the exclusivity aspect but DAMN smh a good amount of the retail pairs (outside of original re-releases) seem to have zero effort

Especially when Kobe originally wanted the Flywire panel for weight reduction since he was rightfully obsessed with details Nike is def cutting corners from a manufacturing standpoint

Resale price of the Kobe 6 Statue of Liberty have gone through the roof (of course) The Kobe 5 NY vs NY went up about $100 Bigger sizes for the Kobe 6 have hit over a $1K from bouncing around $500-600 earlier in the year smh

Closest new shirt design I've seen to the original Kobe line in a long time. Wondering if it's at least Dri-Fit I don't know about the the big gaudy swoosh on the back though smh

They're also building a player ecosystem around Kobe Brand to add legitimacy to the brand. Also if Nike only released the classics they'd create burn out and they would literally run out of shoes to release

I can tell you right now this will be a problem at the retail level (if these aren't Nike exclusive) Bags will be unsealed/re-sealed or just unsealed altogether and sold normally to prevent constant returns

If it’s a “Max90” tee that could be it. That’s basically Nikes oversized shirt option

I assumed it was but wasn’t sure fully. That must’ve been part of the agreement when Kobe’s Estate agreed to deal again with Nike in 2022

Nike (or whoever) deciding to gradient side to side instead of a gradual gradient front to back (like the PEs) is criminal.

Live on SNKRS now for Dec 11th SNKRS Draw this time

That makes a lot of sense. Most of the younger crowd doesn't even see past the Kobe 4, 5 or 6 And all the 9 re-leases or very easy to get outside of the China 9 Em's So this new Perspective 9 Low are really for people that remember and appreciate the original Perspective 9 High release; other...

China Ems are up on SNKRS now November 22nd
