Out of all the protros this year, I needed this one the most.

Want them to hoop so don’t mind apaying extra for “newer tech” i really like the turbo zoom in these for hooping
Definitely hoping on sooner rather than later
most i’ll pay is 280. my brother is ordering them so i don’t get taxed
Anyone done a proper comparison yet? Curious to see about this toe box and shape.. thought these would be a 1:1I get there is newer tech but the og’s are more comfortable and not as narrow in the toe box and of course Kobe wore the og so I prefer them, also a better shape. I did get the protros though and the price just dropped below $300.
touching story and all but... you really won the chaos for retail and canceled the order?I almost feel like I’m darn near depressed. I’m 39 and haven’t played basketball since March 20th. I think my bad bout with the flu in February was actually Covid. I didn’t think much of it because Kobe just died and I was hurt like I lost an older brother! I won the Chaos on SNKRS and cancelled my order back in January because Kobe V’s are great shoes, but not the most durable to ball in. So I was gonna take my chances finding them cheaper. I ball in my shoes, but I can’t pay $300 for a shoe to ball in that’s not even durable. I have disgust in my heart for resellers though. I’ve been balling in Kobe’s religiously since Christmas of 2005. To not be able to purchase one pair at freaking retail in my last months or couple of years playing competitive league ball hurts like a mutha!!! How did we allow this to happen in the sneaker community?!! But we have to find a way to hurt Nike because they’re the main culprits in this show!!! Sorry for the rant, but those of us who love basketball and especially those of us who know our clock is about to strike 12 because of our age are stressed!
Lol damn. I would've kept the chaos. I ended up cancelling a Kobe 4 Del Sol and kinda regret that. Had carpe diem and figured I didnt need the del sols at 180 retail. Nobody knew what was gonna happen otherwise I'm sure everyone would've copped kobes even at retail before he passed. Definitely better than paying the 100 dollar markup minimum on anything Kobe now.touching story and all but... you really won the chaos for retail and canceled the order?
Can definitely see the 5 rings being up there later.I was away for a wedding and ended up missing the chaos drop completely. Figured it would’ve been easy to come back home and snag because the protro 4’s wasn’t hard to get. Thought I’d at least catch a restock or maybe returned pairs. But nope.
moving on, I wanted parades/big stage more than the 5x Champ. During Mamba Week, I struck out on everything but saw the rumor for the 5 Rings protro and I was most excited about that cw than any from Mamba Week. Told myself I would get the 5 Rings no matter what, resale if need be. Come drop day, i asked all my friends and family to help me on SNKRS, I struck out everywhere. One of my friend secured one and then I find out that my brother in law also hit. Both will be kept for personals and at least one will definitely hit the courts sooner or later.
All retail?!5 rings arrived to join the protro family lol
Chaos and 5 rings are retailAll retail?!
Same. I went to see the Lakers Friday night and picked up a pair Saturday afternoon.Chaos’ sold out on SNKRS fast
In person was a different picked my pair up 2 days later from Nike the grove
That’s the OGSo all pairs arriving in hands now.. why is size 13 $800 on SX
Haha yes. Thank you. The pics are different now tooThat’s the OG
Have they improved the toe box on the 5 rings in comparison to the other Protro releases? On the photos it looks that way.
