Kobe =/= Kanye. You have celebrities and athletes going for yeezys because the hype and they're fans. Plus they almost look like some wack *** designer brand shoe. Kobes don't have that same appeal.

Good point fam.But its still 8 vs 2...Guess its my mindset im thinking lol...If i was to spend 6k on shoes at one purchase I would much rather have the prelude pack , than those yeezys.I live far from the US so the kanye effect aint that strong I guess. :lol

Smh at dudes asking 500+ for the 7s and 8s like every pair in the pack is worth over 500

chr0nix · Jan 27, 2014

i wonder if kobe will wear a prelude in his next return, or will we just see him in the 9s? lol

Vis will fetch money too. Maybe even the ivs.

IVs maybe, but a lot of people aren't big fans of the VI, especially after seeing in person. Plus the VI wasn't a great model for Kobe fans. lakers got swept in the playoffs while Kobe wore em.

for 6k in reality you can get 40+ (More if get on discount or clearance) GRs tho. It's all a matter of what you really want.

All I'm saying is some of the new reselling dudes minds are clouded because of the new $$ they're seeing... It doesn't always work how they think. Some of these #s being thrown out are outrageous and I just don't see em sticking.

I read an article today that said Kobe would wear the 9's upon his return...

I agree...But as cloudy new re-sellers minds are, so are the new in to shoes dudes' minds (new collectors) ...

Im with you on that 40+ number though. :smokin

im faded · Jan 27, 2014

So depending on the size I'm guessing the average market on all 8s are roughly....
1s - 600+
2s - 325-375
3s - 300-360
4s - 375-450
5s - 450-525
6s - 400-450
7s - 325-360
8s - 340-400

These are just guesstimate numbers so I may be way off. But these are the prices I have seen so far over the last couple weeks

twistedfear · Jan 27, 2014

prices look about right.. I've seen 5's go for a little more. all of them will be over 400-500+ sooner than later

Info on the black container/storage box please? I have the clear one and hated it.

Both the clear and black are IKEA Samla.

The new dudes will wake up when the next thing pops up and they realize what they just spent on some Kobes.

Any long time Kobe sig fan knows, hype comes around every so often, then is gone just as fast and prices plummet.

Big stage aways were going for 400+ right after release. Before the prelude-itis struck they could be had pretty easily in the $250 range. Now hype is high, prices wen back up. Pretty sure they'll fall again.

Kobe doesn't have a big following like lebron or MJ does. It takes hype to sell his shoes outside of Kobe or Laker fans. Once something new and hyped comes around, the Kobes are once again forgotten.

I don't think the prelude pack will dip that much, especially that 1

dliang · Jan 27, 2014

Glad this Prelude pack is over, can't wait for the Lebron Prelude Pack hahaha

sneakerjesus · Jan 27, 2014

The only reason the pack on ebay will reach 4000 is because it's size 14.value will drop to 3000 eventually 2500.

And how exactly did you come up with this conclusion?

memphissfinest · Jan 27, 2014

I DON'T SEE THE ENTIRE PACK SELLING AS A SET ANY HIGHER THAN $4,500 AT ANY POINT NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.... TO ME $4,000 MAY BE PUSHING IT AS WELL.

*KANYE SHRUG*

ANYWAY THIS WAS MY HAUL FROM THE WHOLE ORDEAL. ALL FOR RETAIL OF COURSE

yeah of the 3 colorways that were revealed, it is said that Kobe will return to the court with the yellow ones. I think its the same one Swaggy P wore.

dont mind that foo, he just posts random bs and has no reasoning/proof behind it.

Kinda reminds me of those crazy people standing on corners preaching about Revelations,

how Jesus is coming back and everyone's going to hell. LOL

vinotwofour · Jan 27, 2014

don't mean to be lazy but does anyone remember what page in this thread where a member posted up the links to all the art for each prelude? Trying to print them out myself once I complete my pack.

Here you go bro, I saved them myself.

vinotwofour · Jan 27, 2014

Ding ding ding....

Unless someone that has A LOT of dough to blow, no one is paying 6k for a complete pack right now, and honestly I don't see it ever happening.

I see it happening... Ya'll in this thread everyday and maybe forgot how limited this pack actually is... There are so many people that didn't have a chance on the pack and are big Kobe fans. I think dudes are selling too early if they are trying to max on profits... Sit on them until dude retires. I'm in the PE game and people spend stacks on 1 pair of kicks like it's nothing so 6K on 8 pairs for some is nothing.

My wife's Prelude 7's GS just came in from NDC and they didn't have the extra laces. I chatted with 2 NDC reps and they both advised that the shoes did not come with extra laces.

I sent them pics of shoes from ebay with the extra laces and they said that ebay was not an authorized Nike retailer and that the sellers were most likely adding their own extra laces to the shoes.

I can't believe Nike is doing me like this.
