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

Hooping in an nba game in AF1 lows is one of the wildest shoe choices ever lol

I know there’s been some crazy ones, but it’s up there

Thabo in air max 90s as his every game shoe is next level though. I read an article where he said after his unfortunate injury nothing felt right except am90s. Idk, just crazy to me though.

Dodgers colors? Nice!

I'm going to say more like Duke colors. Remember, they're a Nike Kobe school now. It was also his college choice before he opted to go to the NBA in 1996. I feel this one falls in line with the previous Kobe shoes that were Duke-themed.

So Kobe saying he would've went to UNC was just him trolling or nah?

I can't recall if he ever acknowledged that UNC was a school of his choice. But I do recall he was highly recruited by a good amount of big name schools. I know UCLA tried to recruit him.

I do recall he acknowledged Duke was his top choice. I believe he also tried to influence the Lakers to hire Coach K during the 2000s when the head coach position was open based on his affinity for him.

Kobe would've picked UNC over Duke

The pre-NBA age limit era produced some of the league’s best players. There were plenty of flops (Google the 2001 NBA draft), but superstars such as Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James and Kevin Garnett were elite players shortly after high school graduation.

Kobe Bryant's College Preference Settled Once and For All

Never knew the correct amount of seriousness to take with these articles, but it made for some good reads at the time.

Got the kobe hoodies from ndc. Graphics could've been better and clearer. Looks like it was printed from an inkless thermal printer or something.

 

[Sim23]

Clark broke the record wearing the Bruce's

 

[Sim23]

Got my hoodies in. Got 2 greys from Nike, and the black from FTL. Standard $70 hoodie, not like higher quality champs/kith/supreme etc, but they also don’t cost $160 each

I like the design on them and will rock them often

Matchy matchy!

Definitely thought about a lace swap. Still need the Chaos pair as well. This pair just gave me like a “what the Kobe” type of vibe on it so I was always a fan of it.

My only complaint is the sail/sand midsole is boring. They already went mismatch with everything else, why not do something more exciting with the midsole?

I'm too lazy to get off my couch to take better pics.

How about Nick Young with the Yeezy 750s?

The women's scoring record belongs to Pearl Moore. Caitlin Clark is unlikely to reach it this year

Long before Iowa star Caitlin Clark hit her first long-range three, Pearl Moore set a scoring standard for women’s basketball that has stood for 45 years.

It's gone back and forth between Carolina and dook

He said UNC because that's where Vince was and he wanted the competition. Seems odd, but Eddie Jones didn't scare him off. Could have been him just talking.

Hoodie came in yesterday. Is it me or do they seem to run smaller?

I noticed it, but I like the way it fit. I haven't tried on the That's Mamba one, but this one wasn't as baggy as the typical Nike hoody.
