THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 8-24-24

Did they make super fakes for Carpe 4s? Looking to buy a pair on goat or stockX but with how close these fakes are getting combined with the hit or miss authentication checks has me concerned.

the fakes have a really big tongue compared to legit, look out for that.

Ok so they are fairly obvious compared to legit pairs that they shouldn't make it trough.

Appreciate it.

Yea with the 4s... I think those were obvious to tell of they were reps/fakes. These companies put more effort with the 6s and 5s to make them as close of 1:1

Man I should've did more kb9 ids.
Back then them things cost a grip too though.

 

[grittyman]

I’ve seen fake 4-6’s in that Reddit forum that look like just retail…nothing about them screamed out obvious bootleg imo

[kobe824]

holy those are got damn beauties, those must be IDs right?

 

[kungfu koala]

Sold my pair of these. I get the circumstances, But I regret it frfr.
Hope they retro,; in Not limited numbers.

 

[spiderjericho]

Think that was the second colorway for the 9 (or maybe it was the ASG).

The first few colorways for the KB9 were fire. Salty I never got the Masterpiece.

Also the Xs…the three low top HTM pairs were too (the gray, multicolor, etc).

 

[swaynomics930]

Been slimming my Kobe collection.

 

[Kobekobe]

Pairs I regret selling before his death:

Kobe 4 Finals Away
Kobe X ID's

Needed money desperately at the time.. oh well

 

[the red model]

I sold my python 8s

 

[illhistorical]

Why are purple/white Kobe 4 and 5s called "Inline"?

 

[illhistorical]

Pairs I regret selling before his death, but honestly didn't wear these much (all OGs):
Kobe 4 White Del Sol (was just kind of bored with these).
Kobe 4 Carpe Diem (had another to keep)
Kobe 6 Black Del Sol (6's didn't look right with jeans at the time).
Kobe 9 EM Bruce Lee (can't do yellow shoes)

Worth mentioning the ones I almost had:
Kobe 7 Concords that I saw at Ross for $59.99. Passed on them. Don't think I ever saw the colorway on Kobe's feet.
Kobe 8 Year of the Snake, won the auction for $90. I told the seller I changed my mind and he said he didn't want to sell them for that low.

 

[Blue Mamba]

I sold my python 8s

I passed on those at the time because I thought they didn’t match with anything

 

[spiderjericho]

I sold my python 8s

I gave mine away.

Those Red and Black XIs a page or so back too.

Kobe’s are dope.

The 9s that I will forever be salty about is the Milan HTM lows that Nike decided to make Italy exclusive. The most fire colorway of 9s...

 

[spiderjericho]

Those look to cost over $10Gs now

The white Milan’s look sick too.

S/O Natasha :

Saw a listing of these in my size at the end of April while I was in Vegas for 24hrs. Wasn't looking for them but saw the listing. Would've copped out there if seller accepted my offer
