[D_eezus]

nah PJ has a ton made for him too. Off the top of my head:

- 4 VI PEs for his "journey pack" (Texas2Toronto, Puerto Rico, Ukraine, Israel)
- Yeezy Cheetah VI
- Solar Red VI
- Red October VI
- "Prada Shirt" VI (jesus that's 8 PEs alone for the 6s lmao)
- Blue zebra V
- White/pink/yellow V with the 5x champ theme
- PJ Tucker V PE which released
- Red IV with gum sole
- Black/red IV with snakeskin
- Volt Wizenard IV
- White/concord (can't tell if blue or purple or in between) IV

Alot of these can be seen on his buddy Rich Townsend's IG page also.

It does seem like Derozan wears a wider variety though like he will even wear the Kobe 1s and 10s and 7s, preludes etc, while PJ primarily wears the 4-6.

It’s still not the same, Demar has been getting Kobe exclusives and Kobe’s made for him for years.

Day 1 cop.... if you're lucky
I've only been able to cop 1 pair of Kobes since his passing - glad it was the Grinches of all pairs though.

Yeah but it's still roughly around the same amount as PJ. Unless we're counting stuff like the blue Kobe ADs or other white/red/black Raptors PE ADs during that 2016-2018 period. I'll give Demar those red 1 PEs though but otherwise he wears a ton of GRs too. I don't recall stuff before that period other than some GR and some NikeIDs which I wouldn't categorize as exclusives.

I don't recall (and I don't see anything on Getty) anything before that period other than some GR and some NikeIDs which I wouldn't categorize as exclusives.

Demar was handpicked by Kobe, I’d figure he’d have more Kobe’s than PJ. Especially PE’s that weren’t released.

I could be wrong though.

DeMar was getting Kobe’s personally from Kobe when he was in HS. PJ may have a better collection but you can’t really compare the two IMO

True i think Derozan actually has a way bigger collection just because he rocks stuff like preludes, EXTs, all sorts of other stuff. While PJ is more focused on the low tops like 4-6. But for PEs I think PJ has alot too, maybe a bit less than Demar but maybe a bit more. All thanks to the ton of recent 5 and 6 protros he designed for himself these past 2 years lol

 

[Declan]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG, the pair on the second slide though!!!!!

Does anyone else find the haha I have these and you don't attitude a bit obnoxious and juvenile? Like c'mon dude you're 32.

 

[206to813]

 

[nickatnite]

they got any more? like a size 12?

 

[urn0tlike]

I would of loved to owned those but they were probably a couple Ks before he died, I don’t even wanna know what you’d have to pay to have them now.

I peaked at the comments and saw some folks said $5K

Has anybody seen fake Kobe 5 Hall of Fames?

Check the Protro V thread. I know they posted pics of fakes when they first dropped.

 

[laced navajo]

posted In the V thread also but I need a legit check guys

 

[bigstick2324]

Based on the pics they look fine, do they come with the purple laces?

 

[bbevol]

Looks good to me. The reps have the OG traction pattern usually.

 

[laced navajo]

Thanks fellas! Yes it does come with the purple laces

 

[Kobekobe]

I really hope that before the NBA season starts (or shortly thereafter) Vanessa and Nike come to an agreement on this line.

I'm still really bummed out about it, as I'm sure most of you are too.
