Nike Basketball (any brand) Rotation/Performance Reviews

[blueprint10]

Haven't been in a competitive/organized game in over a year. Was ready for my comeback in the annual premiere pro-am tournament in the south back in August and shoulder pain sidelined me again. Tried every alternative with no results and finally broke down and underwent rotator cuff repair surgery which also addressed several other issues that progressively got worse over the years. Now 3 days after surgery and I'm salivating at the thought of rehab starting tomorrow. Instead of Lebron XXs or KD 15s being my daily weapon of choice, right now it's my therapeutic ice machine that is getting all of my attention.

Good luck. Hope therapy gives you the time warp to get back into playing shape

Maaaaan… I tore mine four years ago, it complete, but painful. I couldn’t be out for a year at my age so I put it off but I’m dreading the day. Good luck on your rehab and hope you are back on court soon.

Still breaking in these lebrons so I bring some backups with me. The lebrons are the narrowest / tightest of the 3. Cuts are a new pickup, I’m seeing why people like them now.

Dayum where did u get those Cuts? Must’ve cost a pretty penny. There’s been so many player exclusives I lose track of them, can’t 100% say I remember seeing that cw, but maybe I have

I ain’t gon front cause you guys are the homies. These are replica cuts that someone sent me to try out and review.

Yo, question about those reps. Is the full zoom strobel actually zoom in those or air? I have a pair of legit Zoom cuts, buddy has some reps, his strobel was more like air than zoom, had alot of give, mine was snappier. Other tells were the nike check placement and the size of the mesh (OG bigger mesh pattern, reps were tighter). Just wondering about the strobel.

All good

I never go on Reddit but an nt’er suggested checking their Kobe reps forum when I asked about a pair I was considering buying. So I took a look at the Kobe reps forum and someone shared their reps cuts review. They looked amazing, it was a PE type colorway. The user said they played like the real thing and they were hella cheap. I can’t go to the dark side though.

This one has more give. It’s a bit softer and not as snappy. There are different batch / versions of replicas, so this one may not be the best version. Still killed in them though and had people wanting to buy them off my feet. The shoe overall had insane traction and a very soft foam like cushion. It did seem to run a little short in length. I got a little big toe soreness from jamming up against the front of the shoe on hard drives.

 

[jaynev]

wonder if people try to get those through aftermarket websites posing as legit

There's this influencer who got fake eybl 6s from goat. He sold them back to goat and it passed

 

[jaynev]

Yeah, like any other type shoe i guess. But hoop shoes prob have less to go by for authentication than the hype releases that they have more of an eye out for

He should have just taken the L like a man. ESP since he gets free shoes anyway. That’s a scummy move.

Funny thing is people on Reddit tried to warn him they were replicas and he clapped back with some “do you even know who I am” type energy. Foh with that.

Who is this? Have people not told goat that he sold fakes?

Dghoops on ig and YouTube. I find him annoying.

 

[jaynev]

It's a slippery slope. Might cop some rep grinches though just to run errands in lol.

Snkrs app and resellers turned a lot of people into villains.

 

[the red model]

Oh trust me, I understand. I've given up on most major releases. I'll take whatever colorway no one else wants lol. I'm probably done buying Kobes.

I miss the days of buying unpopular colorways on discount smh.

Even “unpopular” Kobe colorways rn are ridiculously expensive, regardless of model, it’s crazy.
