Minus the Kobe 1 (MPLS) & the Orcas, I didn't start wearing Kobe's regularly until the 5 as well. After the poor sales the Kobe 1 had (in the Nashville area), they weren't ready available in that part of the country until right before the 5 came out when 4's started hitting the Nike outlet at Opry Mills mall.
I have a narrow foot so the 4's might've worked for me, but when I tried them on at the outlet they just didn't feel right to play in. The Kobe 5 however, I had close to 10 pair of those.

Yeah out of all the Kobes, 5s were the most I’ve had. Those were so good once you stepped into one and those were TTS even for wide feet. However to me the protro 5s were a different story. I had to size up on those. Don’t know why, maybe my feet are getting fat.
