This is great news cant wait to cop some kobes

 

[lynchpin33]

not alledged..

Nike is saying that's the first release

I hope it’s not the same music / same dance with releases and during the negotiation period they upped the quantity on this pair and going forward. Also had it been mentioned, is there a price increase on retail?

 

[hydeous]

I imagine these will be more readily accessible to fans… this was one of Vanessa’s main concerns.

She just want to get more sales = profit man. Cmon now

 

[the red model]

There will probably be a price increase and sell out in minutes lol.

 

[utahman130]

First drop allegedly is the Mambacita

Trying to find more info if this is true though

Must have.

I was Wavering back-and-forth for the past few months whether or not to unfollow this thread because I was honestly tired of seeing PEs etc that we, the general public would never get.

Let’s hope that we get protro GRs in GR quantities. And if they are sold as protros, they are indeed protro’d (new tooling).

Im also curious where nike is going with them pulling out of footlocker. They were never really in FNL/JD. And footaction closing down. Pretty much they’ve cut out the “middle man”. So will NDC be the only place to sell Kobe’s? Are we going to see a lot more of those IG photos of guys with 20-40 pairs of shoes for sale? The next few years are gonna be a wild time (good or bad ) to be in the “shoe game”.

They need to bring back the OC Sunsets. I need to put my OGs away

These where supposed to be a fall drop 21 if I remember correctly. Maybe they just sitting waiting to drop. I need a new pair mine are beat.

 

[truenike81]

I know it’s a stretch, but if these go to ID or Nike by you, that they give us an option to choose full length zoom. Like an NBA players pair of 4’s posted deep in the Kobe 4 retro thread.

5 pairs minimum

 

[urn0tlike]

Just make them in abundance. You make them super limited again you do nothing good for anyone but resellers.

 

[grittyman]

From what I remember the Protro 6 releases were Dark Knight, OC, 3D, black Del Sol, and Kay Yow.

Am I missing anything?

https://news.nike.com/news/nike-kobe-bryant-kobe-6-mambacita

I do see that info on Nike's official site, you are correct sir

 

[nikekid6]

let's goooooo hopefully prices drop online now too

made me think... if this contract renewal never came about.... these 6s woulda just sat and never saw the light of day.

imagine all the shoes and colors we have never seen ever just sitting a warehouse collecting dust

 

[tigo0240]

Kobes are back, who cares about the details.


I want some 2s, 3s, all the canceled 6s, some 7s, zoom 8s, let's gooooo

 

[Beeb2407]

please please please... Del Sol 4 retros and td sizing

4s run surpassed bro. So not ANYTIME soon

 

[Blue Mamba]

It sucks that Nike never released the Mamba Forever VI’s

I spoke too soon

 

[Blue Mamba]

If they put all their Kobe models on ID, the money would just flow in. I feel like it’s a no brainer

 

[tuxedo1208]

Welcome back!

 

[ultimatecam]

Well Atleast my Kay yow was rare for about a year! Oh well bring me more Kobe’s!

 

[ultimatecam]

I would like 7 protro first before 8 honestly.

 

[Beeb2407]

Well Atleast my Kay yow was rare for about a year! Oh well bring me more Kobe’s!

Lmao bro. Heck you had to do what you had to do and was able to do given the circumstances

 

[andoneflip]

I spoke too soon

So these drop may 1st?

 

[vnolab]

So these drop may 1st?

Definitely could see them doing that, its a perfect date time frame wise

And I think the shoes are already all produced(?) unless the plan is to produce more pairs. Not sure how long that process takes

 

[dragicon]

I imagine these will be more readily accessible to fans… this was one of Vanessa’s main concerns.

One of her “concerns”

 

[marcxy]

Hopefully they don't skip 7s. Need those Invisibility Cloaks.
