That's a very tough choice.
I personally think some of the TB's are just as clean if not Cleaner than those 2. but If i had to choose between them.. probably DK's im a sucker for any blue in shoes.

it will still be a VERY successful and sought after colorway just by looks alone. Even without the name and the claw marks. Black and yellow cw for Kobe?
But the current asking price will be totally different. I'd say a 180-200$ price will be the norm without the name and scratch.

Yea it would, i mean but "named" (well they're all named these days) CWs seem to get on everyone's Top 3-5-10 list these days.
It is a nice cw regardless. of the marks.
but i look at light bulbs 6s sulfur 8s people don't put those on their top 4 of all time, but i bet 4 red scratch marks and call them the BL 6 and 8s and yea people would go more bananas over them

Resell prices alone will keep people very much interested in these.

The truth is they wouldn't hold as much value. They're a really great cw, but personally I like the Chaos 100x better than the BL or DK.

BLs are my personal favorite V and one of my absolute favorite Kobes, so you won't catch me saying they're overrated lol. I will definitely admit that hype/resell on them certainly wouldn't be as high without the BL name or Enter the Dragon claw details attached, but I think you can say that about literally any "name" or themed shoe. It's just part of the appeal and total package to have those details in there. Like the Wu Tang Dunk Hi's from '99 probably wouldn't have nearly as much prestige/value without the limited factor or the Wu Tang symbol on the heel. Would probably just be another black/yellow dunk to most people.
It just kinda is what it is, and there are plenty of examples of kicks having extra hype cuz of little details or names attached. I'd say most of the highly desired shoes period, not just Kobes, have some kind of nickname attached, especially these days. You could maybe blame it on SB Dunks or AF1s for really originating all the nicknames and themed colorways before it got into bball shoes.
I'm usually a sucker for yellow/black or black/gold shoes in general, but I think the little hints of red on the BLs, not just on the claw marks but also the heel/sole, really help make the colorway for me.

Had to take a little break. I'll definitely stay out of the prelude thread .SMH. DKs are probably my favorite V. Chaos is a very close 2nd in my book.

BLs are crazy in person, they're def not overrated. Overpriced? That's a different story.
That yellow on the upper changes color a bit and the textures are done right.
Chaos >/ BL
they're both fire.
