Can we be honest though? The Nike basketball lineup is absolute garbage this year. The Kobe signature line is one of the greatest of all time, second to only Jordan. Nike can make the Kobes in greater supply, and they would still sell out. Releasing them in Off-White numbers is ridiculous.i hear you. but they are not about to saturate the market with Kobe's! They have to preserve the legacy
What other athlete's shoes are selling out right now?
Lebrons - on shelf
Kyries - on shelf
KDs - on shelf
Paul George - trash
Harden - trash
Dame - trash
Giannis - trash
Westbrook - trash
Chris Paul - trash
Ima be running errands out later. May swing by one to peepno online release only way to find out if store got them is to go there. nothing to lose at this point.
Part of my big issue with Nike is their lack of transparency.It's just crazy how selection is done or not done. Another kobe guy I know got em and he told me his wife also got em(for him)
Why do you feel like popularity decreased? I don't think that's accurate imo.but remember when Jordan Brand started producing more shoes. Popularity decreased
joints became limited again during the pandemic, now everyone wants Js
the smart folks at Nike know what they're doing.
Retros were sittingWhy do you feel like popularity decreased? I don't think that's accurate imo.
And to you, just because a retro sits for a few hours longer, or maybe even a day or two here and there, equals popularity decreasing?Retros were sitting![]()
I mean retros were def hitting outlets in large masses some colors and models more than others. Then on nike outlet f&f promotion resellers would be there before they open to buy..... I've seen like 30, 40+ pairs of kicksAnd to you, just because a retro sits for a few hours longer, or maybe even a day or two here and there, equals popularity decreasing?
Popularity with retro Jordan's are never part of the equation imo. Some Sneakerheads always think popularity is waning when a classic is somewhat easy to cop. All it means is that nike came closer to meeting demand. That's it.Popularity is very small % of problem. Nike is the largest % and covid causing people to try and make money wherever they can as the other %. It mostly goes away if Nike increases production.
Ok, so Nike's answer to the "issue" is to make sneakers like these Kobe's, the OG air max 95s and the OG griffey in such few numbers that it makes no sense?I mean retros were def hitting outlets in large masses some colors and models more than others.

I dont have an answer to that.... I'm just agreeing JO retros were def not as popular. That could be due to folks tastes in designs they released and also the amount and how often they release Jo's. Kobes would never get that much releases as we saw with the introduction of the protro line.Ok, so Nike's answer to the "issue" is to make sneakers like these Kobe's, the OG air max 95s and the OG griffey in such few numbers that it makes no sense?
I want to blame Nike but with not knowing what went on behind closed doors with Vanessa and their lawyers is unfair. This is the first time Nike have to deal with a signature player's death and report of Kobe unhappy with Nike makes you wonder if they were only able to sell a percentage of the remaining shoes under contract then they start the Mamba Brand where they can start making more. Keeping the legacy alive and both sides are happy.
If Nike just being greedy and looking out for their own pockets and keeping them at the top with the hype they are creating then screw them.

LolHit on SNKRS. Didn't even realize I got through DSG since I was also trying to enter the draw for the dunks as well. By the time I realized, I clicked my size and hit checkout on DSG. Got to another queue and never got outta that. Man, wonder if I could've managed on DSG had I been paying attention. I'm just glad SNKRS was nice to me considering how much I've been dropping on resell for the 5's
