Funny to me how the Kobe line continues to pump out various CWs and Lebron line just sort of reluctantly releases C r a p here and there depending on their moods that day or whatever the deal.
My question is, Is Lebron and his "crew", associates/whoever pulls the strings over there that D ouc he y and arrogant, or are Kobe and his handlers/ whoever pulls the strings on Kobe's line that chill that they just say let 'em(the public) have whatever they want.
In summary, Kobe's line gives his fans and supporters a pretty good taste of various colorways and designs, while most of Lebron's line leaves his fans and supporters wanting for more. I don't want to start a Kobe > Bron type argument, but its interesting to me that as sneaker and basketball fans, we get most of what we want with the Kobe 6, while so many CWs go unreleased on the other side of things. Is this a personal thing, a corporate thing, or a "crew" thing. Maybe a combination of all 3. just wondering. I STRESS. no need for this person better than this person. More interested if anyone really knows inside or outside NIKE, how these issues are settled and managed.
I really don't like to discuss player's character traits in a shoe thread but I find it pretty comical you label Lebron as an arrogant dou che while leaving Kobe alone. Ohhhh but this is a Kobe thread, now it all makes sense.Originally Posted by Bryscooplaygrifhold

Yep, somethin for everybody in the VI. About the tank thing though maybe I'm a bit harder on my hooping pair but the sole is already coming unglued after about 3 months of use. Also at the flex point right below the toe, on both sides the material is ripping creating a hole in between the scales, on both shoes. However this isn't slowing down my purchases. It's amazing how soft and flexxible this shoe gets from continued use. Looking forward to the VII, hope it lives up to the VI.Originally Posted by eddo1005
ace, laker gradient, laker 3d, dk, the list goes on.....might end up with like 15 pairs of kobe vi, when its all said and done. Crazy. I could ball everyday in these Kobes till i am 40, and prolly still have a few DS.....
These things are pretty much tanks.
Well, rock said that with the lbj line that lebron comes in, see's the cw's and decides which one's will release and which one's will go to his crew. I think you don't see this with the kobe line simply because kobe doesn't have an entourage. I don't see it as lebron being douchey (I really don't think he cares which shoes become exclusives and which become gr's) but rather him looking out for his boys. I know if I was him, I would do the same for my people so I really can't be mad at him.Originally Posted by Bryscooplaygrifhold

And, just to clarify, I don't know who is behind the decisions. But, whoever is RESPONSIBLE, I would label as uptight and overly controlling, to think that releasing 4-5 colors of a shoe the public is clamoring for would somehow "lessen" or take something away from the line. Perhaps its not Do uch ey, perhaps its insecure, I don't really know, but for whatever reason, we don't tend to see the same or similar things happening with the Kobe line. Maybe it has absolutely nothing to do with either player, and merely whoever is managing them. Does that mean, Kobe is awesome and Lebron sucks. NO. I personally don't know either so I have no clue, but what I do know is that if my name were on something, I would make darn sure it was accessible to as many people that wanted it for a fair and reasonable price. (i.e KD35- huge respect for his line and how they've handled it).
Dustin said thanks for the heads up!Originally Posted by bmoore34
Dustin, Just a heads up your link doesn't pull up the new colors, but if you search Kobe VI you will find them.Originally Posted by EastbayRep
Hey guys, I would just like to confirm that we have recently received the Kobe VI in six different team colorways. They are currently available for pre-order and we do expect them to ship on 9/12. You can check out those, and the rest of our Kobe VI shoes here: http://bit.ly/om6bPW Thanks.Originally Posted by dubchester
Eastbay has all the new team colorways...6 in all!! Not a huge fan of any but I know some of you guys are. Didn't know they were releasing. EDIT: looks like they are a pre-order item. Shipping on 9/12.
EastbayRep - Dustin
Defiantly was a surprise. I did another check on any upcoming shipments in for Kobe VI shoes and the Team Bank colorways are the only ones we are expecting in for next month (September).Originally Posted by dubchester
^ Thanks, Dustin! Were these a surprise shipment since you guys weren't expecting anything this month or next month?
Give it some time.Originally Posted by thapointguy
New TBs aren't cutting it. They will sit on Eastbay. Eastbay rep, you guys should discount them right now.
