Seeing the way they handled the protro line, they are 100 percent trolling

Do it.
8s have held up over time extremely well. Still play in my BHMs.

Yup, all my 8s are still top notch.
Only thing I noticed was some "glitter" on the lunar drop-in midsole on the DS pairs.

Love everything about the 8ās except how they felt on court for me 
The Purple Fades are one of my all time favorite cwās of any model. Broke them out for a beautiful weekend here in FL.

I never even played in them but I donāt even like them much for casual walking. My Pythons bottomed out so quick, and I only wore them sparingly. When I put them on now, theyāre one of the worst-cushioned shoes I own. Iāve never been able to understand how so many people rave about VIIIs on the court. Maybe brand new, but after a few weeks? No thanks.

Iām gonna have to agree on the 8s. They feel so close to the ground already and the cushioning is very thin. I play outdoors and feel the impact every time I land. I love the 8s but it pains me every time I play, literally.
6s were the best in terms of feel for me. Soft cushioning and extremely lite.
3s are very underrated, the outsole is very durable especially for outdoors.

I liked the 8 looks wise, but I feel like they went gimmicky for a money grab with the drop in midsoles with the 7-9 and the bottoming out was something they liked cause it meant people needed to buy new pairs faster. They even sold just the insoles for a while. Sucks they canāt do much with the protro unless they just give us zoom this time which Iād prefer.

So the 11-12th man on nba roster that only plays 3 mins a season has access to unlimited/unreleased colors of the Kobe 6s but we canāt get one General Release?
- 41,551
- 62,938
Uhh yeah.. theyāre NBA players
Plus the 11th/12th man on a professional team is still one of the best players in the world

The original point of that is to increase hype and get more people on board to buying a pair, but the irony is that theyāre so limited that hardly anyone can buy a pair.

Understood but in the past Kobe would be the only player with PEs then when the Team Bank (TB) released players like Ginobli and other NBA players would get access to those color ways. Now there isnāt any TB releases or even GRs and NBA players are wearing the PEs. Thatās like if everyone was wearing Lebron 18 PEs and we couldnāt get a GRUhh yeah.. theyāre NBA players

Managed to hit on SNKRS. Finally a Kobe for retail lol

Yea I canāt get GR I donāt need to see PEs Iāll never have either.

Seriously, those bums donāt even deserve Kobeās but have unlimited access to them.
And before anyone comes and says āBut theyāre in the NBAā, I donāt think Nike cares much about Josh Pinkelstein wearing Kobeās when heās the 14th man.
