NIKE KOBE VI PROTRO - 2021

[afkguy]

KBVIIIs are my GOAT to play ball in till this day.. My DS Purple Fades are one of my personal grail for that model.. I can’t wait for the protro versions!

 

[msu313green]

Yea I agree definitely high up there to hoop in and night and day from the 7s

 

[D_eezus]

Lewi got enough pairs of the Purple Fades soo if they protro them he’s gotta sit it out

 

[Kim Fatty the Third]

Nah, he’d still Lewi up on those too.

 

[illustrayt]

A protro of the 8s would be greatly appreciated! React to replace Lunar, or better, yet a full length Zoom unit or Zoom Turbo in the FF!

 

[tigo0240]

Added pairs afterward, but got rid of some as well...

old photo, shameless flex:

 

[cradiulf]

If they Protro the Purple Fade or Sulfur 8s, I'm gonna Lewi up on either one. 2 of my all time favorite Kobes, behind the Bruce Lee Vs, Grinches, and 81 Point 1s.

 

[Thierry Henry]

Purple Fades, Sulfers, and Mambacurials are my favorite 8’s.

Too bad all three were stolen from my car, along with the car itself...

Edit: Found an old pic. I think I was up to 10-11 cw’s

We need the whole story on this. That's why i don't keep anything of value in my car. Someone broke into mine and i learned my lesson right away.

 

[skaterplayer808]

Yup, I try not to keep anything of value in my car for just that reason. Too easy to break a window and climb inside to pop the trunk. Man I wish I didn't throw my milkduds away. Zero traction after playing a whole year in em so it was time, but dang. Loved the cw and how light it was. Need the 8 retro asap. Skip the 7, please Nike.

I learned the hard way. Back then, I was running ball everyday. I was one of those guys that always kept a few pairs of hoop shoes in the trunk. Woke up for work one day and noticed that my whip wasn’t in the driveway. I never kept things in plain site. Twelve found it stripped down to the frame a week later.

 

[lewi1913]

Lol what's the story on this?

I think I had something like 6 pairs of purple fades, I went bonkers for that shoe.

Had the Easters, Coral Blues, Milksnakes, and Sulfurs. Wish I took care of ‘em better

8s are my GOATs

 

[headdetective]

Finally.

OG’s were slightly different, but these will certainly do

Mine have been “authenticated” by goat but still haven’t shipped to me. Figure Ill have them by Wednesday most likely, can’t wait. What stands out to you as the big difference to the OGs? From what I see in pics, scales seem puffier compared to the flatter OG scales, and there looks to be less gradient on the upper. Neither one much bothers me.

oh man wow this is when it all started for me. I was into Kobe’s but the 8 is when I really started buying them mfers left right and center. Purple Fade Kobe 8s are my all time favorites and I can’t wait for those to come back! I couldn't believe it when I hit on those for retail.

 

[joeheisenberg]

8s are comfortable. Never really hooped in them personally but I got the year of the horse that I wear casually. The 3, 9, 10, 11 are the ones I’ve hooped in

Jealous of you bro. I can't justify paying 500 for a shoe I'm gonna hoop in. Hopefully they restock

Yea I havent seen in OG Grinches in person but from stock pics and what others have said.... essentially it's a brighter green and the gradient black underlay isnt as pronounced with the protro.

I'm irked cuz sz 11s I'm seeing are in the range I like but not my sz 11.5

Inside job

someone from your hoop runs knew you kept multiple Kobe 8s in the trunk

 

[jordan2233]

Kobe 8's were so easy to cop from stores, most just sat there. Those were the days.

 

[D_eezus]

The Sellers that i offered $300 too are now messaging me to see if i’ll take them.... You missed your boat being greedy.

I got them cheaper

What size? 8?

 

[YouGotThese]

I’m a wide footer sz 13 and these fit perfect compared to the Kobe V.

 

[D_eezus]

What size? 8?

size 7 but all the sellers i talked to were FIRM on 400-500

Hopefully that trend trickles down to 11.5.


On another note copped my 2nd pair of BLs
