T shirt only in big kids smh

Woulda been in on a pair of shorts

Yeah too bad that white tee finna turn brown faster than the shoes playing ball in them.

OxiClean White Revive instead of bleach will keep your whites whiter than Taylor Swifts' entire music catalog.

Prelude 5s

 

[MJO23DAN]

The repeating reflective Sheath logos on the midsole look crazy!

 

[joex]

I didn’t get to catch the whole thing. But here are some SS that I took. Sorry if some of them are repetitive.

 

[urn0tlike]

Seeing those Asia 3s . I know most dislike the 3s but those are so dope and the 3 is a beast performer.

 

[dmoney23444]

Let’s go!

 

[pmatic]

That's funny because Kobe tried his hardest to get away from Calipari and the Nets in 96.

 

[aron710]

I would have thought Duke or USC but ok queen mamba.

 

[206to813]

I’d have expected Duke too… prob would’ve been the first choice before the tragedy and if Coach K was there

 

[watermelondeity]

Dip-dye gradient customs on the halos gonna go crazy

This needs to be the last Kobe with the embroidered swoosh on it (on the Mambacita 4 too) the change was unnecessary

Making an all white mesh shoe with big embroidered swoosh (that will fray) on the side for hooping is crazy and less functional

 

[jayocampo]

If they rerelease the masterpiece 9s I'll gladly pay resale...

 

[vettez06]

That’s crazy!

 

[purp 32]

I just want to be able to buy a pair without paying out the *** to a reseller. I guess keeping everything limited is strategic for the brand, but it ******* sucks as a person who's been a sneaker-head since the early 90s.

Even with general release these will still be hard to get, the worldwide demand for Kobe's will just always outweigh supply. They'd have to GR the Mambacurial's (which I would love too) and even then it'd probably be backdooring

The bigger question is what is being done about these bots that are grabbing multiple pairs

 

[utahman130]

Very cool. Will be awesome to see that Kobe logo on college jerseys.

 

[kg21]

The funniest parts to me are the people like "This billion dollar corporation is stupid! They don't know what they're doing! Why aren't they implementing my simplistic idea? They've obviously never thought that deep about shoe sales."



Like I get the frustration, but if you think Nike is missing some obvious change where everybody (including Nike) gets what they want, you're kidding yourself.

I have a few degrees though none in marketing but my guess is Nike absolutely, positively loves keeping a consumer base of loyal customers that stay in a constant state of demand. Anything you're suggesting where you feel like you'll get what you want and be satisfied....they don't want that. They want you in a state where you're constantly checking for the next release. Constantly feeling like you're missing out and need something. Constantly having something out there to go get.

The last paragraph...

 

[5o'clockShadowBoxer]

As unlikely as it is, I wish they’d include Villanova or Connecticut as a Mamba school.
