Flood the market. Take away resellers who are making a buck off this tragedy. Donate some or all of the proceeds to the families and to the Mamba fund. I can dream, I know.
Went around different newsstands/stores to pick these up this weekend, then found my local grocery store had put out most of them this morning. Hope everyone is able to grab what they want.
Just went in Flightclub and it’s disgusting what those people are doing. I get they’re a consignment shop, but that’s just downright filthy.
Resellers are scum, but let's face it - they wouldn't exist without the lames who pay over retail. And after Kobe died, I see a whole bunch of lames in here based on some of these questions being asked.
If you weren't shooting in the gym wearing Kobes before he passed, you can get the **** outta here.

My brain still refuses to process it. I’m like “can’t wait to see Gigi tear up the WNBA using moves Kobe taught her”just seeing this **** trips me out, man. Kobe wasn’t supposed to go out like that. **** really bothers me.
fake fans are the worst. You can mourn the passing of Kobe without being fake.
I'm no johnny-come-lately when it comes to Kobe, but I can't be mad at people who want memorabilia for one of the greatest basketball players ever. None of us expected it to end like this. We expected to watch Kobe get older and join the ranks of hoops history vets, analyzing the evolving game, continue to innovate footwear, and even re-releasing his old footwear for those who never got the chance.
I never ended up picking up any Protro 4s...first because I didn't like the material choices, then because of colorways. Then FTB released and I was like bet, I'll just wait out the price a little as I'd done a million times before. Now it's gone and I wish I'd picked up the Carpes, Del Sols, not to mention the missed XI colorways I waited on, the black Protro 1s...the various models I never even got a chance to try out.
I do resent resellers/scalpers as much as any of you. Unfortunately this is just how capitalism works. Demand goes up, so does price. It's disgustingly inhuman but that's the society we live in. I hope that Nike releases everything Kobe that can possibly be released, in huge huge numbers. Flood the market, calm the public demand, effectively neutering the resale market. I personally don't give a s#$% about the monetary value of my Kobe collection because it's a collection, not an investment with an expectation for ROI.
And IMO, anybody who doesn't own anything Kobe should be able to celebrate the man the same way we believed we'd be able to celebrate him if he were still alive. No hate or disrespect to previous posts, but this shouldn't be an exclusive club. Kobe brought so many people together; including lots who aren't as vocal about it as we are, including many who were too young/broke to buy his gear first time around but have a little money now that the Protros were around.
Sorry for the rant guys. It's all love.
