THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 3 Releases 4/13

Who you used

I am wondering the same. My Venice Beach 8s separated this week from casual wear. I am most likely sending them to mamba restorations on IG. $175 for a reglue and ice. Not sure how to package them for shipping though.

Such a travesty we didn’t get protros of those and homes and instead got that abysmal mash up .

‘They look authentic and looks like they were authenticated by eBay.

Un-DS’ed these today for some light track work… just wanted to break em in cause they’re going in the bball rotation

 

[Beeb2407]

I should put my yellow laces back on them for when the warm weather returns.

 

[mister friendly]

Where can you get replacement Kobe mid soles?

Buy beaters

 

[nikekid6]

Smh confirmed fakes … i hate this world

 

[tuxedo1208]

Not to me. The tread depth around the Shozoku should be more shallow than the tread around the heel. It should look “more worn” I guess would be a way to describe it. Get other opinions before deciding just my .02.

 

[brian blades]

nikekid6 If you want total peace of mind post them on r/kobereps. Look at the other LCs and QCs and tag the mod, hellokitty and temporaryneck, not sure about their full user names but everyone tags them and they almost always weigh in. They’ll know for sure.

 

[Kobekobe]

Fakes are really good which is why I stopped buying Kobe’s.

Nike or bust for me. Don’t even trust stockx tbh

 

[Beeb2407]

Tryna remember... what pair are confirmed fakes

Have fakes gotten that good? Since when? I remember when the protro 5's came out, they were still using the wrong outsole pattern from the OG. But this was years back so things definitely could've improved. Now I'm curious and kinda wanting to make sure my pairs I bought when they all first released are good. BL, Grinch, Reverse BL, white del sol.

 

[the red model]

I think they were fine when they first released. Now it might be a little harder to tell.

 

[Beeb2407]

What I'm surprised by are Mambacurial 8 and HTM fakes.

Nah 6 fakes have got really good

 

[skaterplayer808]

Well I'm def glad I copped right after each release, even if I did have to pay resell. Fakes plus looking at how prices have increased to what they are now. Always wanted a double of the grinches, but I'm more than happy with my one pair. Maybe I will hold onto my spare BL afterall

And here I was scouring eBay for some good deals on Kobes. At least I would hope the authentication program would flag the super good fakes, but who knows.

I think the main protros I missed out on and still want are the PJs, chaos alts, and the undefeated la brea 1's. Probably will just save money and hold out for the mambacita 4's, reverse grinches, and anything new moving forward
