I know it’ll get me a lot of heat inbuying kobes now has become a joke. have not gotten a single pair yet. About done.
I hear you,i flirted with some Lebrons but didn’t pull the trigger .with how these releases have gone the past couple months, i'm throwing in the towel on getting any kobes. Done wasting my time with even trying. Just another **** show of a release.
Picked them up an hr ago
Told myself the last retro id ever get amped about was the Cement IEs. Craziest **** to date ive ever seen, app opened top of the hour *flash* soldout.
I just laughed like yooo no ****in way, im sayin no log out glitch no select size enter back 3 nope none of that lol right to Soldout.
Once that happens on IEs i knew what time it was until and if ever government regulations are set in place for reselling. Good news is were not the only community being robbed by it for whatever thats worth.
They may have dug themselves their own grave because now its spilling over into other communities such as electronics and gaming. Id like to imagine somewhere along the line theyll piss off the wrong person with enough pull and something will atleast get started.Sneakerheads need to hire a lobbying firm to get this done.
Not sure what's worse. Shiekh, SNS or HibbettAnyone hit at Shiekh?

Welcome to 2020.I've entered EVERY single raffle that I can on the Kobe's. Tried on every website that I could. I didn't hit on any of them.

people said this about jordans, and yeezys, and every other desirable, somewhat difficult shoe over the past 5-10 yearsIf Nike is going to continue to clown around regarding releases with the Kobe line (like they seem to be), customers who make responsible and educated purchases will buy replicas because it will make sense.
I personally compared my Chaos pair (mall/store purchased release morning in Jan) with someones 'replica' pair. I could not tell the difference. Even the tread patterns on the protro outsole were identical to the rep pair.
Some replicas are now on a level where the only way to tell the difference would be to cut the sneakers open and compare components.
Educated, responsible consumers make it a point to KNOW what they are buying. With replicas, the consumer KNOWS what they are getting.
As someone who at one time owned well over a hundred pairs of Kobes, and has been collecting sneakers for decades...I have ZERO faith in resellers, 3rd party marketplaces that authenticate, etc. The fakes are now at too high a level. Unless a pair were purchased directly from the manufacturer, I would no longer have any faith in the product being authentic. I would never pay $250+ for a pair unless I have zero doubt regarding authenticity.
Soon...the only way makers like Nike will be able to combat fakes will be internal ID chips or some kinda cryptographic tag kinda deal.
Bottom line...if Nike doesn't want to make enough pairs to meet demand, it's likely other parties will satisfy the demand... and consumers should know what they are buying, which is becoming extremely hard.
NOTE: My level of 'balling' now consists of games of horse. If I was still seriously playing, I'm pretty sure I would feel the difference.
You a 12Of course my pair of 5 rings comes with a defect smh. Looks like a scuff in the back of the midsole.
