Kobe Retro Pack

[rell lauren]

Ain't nothing wack about 17s. Model was dope & glad it's finally seeing a retro.
I could of sworn when they first started HOHs, it was to release PE's & HOHs exclusive colorways. I remember the Steph Curry Hyperfuse PE's or the Jeremy Lin Hyperdunks, or these Rice Hyperdunks etc...








Now you can't tell the difference between HOHs or a regular Footlocker.

They watered down the concept of House of Hoops. They should have kept it to three or four stores in the U.S. max.

 

[VegetableLasagna]

Yup, I remember when HoH exclusive used to actually mean something...

 

[tupac003]

I remember when HOH opened in LA...3 days of exclusives.

 

[blacklion23]

Really dope colorways but I'd never buy or wear them. Die hard Celtics fan here.

you should completely hate purple and gold

Why Toronto only? Is Kobe saying sorry for scoring 81 points on their team?

If anything LA only would make more sense.

 

[torontostar]

So much for releasing over ASW?

 

[veks]

If anything LA only would make more sense.

If anything both. ASW is in Toronto and he plays in LA.

 

[doscinco]

All-Star weekend and no news on this? This ain't happenin, sadly. 

 

[VegetableLasagna]

If this happens around the time his last games happens ala Derek Jeter...that would be perfect

Read this on an ESPN article:

"Need another example? Kobe Bryant isn't a Jordan Brand athlete, but Nike took advantage of the brief time when he was vacillating between shoe companies by releasing to the public -- in the middle of Kobe's retirement tour -- a "Kobe pack" of two of the Jordan sneakers Bryant wore in games when he was hoping to be signed by the brand."

Can't tell if the author knows something we don't or if he just doesn't know what he's talking about...I mean he does note the "Jordan XII Bordeaux's"

I was just about to post that same thing.

I'm wondering if his info is just based upon the same rumors & speculation that the rest of us have been hearing.

 

[VegetableLasagna]

Hopefully he knows something/someone

 

[blco02]

Scoop Jackson is either a total idiot, misread the sneaker blogs, or has info and had a Freudian slip in that article.

 

[ryanstl]

i bet they release at the end of the year, if at all.

looking at the paint and leather, this is a picture of Kobe's PE, not a newly produced pair

Shoes are at the Jordan Brand party tonight

Note that these are a gift to Kobe. All of the all white and black shoes 1-30 and the Lakers PE's are Jordan's gift to Kobe tonight. I guess they are auctioning off a set as well. 

 

[since85]

[Mr Dink]
