I feel bad for kids these days.
simple fact, nike needs to make more shoes and make them widely available in brick and mortar. enough to kill the resale game.
i might be showing my age but remember in the 90s and you could walk into a suburban footlocker OUTSIDE OF THE US and buy the latest...
Yeah **** resale. Was gonna pay a small markup for 5 rings locally but decided no last minute. The more you buy resell the more it encourages resellers. I know it won’t make a difference but it’s all about principles.
Weird question. I have OG dark knights and the heel section of the sole rubber has “dried out” so it’s hard and won’t grip on hard wood. Has this happened to anyone else’s OGs and any way to fix ie using conditioner/chemicals...? Just asking otherwise I guess I’ll just keep them on the shelf for...
In all fairness Kobe V Chaos is a top 5 Kobe model/colorway combination of all time.
But also agree, Nike dropped the ball on the new Protro designs like Protro big stage, undftd etc. It's like they don't know how to color block it.
Dark Knights, OG Big stages, 5 rings, Lower Merions, All...
What's your top 3 colorways so far (of the protros)?
For me:
1. Chaos
2. 5 rings
3. EYBL Girls
Personal opinion: Big stage mash up is vulgar. Just give us the damn OGs man.
TBH praying like a mf Dark Knights happening but doesn't look like it.
This is the peak of Kobe demand. Chill and save for when Nike starts releasing again and prices normalise in 6-12 months.
Two faces still wack. Let the resellers go for them.
Whilst I really hate the price increases, the problem is that is the market. Before Kobe was alive the market would pay X. Now that hes gone people are willing to pay 3X. You gotta blame the buyers as well. Vote with your wallets.
Y’all are crazy if you think Nike will stop releasing Kobe’s, especially Protros. If anything they’ll make more rather than less due to increased demand. Nike won’t leave money on the table look at how they dealt with the China thing.
