Reason i like AD, traction is great on 24hr dusty floor,support feels more secure,materals used seem better.

Hey me too! Except material look cheap I'm but feel good after break in. Cushing def firmer than previous Kobe's but it is still pretty good. Curious why the bad traction reviews bc these have been great so far ! HoopReason i like AD, traction is great on 24hr dusty floor,support feels more secure,materals used seem better.
I guess Nike isn't releasing these to the public? these are so clean, I want a pair

It seems split . Hoop life and a few others liked them while wt guys didn't .I've read performance reviews on these and they're not doing too well.
Footaction played me.
A couple weeks ago i found that they were the only spot with an 11.5 in stock. Told moms i wanted them for christmas. She copped. Footaction accidentally sent us a size 9 air max. We called them and they got it straightened out and said the 11.5 AD is on its way. AD arrives a few days later. Since its a gift i couldnt get my hands on it. Mom just opened box to make sure both shoes were in there. No inspection though. Fast forward to christmas eve. She texts me and asks me where the nearest footaction is... Said while she was wrapping gifts she notices something wrong with the kobes.
I get to her house yesterday and see them for myself.
Bruh.
Footaction should be ashamed of themselves. This is unacceptable.
This is what i got.
Dead ***.
so many creases
that piece was literally laying in the box.
Have you just tried them on for yourself?

Sorry to hear that, man. Hopefully they'll straighten in out AND compensate you.Footaction played me.

I'd be very surpised to see a return to numbered Kobes... Though they did go back to numbered Jordans so who knows?not sure if this has been mentioned before or not. but if this model is called the AD (after death), would it be safe to say that the Kobe 12 would begin the "resurrection"? as in resurrection of previous models. therefore the kobe 12 would basically by a retooled Kobe 1 and so on. I think it would make sense to do it that way instead of them retroing his older line because I don't think there is too much of a demand for kobe retros.

this is crazy, the reviews are all over the place. Guess im gonna have to just try out a pair. Starting to wonder if easy returns are actually hurting companies since a lot of people end up returning shoes before they get fully broken in (Hardens as well). They're gonna have to start making more bball shoes with less break in time. Makes me respect D Lillard even a little more.so...because of the fact I'm sending them back anyways for a new pair...I figured why not test drive these. Hooped in them yesterday for a few hours. Loved them. That broken rubber sole wasn't even noticeable, thank goodness. I love the shoe. I did change the insole though, dont need the logo rubbing off before i send them back lol. Put in a kobe X insole that I had lying around. Perfect sole for these imo. In fact this shoe is about as comfortable as the Kobe X all star, which is in my top 5 favorite hoop shoes in terms of comfort and performance. Not sure if it was because the shoe was broken in already lol or what, but it was really like a driving your whip after that initial 1500 miles. Joints just were ready to go from tip off. Probably gonna hoop in them again today and then send them back tomorrow lol
Easy pass on the black/whites for me. I just don't like the color blocking they went with. But I do love the A.D. I hope they play around more with the combinations. I love the iridescent heel cup. Soooo fire. Feels like an All Star colorway imo. Hella fire for a first release.
