NIKE KOBE VI PROTRO - 2021

[little mac]

The old head I am...its noticeable how the shelf-life of culture has shrunk substantially. 5 mins of relevance seems to have become seconds. Not sure sports figures like Ruth, Ali, etc would be the uber-iconic names they are if they had to be cultivated in TiK-ToK, Youtube culture of today.

Jordan, Madden, Yeezy have staying power now as 'brands' because they were transitioned into cultural products that almost eclipse the original accomplishments behind the names.

And the Kobe brand just sits.

Just wanted to add...Kudos to LA for having named today Kobe Bryant Day.

At least vanessa got her a cool $16 mil on Beans birfday. Congrats to her!!

Somebody won today

Finally UNDS’d these today. Been out of the gym for a long minute gotta get my cardio up

 

[SolesNGoals99]

It’s called a donation tax write-off. Then shes going to gift herself, her kids, or the trust, a nice chunk of change and then write it off again under the foundation tax id. Classic rich people tax loopholes

I’m surprised with the fact that they’re still sitting at $1,200 for big footers. Oh wait, no I’m not, it’s Nike.

 

[Beeb2407]

Yea they def gotta have more pairs somewhere. She's still gifting them out

Honestly not the biggest fan of the CW, but I’ll grab right away and just sell/trade for a more preferable 6 if more release.

 

[dmxgod]

They were difficult to get back in the day now they’re gonna be easier to get?

Glad I own a pair

Just really want a new pair of OCs and Del Sols

 

[urn0tlike]

Of all pairs to drop they going with that garbage . Those look like they gs or fakes though.

 

[Blue Mamba]

So those would technically be retros of a retro

 

[tigo0240]

glad my original Prelude 6s are in good shape...love all 6s but the protro tech/fit ain't quite it

 

[D_eezus]

WAIT THOSE ARENT FAKES???

 

[therealest1]

 

[ultimatecam]

Those look like fakes. I’m puzzled by it. Is Nike about to just drop kobe galore all at one time? I’m cool with it. I’m just trying to figure out when these coming if the 8s next. Unless they finish 6s up and 8s come for Christmas.

 

[little mac]

I had those...

LOL...they didn't look like that.

 

[little mac]

If that is a 'production' pair, they should purchase the 'reps' of those and use them as a template.. The reps I've recently seen are much closer the ones released in 2014.

 

[bestintheworld]

It’s nearly impossible to get Kobe’s anyway I would try for preludes, chaos and OC’s but I highly doubt I would even score unless off resale

 

[SayPokeGai]

If true, I'm glad we're getting another Protro 6, but of all the Protro 6s to choose from they chose the Preludes??

 

[tigo0240]

I just assumed those were GS pairs...otherwise, yeah those are fake as hell

 

[mische]

I've reached the point where literally any colorway of the VI's will do for me. I absolutely love this shoe as a performer and to rock casually. Of course I would prefer me some OCs, Dark Knights and Rices (guessing Grinches won't re-release) but Preludes are just fine to get things going...

 

[James_O]

I’ll literally cop any colorway at this point. I know it’s a 1% chance that I get EA this time, let alone actually be able to cop them

 

[Kobekobe]

WAIT THOSE ARENT FAKES???

They are fakes
