Yea he has a kobe fan page with info on kicks releases and folks pics of them wearing Kobes. Nike most likely reached out to him and told him they want to send him a pair... the same with the kobemural page. So he knew it was coming and knew he was gonna do a video as he was expecting them. And just express the emotion of nike doing right and gifting a pair to at least 1 big kobe fan.CAP?
Never Seen Nike EVER Send A Package With That Labeling On The Front Or Clear Tape Over The Nike Branded Tape. Also, He Just So Happened To Be Rocking A Kobe Hoodie The Day These Randomly Showed Up?
Cool If True But Having A Hard Time Believing This One

This dude has been a Kobe fan for years reviewing his shoes, and one of the OG sneaker YouTubers. I remember his reviews from 2009-2010 when I started getting in to Kobes. I’m glad they sent him a pair.

There you go. It’s stupidity obvious the shoes aren’t getting to the fans. Look at ebay/stockX/goat.
Im 90% sure I’ll be keeping volt laces in mine if I get them like how I did the og. Maybe just maybe change cause it’s a Protro.

if Nike wanted Kobe fans to get these. Open preorders should have happened. I rather pay 180-$200 and wait 1-3 months than this BS a lot of us have to deal with. But idk how this ish work. I hate when companies act like they can’t control their own product. Especially a billion dollar company.Vanessa
we probably still won’t cop but the gesture is always appreciated

It's gonna only benefit LA folks. Probably set up an outdoor pop up shop where you gotta wear Kobe's jersey and shoes in order to buy a pair.

I’d even be ok if they did a charity thing for mamba foundation where you donate $50 and it guarantees you the ability to buy a pair. Non refundable and it’s open for 24 hours. You can still have retailers sell them with no donation for anyone who doesn’t want to pay anything extra but in the times where resale is hot, take the power from them and put it towards something good. I’d rather pay $50 more to a good cause then some sleazy reseller trying to make 3X as much.

Been a fan of these since they released back in 2010, I’ll never forget when bball shoes were reaching peak hype. Sadly I missed out, hit on the Xmas lebron that year but those Kobe’s always eluded me. Couldn’t pay resale due to only having enough for retail. Then years go by and prices sky rocket. Fast forward, find out they might be retroing them, figured I didn’t stand a chance with bots and what not and my normal luck. No footlockers or stores really in the bay getting them, found out shoe palace though at select stores were getting them. Drove out and entered two stores. Still not expecting to win. Usually shoe palace calls around 11am so I figured was **** out of luck. These shoes were literally the shoe I wanted most out of any shoe this year, especially since Kobe passed and they mean that much more. I was losing hope and figured I’d buy resale for the first time because I didn’t want to wake up tomorrow empty handed, was about to put a bid in but had to change my daughter and around 5:30pm I get a phone call, “hello is this ______, you won the local raffle” man I jumped up in excitement and couldn’t believe it, I finally will get my hands on these shoes 10 years later. Bonus is that my fiancé will be buying them for me as my Xmas gift 
Sorry for the long post but just wanted to share, happy holidays NT fam.

Wonder if this means for this colorway only or future pairs. It could be months before Covid/stay at home orders lift. So if it is the grinch colorway, do they hold pairs back or did they produce more than what we’ve been rumored to hear?Vanessa

like someone said already this seems like it will beneficial to LA folks only.

Hey man, thanks for posting this donation raffle. Got off work an hour ago and noticed an email from Kicks Lounge saying I won. I donated $24 (8 entries) for the whole Kobe theme too. So relieved I got a pair
