Come on Rock, you had me with you for a minute! The 2k4's did well from that dope shoe morph commercial, during the NCAA's, not because of Kobe! In fact, nobody really knew that this was supposed to be his shoe! Then the 5's didn't do nearly as well in sales. With me being of the generation...

Rock Deep, the LA Color Converse Weapons did and do very well here, the Magic Johnson joints...people just don't like Kobe Bryant. BASKETBALL IS A BROTHERHOOD "but alot of the things Kobe does I would never have done." MJ in GQ

Steve Nash is a hip, easy going dude. I've played against him in Central Park during the summer. Those who know, know that this is the place to play ball during the summer evenings in the City. He is careful, but approachable, as he can walk down the block in NYC, then not be noticed if you...

:eek :lol @ Chris Chicago Rock Deep, You the man! I bow, and then understand! But don't you think that Nike shot themselves in the foot, pun intended, for letting Kobe run around in something that people, his fans, would actually want? BASKETBALL IS A BROTHERHOOD "but alot of the things...

"or is that marketing again?" Of course it's marketing. I had someone tell me here that a specific shoe featuring Zoom as the main 'tech', was meant for Guards, and this is why I must have had a bad experience in this shoe. Magic Johnson was a Point Guard, correct? He is bigger than me, so how...

So you are saying that if a player has a sig shoe with Nike, he has to wear what the Nike marketing dept tells him to wear? Okay, I gotcha. But that still doesn't explain why Kobe wore different colorways of the ZK1, those that didn't reach the stores that season. Lebron had issues with the...

Rock Deep, What you are saying about what a player wears is not totally true. I have had buddies who played in the league those who've had deals with Nike. However, I wont even use them as example. I do know that Steve Nash was forced to stop wearing that little funny shoe he wore, they...

^^^Who are you? :lol Since you can only jump as high as per your ability to land, a shoe that has too much cushioning will create a different response upon the muscles firing, in order to create explosion. The foot looks for leverage, more stability, so it can allow maximum output. If you...

Air J XIII, Your point about him shooting around in 2K5's, in a commercial that should have had the ZK1's in it, which were released at that time, kinda proves my point about Nike not having any control over what this guy wears, even in a nationally televised commercial for the Brand! I don't...

Rock, I respect that Nike is your crew, and from what I know, you've never come at me from the left. But in all honesty, with the way that this guy Kobe acts, especially with his antics with the Laker front office and Jerry Buss, a team that he is contractually, then should be MORALLY, binded...

I am not talking about retail stores RockDeep, I am speaking OUTLETS just like the thread above. Correct me if I am wrong, but outlets only recieve top Sig shoes, if they are RTV'd, or recalled or then have an overrun, right? BTW, I don't go to a few stores for my info, as much as you would...

George Bush really believes that he is fighting and winning a war on terror. He is allowed to speak and think that way, being that he is the President of the United States. But on the home front, there are those who see things a bit differently, even though they may not have the so_called...

What about those "Love me or Hate me", ads???? I saw ads all over Slam, and billboards, about his shoes. They were simply rejected. Here's a little ditty about Kobe from Esquire Mag Nov 07 issue: " He sees his work as his art, his calling. Like Jason Bourne and James Bond, two of his...

The ads are in Black and White in the mags. I hope that Nike notices that the White/Black illusion of those ads, make the shoes HOTT in that colorway. But I'd bet they wont... BASKETBALL IS A BROTHERHOOD "but alot of the things Kobe does I would never have done." MJ in GQ

RockDeep, 1. Kobe failing as an endorser IS Nike failing. The Vick situation doesn't help this, with Kobe's Q rating dropping even further after this offseasons "trade me", events, making him look even more like the spoiled, petulant individual, who cannot understand the word no, makes...

RockDeep, BTW I think that you'd be surprised to see what winds up in Marshalls from NIKE these days, especially in the popular size ranges. They don't sell sizes 14-15, so I often miss out on the really hip stuff. Converse is repped very well there as well, such as the Wade I's. BASKETBALL...

^^^^ Agreed. However, we are in the minority on this site! This sort of logic doesn't necessarily mean anything, when most of the wearers here do not play in their shoes. It's a popularity contest, one based upon heresay. I had issues while playing in cushioning setups featuring Zoom Air, never...

RockDeep, From what I understand, there weren't many of his Olympic shoes produced, correct? To say that the Kobe II shoe did well isn't much of a stretch, considering how bad the I's did, even if it did only 5% better with less distribution. I do know for a fact that the Black and Maize were...

It's not a personal opinion. Every store here RTVed those shoes, as a friend and I went to the Fartlocker on 34th to look for a pair for him, and they didn't have any, and it wasn't because of good sales. They sent them out, RTVed. Now they got the book out then said they could order from the...

The Marshalls on 125th Street and the one in Portchester, has the White/Purple/Gold ZK2 for 39 dollars. I don't own a camera therefore cannot post pics, nor would I want to post pics of them as proof anyway. Here's the number 212 866 3963. Call and ask them yourself. * Edit: it's "prove it"...
