Nike Zoom Kobe V PROTRO - Dec 2019

[jayocampo]

Nah believe it or not , this is strictly from doing work on the hardwood. I have other hoop shoes that get the exact same wear on the ankle.

Your ankles be folding over the sides to make it wear down like that??

I can’t even give you a reason why haha . I’m not a big dude either. 5’9 165lbs , I run and cut alot.

Only thing I can think of is that I am flat footed and somehow that is contributing to this .

My other Kobe’s trending right behind em

Probably not just ankles causing it, I’m sure other people’s shoes scuff the sides too

It's the medial part of his shoes tho

True I just mean there’s a lot of other things that can be scuffing them if he’s hooping a bunch. For whatever reason V’s we’re notorious for having tears around the ankles. I’d see so many pairs I was about to cop and then they’d have those tears. Everything else would be clean too

Legitimately confused how he got that much wear on the medial ankle part just from hoopin

There has to be consistent rubbing not just random feet stepping on his foot in traffic a couple of times

That happens to all my low top hoop shoes. I think it’s the part where my sock covers my ankle bone that keeps rubbing the lining

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that wears "expensive" (resale ≠ value) shoes rather than putting them in a display case.

Gonna break out the grinch if my team makes the finals. My (rare I think, haven't checked stockx in a while) 11.5 size will would give me stupid profit but idgaf

Always wear your shoes…

That definitely happens to my hoop shoes too.
Some of my theories were:
The ankle liners consistently rubbing together when you hold the shoes together walking into the gym
Or, them occasionally rubbing together and not noticing when you're in the air after taking a jumper.

But it happens on the outer edge of the medial liner. If it happens on the inner edge of the medial liner, then that sock theory would make sense. It seems like it has to be from contact from the other shoe.

Barbosa still playing?

Big 3 I believe

hoops kept him young

Lol saw homie posted eating empanadas around the way last week. Straight chillin

Now that I think about it, those tears on the outer medial liner is most likely from the rubbing that happens while you're driving to the bucket. Your feet tend to cross each other when making those steps.

It’s most likely this. I get it too sometimes (not this bad) one time i remember i split the double and one of the defenders clipped my leg, as I stumbled through my feet rubbed together. Most of the time i don’t even notice though.

It could also happen in the paint or on post up moves, you drop step around a defender foot.

I guess I don’t see what is so hard to believe about hooping in shoes a bunch and then getting broken down where said model is notorious for getting rips
