I'm a wide footer but I had to size up due to the thicker react insole. Felt the same with the protro 8s, 6s, and 5s. I have the reverse grinches in my usual size and felt fine however gigi 6s were really tight. Reg and narrow footers may be fine with their usual size I would believe.

Need to see official images of the Kobe IX EM Low Black/Gold dropping in December. Not sure if I should sell these Lakers Away 8s or go for those. Only need one Black/Gold Kobe in my rotation.

^ Man my left shoe tongue curved in like that! I tried them on and the tongue would always slip to the side like that. Something to do with the elastic holding it down or something. Had to return it back to Nike.

Wore the halos yesterday. After wearing my Beethoven’s last week, these new protros feel much looser/more space than the OGs. Probably the lighter knit, but I also feel the shape was different from the OGs when looking down at them on foot.

 

[ap24]

I was wondering about this exact combo. Anyone here try it yet?

I see much hasn't changed in the way of foolishness with upgrading comfort in these shoes since they first released. The first time around it was the LeBron 11 as the shoe to buy and upgrade the comfort of another shoe. Now it's buying the Zion 3's to put the removable insert in to improve the comfort of the react that will bottom out. When they could actually, just put a zoom insert in these from the jump.

I forget that these are a protro, but I completely felt like one of the old heads that nitpick every minor change in a shoe. I love the shoe but it’s got a few minor differences from the OG. Heel sits/shaped higher. Toebox is higher also but that may just be the newness of the flyknit.

Let us know if you do.

I honestly wonder if Nike is holding back on the technology now so it can do a “Protro 2.0” or “Protro Elite” or something like that later.

Why else leave out Zoom in some implementation? Why not offer different drop in setups for different play types?

Planned obsolescence keeps the wheels rolling. The shells last damn near forever, even the knit ones long as you don’t rip a hole in them. Selling the outsoles separately would slump the shoes sales once people caught on.

Tried it. Some heel slippage. Not sure because if that was just cause these aren’t truly made for them. There was no actual slippage or movement with the zoom índole within the shoe. I felt my Achilles / ankles were sore because how much they would sit/ fall into the zoom sole on how soft they were. Ima give them another run and also with the react sole

Appreciate it bro. Nike got us all by the throat till they decide to do an “Elite protro” drop in specifically for the 8 and 9
