Very good point. Also the NCAA season is about to kick off (pun intended), I wonder if the IV's are going to be as prevalent with the college players/teams.
I understand the Draft Day colorway releasing first to coincide with NBA ASG being in Charlotte in February however everything else regarding this release baffles me.
I'm starting to see the CDs on players at my pick up games. To your point if Nike released some hot colorways even at $175 I think they would move units and of course even more if they dropped the price.
Completely agree on the Kobe line! I feel like they were trying to do too much with the 7, I copped a couple of pairs but just ended playing in the 6s which is one of my top 3 favorite of the line.
I get their is a large segment that buy kicks because they like a certain player and thus purchase their signatures. That has never been me. I purchase performance shoes which fit the way I play and provide the cushioning and support I need in a shoe.
I have been purchasing Kobes shoes going...
Maybe some have forgotten but many of today's NBA players worship him and have adopted his Mamba Mentality like DeRozen and Kyrie (goes 7 for 23 and says he should have taken 30 shots)
