Their pairs are a lot of times completely different from the released version. Kobe has the OG hyperdunk upper with the Kobe IV outsole before those releasd. There was also a breakdown of a Kyrie shoe where the public release only has phylon or eva as the forefoot cushion setup and his PE pair has zoom in it.Pros wear custom orthotics and get their feet and ankles professionally wrapped before every game so the actual shoe they're wearing wouldn't matter as much as it would to a commoner. There are even some pros (most notably Ja Morant) that have hooped in fakes and they're fine.
