Agree completely! The Chaos V has to be in the bottom 3 CW's of the ZKV (Chinas, Miles Davis, Chaos).

Well nobody comes close to MJ when it comes to shoes/marketability so that goes out the window when comparing anyone. Nobody has 20+ successful models of shoes let alone retros so that was a pretty bad comparison.
Kobe V and IV GR's sold pretty well for that matter.
And as far as Hypebeasts, that can be said about most people who buy Jordans, Lebrons, Pennys, Kobes.

Who cares about shoes at that point.
Nike talk only holds under 70k users, and only 10k of them actually post something. The World holds billions of "users". Kobe shattered Jordan's and Favres pro sports jersey sales....
He even outsold Yao in his own Country
NY... Biggest city in the U.S. Has Kobe, numbered 1 in jersey sales. Who cares about his shoes. Ppl want to rep the actual Rapist...
So his shoes have been doing well... I do not see that declining.
'specially when LA is the 2nd biggest city and they support Kobe.
So all I can advise Nike to do is to send over the pairs that North and South Dakota can't move, here to Cali. We'll eat em up.
BULL!
Then after reading this whole post, I am convinced that there is something seriously wrong with you, and the people who think like you.
BTW, MJ's scoring averages and shooting percentage didn't go down in the playoffs, like that of your idol, and he never lost a championship series.
Losing a championship series is not necessarily a bad thing, it could also mean he took a subpar team to the Finals, who should not have made it that far to begin with.

^ Hope your not fishing for a stupid nickname by posting irrelevant pics.......
If they are indeed the Christmas release what does the Joker, Green Hornet or green boa have to do with the shoe?
Grinch is kinda ok tho

His shoes were still ugly though, even the ones for Adidas.
I will admit to the last joints being hot....cheaply made, but hot.
From what I understand, he finally listened to the designers.
It's about time that he listened to someone who knows more than he does.
But the Slimes are horrible, and I wonder whose idea that was....
Kobe wasn't marketable before Colorado?? Realllyyy?! Do you know how many endorsements he had b4 that? He was the most marketable basketball player at the time.
Jordan didn't retire until 2003, and at that time he was still the top endorser in all of sports. Kobe was accused in 2003.
This is what cracks me up about these Kobe fans. The truth is just a click away, yet they continue to talk out of their butts.

That was funny! But what's even funnier is how you guys are still trying to find a suitable nickname, for that slimey looking shoe!
Sour Apple
Anytime you have to explain the reason why a shoe looks like it does, it has already failed at doing what it is supposed to do!

It's a fact that limited releases help push GR... what signature model did Nike start releasing multiple pairs of Kobe limited shoes?

So I guess JB's One Billion dollar earnings in 09 came from just US sales...and all 1 billion people in Asia buy Kobe shoes/gear.
Limited shoes only help GR sales if people find them appealing. There's plenty of limited Nike retros that release that sit at HOH. So if people find the shoe appealing, of course limited releases are going to help push a shoe, why wouldnt they? You say that like it's a horrible thing or something.
Kobe is like a GOD in Asia. He's not going to sell more than Jordan Brand/Nike Jordan, which has been around since 1985, but nobody else is touching his star status there. Which is the reason they see models and buy models, that we don't get over here in the United States. There's no current NBA player more marketable than Kobe in Asia.
Anyways, I see no point even mentioning Jordan Brand anymore. Horrible materials and quality they pass off as authentic, they use their past reputation and success to rip people off into paying $175 dollars for A-Grade variants we saw 8 years ago.
Jordan Brand today can be compared to owning a Jaguar when it was a british luxury car, and then owning a Jaguar when Ford bought them. Looks the same, but the quality is terrible.
Uhhh, Jordan Brand is Nike. So when you say this, you are actually saying that the quality of Nike shoes is terrible, which is one hundred percent true.
If Nike would use leather and charge 130 dollars for a pair of shoes, this would not be a problem,
But since they do charge 130 bucks for this crap, then you cannot suggest that only Jordan Brand has issues.

Yes, can we? Stop replying to him.
If in fact these are the Grinches and he wears them on Christmas, that sets up nicely. I like the connection.
